01/05/2012 Field Governor Meeting

As mentioned in the OBH Magazine there has been a recommendation to change the current tournament rules to conform to NFAA. This change is necessary to meet our obligations to NFAA but more importantly to make our rules easier to understand and have the tournaments easier to administrate. All classes and divisions would align with NFAA.

A summary of the proposal was published in the January/February issue of the OBH Magazine and the complete proposed revisions are available for you to read and download here at the OBH website.

01/04/2012 HUNTERS CAN HELP PREDATOR FUNDING

If you are concerned about the impacts that predators, such as cougars and coyotes, are having on deer, elk, other wild game and livestock, I hope you are aware that hunters can now voluntarily contribute toward local predator control programs. The 2011 Oregon Legislature approved HB-3636 which allows hunters to donate from $2 to $100 dedicated to predator control programs through any hunting license sales agent or online at www.dfw.state.or.us.

Funds from donations associated with hunting license sales will be divided up among counties that have a predator control program where the license or permit is valid. Counties with predator control programs include: Benton, Baker, Clackamas, Coos, Curry, Deschutes, Douglas, Gilliam, Jackson, Jefferson, Harney, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Marion, Morrow, Polk, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco and Washington. Non-hunters may also contribute to the program and designate which county they would like to support.

While voluntary predator control donations from hunters likely isn't the long-range solution to funding an effective predator control program in Oregon, every little bit will help considering the current sad state of funding for such programs. And, considering the serious inroads predators have made and continue to make on game animals and livestock, I hope hunters will step up and do our part (and, as usual, more) to help fund effective local predator control efforts.

President, Craig Starr

After many years of great service Wanda has given notice of her intent to retire as the Tournament Secretary. We are in need of a replacement. If you are interested or know of anyone that would be interested in helping OBH fill this position please contact President Craig Star ASAP.

11/30/2011 Indoor Tournament Registration Now Open

Please Note the Shooting Class Changes for 2012
Note: There has been some reductions to shooting classes for the 2012 tournaments. Most of the changes effect the Cub, Youth and Young Adult Divisions. These changes are necessary to comply with our NFAA charter and are not necessarily the wish of OBH, the executive committee or the tournement director. All of the tournament shooting Classes now conform to NFAA. If you have concerns and believe that changes need to be made with the NFAA Division shooting classes please direct these suggestions to officers, directors and councilmen of the NFAA not OBH. Link to NFAA website
