Reminder: we are now into our discounted 1/2 year membership period. For those interested in Fall/Winter membership for the
hunting season only, take advantage of membership from now till February 1st 2026.
News: Membership sign ups will be taken on 1st Sunday Shoot days and Work Day Saturdays. Bring your forms filled out or fill
them out at the Clubhouse. We believe that the electric work is now completed and the club should be back to normal every
day operation. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during those days the club was inaccessible.
A bonus for us as we had been told we would not be hooked up and would continue to rely on using our generator, some
how that decision was reversed and now for the first time since the storm that took down hundreds of
trees and the power poles, we are back online. Makes every day operation of the club easier for
those involved in maintaining the grounds.
The red course is moving towards all deer (type) targets for the fall hunting season as we have for the
last few years. This is something the membership has let us know they appreciate this time of year.
The transition to all deer (type) targets on Red will be complete by the First Sunday Shoot in September.
2026 will mark the 70th year Anniversary of Wapiti Archery (1956-2026) and we are going to
have a commemorative t-shirt done. These will be of a completely different design than
the current Club shirts. If you are/would be interested in getting one you will need to let us know and
have your name put on the list. No payment is required till you get your shirt/shirts but we are
placing an order for a specific amount and will not have “stock” to sell after the original order.
Once the shirts are ordered we will not order more. Long and short sleeve shirts will be ordered.
The sign up will be at the Clubhouse.
Fall is coming and as you probably are already seeing we have quite an abundance of deer
on the club grounds. This is the yearly reminder that there is No hunting on ANY of the club
grounds…ever. This includes the property on the other side of the Sandy Run creek (which is part of
our grounds) which we are responsible for patrolling. As part of a State Park we will and have
reported poaching in the past, and unfortunately have had to ban(permanently) a few that believed
they were special. Reminder complete.
Back to the good stuff: The targets on the quarry range have held up nicely and have proven a good
investment for the club. We will be replacing the 5 original targets sometime in the spring of 2026
and moving the old targets in behind the remaining older targets as sort of “doubling “
and with this feel the second 5 targets will last through till the end of 2026. These targets not only
have saved the club money wise but provide a large shooting area at all distances. Now that we have
had these targets on the range for a couple years people have figured out that you can shoot
every inch of the surface and not just the center. This is what makes these targets worth paying $600.
apiece. Thank you for your cooperation in making them last. Everywhere we can save the club
money is more we have to invest in another area to continue to maintain and improve Wapiti for
another 70 years.
