Hale, of the Towel Mill Weave Room,
has won a boxful of individual awards.
Bobby Eanes, another member, has won
awards in two state tournaments.
As hunters, their record is just as im
pressive. Virtually every member has
killed a deer with his bow and arrow
and one year there were five Weave
Room bow men who had killed deer.
Although they are avid hunters, the
archers are much interested in conserva
tion. Members of the association are re
quired to abide by hunting laws to re
main a member of the club. If any mem
ber is convicted of a hunting law viola
tion, he loses his membership.
Aside from hunting, archery is en
couraged as a family sport. Wives and
children eight years old and up often
take part. Safety regulations are strict
and, as far as the local archers know, no
one has been hurt on an archery range.
The Fieldale group is affiliated with
the National Field Archers Association
and the Virginia Bow Hunters Associa
tion. They have competed in shoots at
many places in Virginia and nearby
states and are now looking forward to
the state tournament in Richmond on
Labor Day.
