6th
Annual 420 Pro/Am Tournament 2015:
Another saga for
The 420 Target and
its acceptance is now in the history books. The 6th Annual 420 Pro/Am was our
biggest ever. It
is our belief
that
The 420 Target brings
challenge to the Pros without hurting the amateur
shooters, and
this is why we have worked
so hard promoting
The 420 Target as
"Bringing
the
CHALLENGE BACK to Archery" for everyone. Most all the
Pros shoot 60X 300's and are bored with the normal target. We have had Pros
shoot the tournament every year.
The 420 Pro Records, are posted at
the bottom of this sheet. We
have had nothing but good comments
on the
target
by all that have shot it, and this year was our 6th Annual 420 Pro/Am. ELITE ARCHERY
has always sponsored The 420 Pro/Am with $200.00 Contingency money from ELITE ARCHERY
if you win your class with five or more shooters in your class shooting an ELITE
BOW.
The
The 420 Target has
been a big step on Creekwood's trip to "Shoot Em' In The Middle".
******************************************************************************
M & T BANK has also been a major sponsor of our 420 Pro/Am from the first year
on. They help us out with cash, pizza, pop, pens or pencils and of course
helping to support our business. Dan Kubit the President of The Hilton Branch of
M & T and his son Dan will be shooting the 420 Pro/Am in 2016 because they are
starting to enjoy archery together this year.

When you
purchase an ELITE BOW this is the man that owns the
company, Peter Crawford.
He
is fun, honest, caring, loves perfection and on top
of that, is my
friend. Pete has
sponsored the
420 Pro/Am from day one.
Go get yourself an ELITE
BOW and
next year, win some money and
get an extra $200.00
from
ELITE by winning with 5
or more
shooters in your class. The 2016,
420 Pro/Am will
be combined with The Winter Cam Classic a Major 3D Tournament in 2016. Watch for
the
dates in 2016.

Christie Colin, has the Female Freestyle record of 300 - 53 X's - 25 IX's = 378
which
won
her a check for $335.00 in 2010.
Christie is a real competitor with class,
she has
four
world records and is a great ambassador for archery.
Part of
being
a
Pro is to come down
and shoot with
the amateur shooters like me and she
is one
of the few that
actually does
that.
Since
she moved to Pennsylvania, I miss
her and her hubby
Terry
who owns,
World
Record Strings a whole bunch. He
had to name his business
that, because
Christi set all
her
world records shooting strings Terry made.
**************************************************************************************
Samantha Neal won $500.00 in 2011 with a
score of 300 + 46 X's + 12 IX's = 358. Sam,
her mom & dad have competed thru
WNYFAB at Creekwood since she was in her
early teens. Her dad, Tracy made the
420 Pro/Am stickers that so many of
you have.
Sam not only shoots em in the
middle, but she is a super nice person, works hard at
her archery and growing
the sport of archery.
**************************************************************************************
Jesse
Broadwater, has the Male Freestyle record of 300 - 59 X's
- 42 IX's = 401
which
won him a FIRST PLACE check for
$750.00 in 2011. In 2010 Jesse & Shane
were
coming and they both got snowed in. The snow was so deep, his
mini-horses just
walked over the fence and got out. Shane was buried even worse than that.
Both
Jesse & Shane shot
5 inside X rounds (picture below) and you talk about
ball busting.
These guys are best friends who just love to push
each other and
have a great time doing it.
It's who shot the first 5 inside X round and then who shot
the most 5 IX rounds,
and
then it was, yes but who missed an X, followed by who
had the most IX's. It is a
HOOT to be around guys like this.
COMPETITIVE SERIOUS FUN!
LIFE IS GOOD !

Jeff Human is now on the PSE Pro Staff and the reason he is, he wins a lot. He
shoots Bowhunter Freestyle. Two years
ago he started coaching so if you want to
improve your game, there is a local person that you could work with. He knows
how
to teach the mechanics, but more than that he is a mental - mental - mental
shooter.
Archery at his level is about 97%
mental and if you listen to Jeff, you
might learn
something.
**************************************************************************************
Chuck Cooley had been a Pro for a couple of years and this was
the first time he had
ever won as a Pro and he was
excited. Chuck was here with his daughter
who is a
Cheerleader in Watkins Glen, and a good little shooter herself.
He won with a
score
of 300 + 48 X's + 21 IX's = 369. Chuck brought on-line video to our
NYS Indoor
Championships
and is now the spokesman for all the NFAA
Pros at their meetings. Chuck is a
Optometrist and owns Feather Visions
located in Ithaca, NY. Feather
Visions is a
innovator in optics in the archery industry.

Ricky worked at Creekwood for many years, just
recently graduated from college
and
plans on
spending more time with
his bow now. Before Ricky went to Vegas
last year he
decided to turn Pro. Many years ago Jimmy Despart was seriously
looking at Ricky
to be a shooter for Martin Archery, but back then he wasn't going
to the big
shoots and Jimmy went off
to Albany and opened his own shop Flying
Arrow II.
Ricky is now has graduated from college, has bought a house and
has a
good
full time job, and is shooting his best ever with his new Elite VICTORY.
**************************************************************************************
If you
want to
compete for the money, have your name associated with the Pros listed above,
keep an eye on our
calendar in 2016 for the dates of the 7th Annual 420 Pro/Am Tournament and
remember to bring your game. When
shooting
The 420 Target , it separates the shooters from the
shooter want to bees. The 420
Pro/Am may be in multiple
venues next year so if
you register early, you might find
out you don't have to travel as far as you
thought.
LIFE IS GOOD !
