WELCOME NEW CLUBS!
There have been several new and already established clubs that have recently joined the ranks of Horse Archery USA! Please welcome them to the HAUSA family and visit them on Facebook - there may be a new club near you!



"NEW" NEWSLETTER EDITOR, CHRIS MARKS
If you cross paths with Chris Marks, please be sure to thank her for taking on the task of Newsletter Editor - and be prepared for her to give you a hilarious quick-witted comeback! Chris is an accomplished author, having written and published four novels, four novellas, an anthology, and has contributed to several publications such as journals and magazines. We're confident that she will be a great asset to our volunteer staff! All members are encouraged to contribute to the newsletter, which will soon be emailed out on a regular schedule! All HAUSA members are encouraged to send your horseback archery related photos, video clips, news, articles, and event announcements to Chris at [email protected]
