2015
Chamberlin Dates
April 11-12th !!
Confirmed Dates!
Most of you
have heard about my Ovarian cancer diagnosis at the end of March
(2014) First and foremost thank you for all your prayers, cards
and calls, it means the world to us. I am doing very
well so far and will be done with the first year of chemo
sometime in April of 2015. We discussed the shoot for 2015 and
everyone who ran the shoot beautifully last year for us, insist
we continue in 2015 and have committed to running things again
so thanks so much again! We will order a lot of new
animals for the shoot - we really need them! Vince and I will be
there if at all possible but will not know until April. So
Flyers will go out sometime in February as usual. We had a great
turnout at last shoot and anticipate the same in 2015.
Fred is doing
well and home recuperating from a nasty buggy accident he had in
April.

Sad News
Steve Abbott passed away
Jan. 29, 2014.
He was as most of you know, a
well known and accomplished bowyer and friend in Traditional
Archery. This was very sudden and unexpected.
It is probable -but not yet
confirmed that he died from complications due to a blood
infection or disorder of some type. He went to the
doctors, was admitted, went into a coma and passed soon after
that this morning.
He will be missed by the many
who knew him and met him at the Traditional Shoots around the
country. Many of you own and shoot his well made and
easy shooting bows. He was a regular Vender at our Chamberlin
Shoot every April and donated many bows to our Raffle over the
years. We are sad and still in disbelief that he is gone....he
was 61.

HOWARD E. HARVILL
1948 - 2013
Howie Harville 1948-2013
1948 - 2013
We have lost another friend in
Archery Howard "Howie" Harville passed away August 10th this
year. He succumbed to his Kidney cancer after a long courageous
fight. He was one of the nicest gentleman you'd ever want to
meet. Many of you may remember him at the shoots from time to
time selling his wonderful primitive bows. He was busy guy....an
accomplished bowyer, he was a hunter, bee keeper, a Tae Kwon Do
yellow belt (this year) among other many other things-We thank
him for fighting for our
country in Viet Nam. Howie really lived life to the fullest. We
who knew him will miss talking with him, he was so enthusiastic
about life and had a good attitude until the end. He will be
missed.
John Burns passed
6/08/1938-2/18/2012
We have lost another friend in
archery, John Burns died Saturday Feb. 18th. after a long and
courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. John was great friend,
a man of his word and an unbelievably talented arrowsmith that
is as well known for his straight arrows as he is for his limp
which is another "arrow" story. Many loved John as Vince and I
did, he will for sure be missed by many. There will never
be another like John, he was one of a kind, quite a character
and was blessed with the most lovely sense of humor...
Bennie and Big John
Many of you already know
that another special archery friend Bennie Harrington has passed
after a VERY long and courageous battle to survive
several surgeries with many set backs . He was a very close
friend as you know to Vince and I, passed away last Fall
on September 16th 2010. His pal Froto died a few weeks earlier.
He was great friend and like a father to me - I can't tell you
how hard it has been losing Bennie and Big John this past year.
Our
very dear friend Big John Wade passed away unexpectedly
Thursday morning August 19th 2010.
He
was a very good friend to many. A devoted Christian and great
man who loved his friends and devoted his time freely to the
things he loved, family, friends, his church community and
archery. He was a great blessing to the clubs who were lucky
enough to have his time and hard work one of which was TBC and
the Chamberlain Event. We will miss him more than anyone can
know. We are so happy that we spent a week with him at his
Traditional event in Mammoth end of July. We loved him dearly.
We know John is happy in Heaven. We are the ones, his friends
and family who feel the pain of his loss greatly. God Bless Big
Guy...Cathy andVince

Memorial shoot In July in Mammoth
