Hot Spring County Wins Team Event at ABA Spring Shoot
It was the Miller show, with some help from Richard Hathcock, that made up the Hot Spring County Bowhunters team. Richard joined with James, Mary, and Charles Miller to lead all other teams.
The two day event saw 284 shooters enjoy some beautiful spring weather. We actually had more shooters on Saturday than Sunday.
This was one of the best Spring events the ABA has ever enjoyed. Shooters saw some very competitive ranges. Those making it to the Spring Banquet enjoyed some good fried catfish, all the trimmings, and cake or cobbler, or both.
As with any big shoot, it would not have been successful without the generosity of our sponsors and donors. We deeply appreciate all they do and ask all winners and recipients to take a moment and send a nice thank you note - our supporters will be happy to see the communication.
