All, I'm am excited to be bringing this Archery based ministry to my church in Voluntown, Connecticut. My goal is to try to raise $3,200.00 to get this ministry up and running. To date I have raised about $1,500.00 so I'm about $800.00 short of my goal...it is my hope to have these funds raised by mid March, so I can order the required ministry kit, and then schedule the required certification training in April, so I can launch the program in mid May. There are so many positives that can come of this...not only will we be able to bring more people to the sport of Archery, This isn't just for kids, but for adults as well, it can bring families together, and allow everyone to participate, and share with them the word of God. I don't know where any of you are in your faith, and it's none of my business that is between you and God, and I'm not going to pass any judgment on anyone based on their belief or lack there-of. If God puts it on your heart to made a donation to this ministry, please send your donation to: Voluntown Baptist Church 52 Main St Voluntown, CT 06351 (Any amount would be graciously appreciated!) If paying by check, please write "Centershot" in the memo section of the check, if submitting cash, please include a note indicating "Centershot" so the donation will go to the correct place.

I have been in contact with a Church in Rhode Island that currently has a Centershot program, and we are looking forward to getting together with that church to have some friendly competition between each other. I'd really like to see more churches bring this ministry to their community! Please watch this video: and then if you want to know more click on the link below.

Congrats to everyone on their successes this year....My season is done, I could hunt until the end of Jan. but have chose to end my season as my freezer is full. Thanks for a great season. ~ Van

Congrats Strut, I took a nice mature doe last Wed...same deal here, no upgrade so I didn't bother to post it. I still have until the end of Jan to fill tags, so there is room to improve the score! Best of luck all. ~ Van

Confirmed I just got the PM back, and all deer have to be submitted/posted on the deer photo entry page to count toward the teams score...so please re-post your deer pics in the photo entry thread so we can receive credit for the deer. Thanks, ~ Van

All, I believe that you have to submit/post your photo under the "photo entry" thread in order for us to receive credit for the score...I just looked and we only have 2 of our deer scored for the team. Please make sure that you post them under the photo entry thread! Thanks ~ Van

Congrats Andy....looking forward to the pics...we are finishing up the last week of shotgun here in CT, and we begin ML season next Wed...still looking to improve on what I've already submitted! Keep at it everyone! ~ Van

GREAT job! What an awesome buck, and a great story! Thanks for sharing, and Congrats!!

Awesome Buck!! Congrats!! I scored on another 6 pt. this year, but it wasn't an upgrade so I didn't post it...our shotgun season begins on Wed, and I'll be out there Wed, and Thurs looking to try to improve on the 6 pt. I've already submitted...Best of luck everyone, and we can still pull this off! ~ Van
