The computer on the table is the one I have been tied to for two weeks, setting up data bases
for the shooters and all the different classes, figuring payouts for the Pros and Amateurs, and
how we were going to do things in the Youth Division. At 68 years old I found out I can still
function with not much sleep. This event was a total team event - THANK YOU one and all.
The names of the team members are listed on the bottom of the results sheet.
These pictures were taken on Friday morning before the practice session started at 1:00pm.
The shop is so picked up and pretty, it doesn't look like our shop. The flowers on the table
are my bride's from her birthday yesterday. We will do her birthday later.
This was billed on our web site as the best thing Creekwood has ever done, and it was "THE
BEST THING WE EVER DID". The only negative thing was the storm that came up the East
Coast and buried Shane Wills and Jesse Broadwater. The picture below is Jesse's truck, and
the message he sent me said, "I don't think we woulda made it anyhow, Ben LOL!"
The shooters came in and registered at the counter and picked up there envelopes
containing there score cards and lane assignments. Below Christie Colin and Dick Reuter
are getting set up.
Practice started at 1:00 pm on Friday and we had subs, fresh fruit, chips and dips out.
Below Samantha Neal a Pro for PSE and her mom and dad, Tracy and Pamela who also
competed were grabbing a little chow. Meanwhile the crew and refs are all assembled
and ready for the first scores to come in.
Before scoring the last end of each line we took a group picture of everyone who shot.
The only line I didn't get a picture of was the Friday 7:00pm line, but seeing everyone
shot twice your picture is here.

The trophies and metals had a picture of our 420 target on them which the kids liked a lot.
Chuck Cooley took 1st Pro Male FS Chuck with his daughter a Cheerleader
in Watkins Glen
Chuck is a Optometrist and owns Feather Visions located in Ithaca, NY. Feather Visions
is a innovator in optics in the archery industry. Chuck wants to be a sponsor of the 420
Tournament in 2011.
Christie Colin (center) took 1st Pro Female FS Samantha Neal took 2nd Pro Female FS
When Christie and Samantha get there BIG CHECKS there pictures will go in here. These two
young women are as serious as you can get when it comes to representing archery in this country.
Jeff Human took 1st Place Pro Male BHFS He doesn't brag at all, but has world records.
Jeff has started his own coaching business. I do not know what his rates are or how many
people he is willing to coach, but I can tell you Jeff can coach you on the mechanics of
making the shot, but more than that,
he understands the mental side of making the shot. He is always experimenting with things
in archery.
Brad Carney only person to shoot 5 inside X's in Tournament
Ricky Smith Shot highest score in the Tournament and of course took
1st place Amateur Freestyle Score 753 (out of 840) 98 X's and 55 Inside X's
Ricky worked at Creekwood for many years, just recently graduated from college and
plans on spending more time with his bow now. It wouldn't surprise me if he was
asked to turn Pro soon.
Ron Coyle took 1st Amateur Male Senior FS and won $200.00 Contingency Money
from ELITE ARCHERY with 7 shooters in his class. I could not run my business
without Ron. He is a friend, a great guy to be around and a guy that is tough to beat.
2nd place NAA Nationals in 2008, a real champion. Ron is a great ambassador for
archery and if he sets up your bow, you can't have any excuses.
You senior Male Freestyle Shooters better bring your game
when you take on this guy.
Diane Calleri took 1st Place Armature A-F-S-FS
This is the ELITE ARCHERY crew - Do you believe Peter Crawford (Elite Owner) is shooting
paper? On the right Pete is explaining to his son how it is important to shoot the X's just as
fast as you possibly can. His record in his tournament, his first tournament, was 5 arrows in
54 seconds. If you can't kill it and eat it Pete really isn't into it yet, but he can shoot. Pete took
4th place in his division.
This is not the BIG M & T Bank, but this is the Hilton NY branch of M & T which is
Creekwood's bank for 16 years.
They are a great bunch of people who have had a lot of faith in
and promote Creekwood Archery.
This is Petineries Deli where the subs came from and where many of the shooters went to
get there own food, pizza, gas and convieance store type things.
They are just around the corner.
Just north of Petineries is the Lake Ontario Winery and Biestro, which
gave us lunches for two and the bottle of wine for one of our Pro's
which Jesse Broadwater won. Thank Samantha
for drawing your name Jessee
Tom Sawyer took 1st Amateur Male Senior BHFS
Lori Moses took 1st Amateur Female BHFSL
Matt MacDonald took 1st Amateur Male BHFS
Matt was also our photographer so if you see a good picture it's Matt's.
If it's kind of blurry it's mine.
Amanda MacDonald took 1st Amateur Female BHFS
Amanda and Matt made the BIG CHECKS we gave away as awards
plus the $1470.00 total cash of course.
When you work as hard as this couple did on the 420 Tournament
