2005 Oklahoma State Archery Association Hall of Fame Inductees: Fred and Patsy Pocock As goes Fred and Patsy Pocock, so goes the OSAA. Without a doubt, Fred and Patsy are the backbone of our organization and have been for a number of years. They began their involvement in archery in 1966, and joined the NFAA that same year. Both later became life members. Patsy took over the OSAA in 1972, and except for a few months, has published the state newsletter ever since. Fred served as State parliamentarian for 8 years, state secretary from 1974 thru 1981, and has just recently taken the office again. Patsy was our classification secretary from 1975 to 1984 ... processing all state and national dues. In 1987 Fred and Patsy both received an award that no other Oklahoma NFAA member has received: the NFAA Medal of Merit. Since Fred’s retirement he operates the Arrow Shop. His main concern in his archery business is to make sure that people get started in archery on the

NASP in Texas by Paula Dangler, President, TFAA barebow@sbcglobal.net On November 5, 2005 Texas Field Archery Association, along with our Texas National Archery in Schools program representatives, was invited to participate along with the National Rifle Association in an event put on by the Students for the 2nd Amendment. This took place at the National Shooting Complex just outside San Antonio. Norm McMinn brought a school setup with Genesis Bows, arrows, backstop and bow racks. Darrin Brown of Hips Targets donated targets. Ed and Paula Dangler, Norm Mcminn (NASP) and Councilman Lee Gregory, all participated with information on archery, instruction, and clubs associated with archery. It is so rewarding to see a young child or adult shoot a bow for the first time. Some of the parents were amazed at their child’s interest in the sport and could see the benefits of this being a family activity. NASP will be holding their first State Shoot in conjunction with the TFAA State Indoor Championship in February 2006.
