 6/14/2010 - Archery just became stronger in HEAVEN:



            I just got off the phone with a customer and the bad news conveyed was, George Chapman just passed away on Friday June 11th. When George passed away, I was in Cortland, NY shooting my personal best at 60 - 50 - 40 yard tournament at the NYS Senior Games. I never would have been there if it wasn't for George and his bride Patti; as a matter of fact I probably wouldn't still be in business if it wasn't for those two ARCHERY GIANTS, they taught us so much.

            When Fred Bear passed in 1988, his eulogy said that the woods went silent up along the Ausable River in Michigan. George's passing, like Fred Bear, will cause archers all over the world, hunters and target shooters alike, to stop and reflect on their memories of the Chapman's. When we started Creekwood Archery, George did our Dealer School in Tucson Arizona. What a great start for our new business. We were so impressed, George and Patti did five shooter schools over the years at Creekwood. I never took them to the airport after the school was over where I didn't literally cry while saying goodbye. It was such a special treat to have people of that caliber sharing their expertise with our customers, holding absolutely nothing back. They were the type of people who cared so very much about every single person in the school. They would do a free mini-shooter school for all our kids at Creekwood which had a lot to do with Creekwood kicking butt at the State Indoor Championships, so many years in a row. While staying at our home, their business advice given for free, you couldn't put a price on. George told me once, his dream was to have a shop like mine, where he could stay in one spot, do his schools at home, and not have to travel all over the country. He said, "Ben you have so many good ideas, but remember, all your ideas cause you more work, and there are only twenty four hours in a day." Every time I have an idea, I remember, and reflect on that advice.

             When people who are special in this world pass away, it just doesn't seem right. We all know the very fact that we are born means we are going to someday die, but I'm here to tell you when you get to heaven, and there is archery there, you will find George and Patti are back together and helping everyone get better and enjoy the sport more. When George competed as a Pro, three times at National Tournaments, he paid his entry fee, went out to the range and kicked everyone's butt, then stepped up to the table and paid another entry fee and went out and did it again left handed. He always said he could do it because of the way he set up a bow, not because he was a better shooter than his competition. It's that set-up and how to think that he shared with thousands of archers all over the world.

             For many of our recent customers, you don't know about George and Patti Chapman. The reason you don't is because we stopped having his shooter schools because George was in a bad race car accident ( his other hot button), or Patti was ill and he was taking care of her, or George was ill and she was taking care of him. I didn't want something to happen to them coming to Creekwood to do a school. They were both, archery work-a-holics and kept doing schools even though their health really wasn't up to par.

             We at Creekwood Archery send our condolences to George's sons, daughter, grandchildren and all the people who new George and Patti. Howard Hill said that Falconry was, "The Sport of Kings" and archery was the "King of Sports", George was an inspiration to the Kings in our sport of ARCHERY.

             There is going to be a service on Saturday, June 19th, at 2:30 pm at the Casas Baptist Church, 10801 North LaCholla Blvd., Oro Valley, Arizona 85742

If you haven't shot the new Hoyt 2010 Maxis 31 or TurboHawk yet, you don't know what a bow can be like. Even if your not ready to buy a new bow yet you need to know what the ultimate bow feels like. Come in and shoot one.
The 2010 PSE "X FORCES" are here NOW! This is the third year for the X Force. What an exceptional family of bows. This is a bow that goes against everything I have always preached. Usually fast bows make you miss quicker. This bow is fast and accurate. For 2010 they have more speed and more let-off. The IBO can be up to 366 fps. WOW ! PSE put a new mark on the wall with this bow three years ago. Come in and shoot one. Two years ago the X-Force won the Team Triple Crown in 3D. Fast and accurate - How can that be? Come in and see a video on it. They have seven models. Plus the "X FORCE SUPER SHORT", a little over 26" long the bow I have chosen to hunt with the last two years.

                  As you may have noticed above, we are a new dealer for Elite Bows. What a sweet bow, fast,    quiet, and    accurate. It is a line of bows like none other I have ever shot. They point like a dream and the main headquarters are here in Rochester. They are manufactured and assembled in Michigan.  Come        check them out.

NOTICE: Because I have had a total knee replacement and had a taste of what it is like to not to work seven days a week, we at Creekwood's Mom & Pop Shop are going to try to get some time to ourselves. We will be closed on some Sunday's. For 15 years we have given you our best, seven days a week and now with some time off, it may even get better.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

HOYT NIGHT - TUESDAY NOV 17th
7:30pm to 9:00pm meet Tony Tazza,
our HOYT Rep & SEE or SHOOT the 2010 BOWS
Hoyt night 2010 was a super success, like last
year. No pressure, just come and see what a bow
can be. That NEW carbon rod bow is something
else. When Tony was at the sales meeting, they
drove over the bow with a truck with no damage.
They hack sawed the carbon rods 1/3 of the way
thru in 7 places and dry fired the bow 500 times
with no more damage to the riser other than the
hack sawing .

Tony Tazza (center left) is not only my rep, and a
Hoyt Pro, but is a person with a wealth of archery
savvy who is willing to share it. A real fun person
to be around. Some of the new 2010 line of bows
are in stock for you to com experience.
Thanks Tony.

We are so very fortunate to be involved with the success of our customers. It gets better every year. Thanks for you being you. LIFE  IS  GOOD ! It is hard work, but is all worth it in the long run.

            Well CREEKWOOD went to the 2008 NYFAB Classic with 40 shooters strong (29% of the total 145 shooters there) who kicked butt the weekend of March 29th & 30th. On Saturday they had practice and a CD shoot, which Allison Gurgel one of our Cubs ended up in a shoot off with 2 other adult shooters from Creekwood and Alli kicked butt and won over $600 worth of stuff. Not to shabby for a 11 year old girl. She beat two 300 shooters also from Creekwood. GOOD JOB ALLI.  Click here for pictures. LIFE IS GOOD
            
            The following weekend CREEKWOOD was one of the host ranges for the NFAA NYS INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS.

The official results are not out yet but we are pretty sure we won our fair share. Click here for pictures. LIFE IS GOOD!

        "Creekwood" went to the 2007 State Championships and did quite well, in fact for the third year in a row we dominated. We  were told we had 59 people there. We can only account for 55 but at any rate it was more than last year. We had 14, Best in Style Champions and 14 First Places for a total of 28 NYS Champions. All this and we had a lot of FUN !  We are so proud of all our shooters and there accomplishments. Even the old fart owner won Best in Style this year. Close to a 100 State Champions have come from Creekwood over the years. We have Vegas Winners in our ranks and many Nationally ranked people and a 3 time All American had there start at Creekwood Archery.  LIFE  IS  GOOD !   What a trip to; "SHOOT 'EM IN THE MIDDLE".

CREEKWOODS 2nd CHRISTMAS CAROL - On Wednesday December 16th, from 6:30 to 7:30 we will have our second annual CHRISTMAS CAROL. Come have some eggnog (With or Without) and sing some Christmas Carols with us. This was a last minute idea that Marcia had in 2006 and what a success it was. Between 30 or 40 folks showed up, drank a lot of eggnog, ate a lot of cookies and dipped a lot of dip. Donna and Bill Hance brought a keyboard. There was an equal amount of adults and kids. We sang, we shared Christmas memories. Patty and Mike Fryers daughter signed Silent Night while everyone sang it and I got tears in my eyes. I knew we had started a new tradition at Creekwood.

            Sunday April 13th, 2008 LaSalle Sportsman Club hosted the WNYFAB (Western NY Field Archers & Bowhunters) Indoor Championships and Creekwood showed up, as usual. The old curmudgeon Ben took a 2nd in FS "A" Class, Nathan Bootes took 1st in FSL "B" Class, Chris Paluskiewicz took 1st in BHFS "AA" Class, Vanessa Deuel took 1st in BHFS "B" Class, Lori Moses took 1st in BHFSL "B" Class and Sarah Paluskiewicz took 1st in Youth FS/FSL "A" Class.  WNY is a good thing. They start there indoor competition the 1st Sunday in Dec. and compete all winter. You can shoot at 8:00am, 11:00am or 2:00pm each Sunday. Come and play with us next winter. LIFE  IS  GOOD !
