Last September 23, 2012, a girl scouts troop visited Diablo Bowmen to shoot some arrows.
Here’s a video:
“Wow, well we pulled it off. It was successful as evidenced from the smiles, compliments and organization. I enjoyed doing this event with fellow members and friends and I hope you all did as well. It could not have happened without the help of each and every one of you (Kathy, Pete, Rick, Bruce, Sharla, Cleon, Ivan, Cindy, Scott, Kent, Carl, Cory, Dakotah, Miguel, and other volunteers). We exposed a lot of hopefuls to the sport of archery; answered questions; and gave direction. I just wanted to personally thank all of you for giving your time on a holiday weekend to help Diablo promote archery and boost our account so that we can continue to do so in the future.” ~ Angel

On Sunday, July 8, 2012, the class from Antioch, CA, visited Diablo Bowmen to learn archery.
