Traditional Archers of New Jersey On Saturday October 8, 2011 my family and I attended an event for wounded military warriors that was held at Central Jersey Rifle Pistol Cub Jackson, New Jersey.. The Traditional Archers of New Jersey sponsored the archery exhibit and worked with each individual during that long hot day. I would like to send a special thanks to Tom Robinson who mentored my son Elijah through approximately 3 hours and 100 arrows (plus numerous trips down range to retrieve the arrows) on Saturday. The devotion and compassion that Tom and Doc DeCaro showed to all the soldiers and their families will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Master Sergeant Vera Bland Wounded Warrior United States Army |

Dear Mr. DeCaro; On behalf of the North Jersey Navigators and the Wa-Xo-Be Archers we would like to extend a very warm thank you to the Traditional Archers of NJ (TANJ)for their generosity in supporting our organization again and for your donation of the Pacific Bow Super Target Butt and a dozen GreatTree Archery Deluxe Aluminum Bow stands from your T.A.N.J Al Reader "Archery for our Youth Program". This Target Butt and the Bow stands will be now be used during our "Adaptive Archery" Program for children with disabilities run by Wa-Xo-Be Archers. We also appreciate your time with the kids every Saturday and they value your advise. The North Jersey Navigators is a non-profit organization and our mission is to develop, implement and coordinate special programs to help children with disabilities increase their mobility skills competencies, social skills, self-esteem, and activity levels; as well as; to inspire children with disabilities to achieve an increased participation in all physical activities. Our program is comprised of a wide range of recreational and adaptive sports that have been specially designed to develop and enhance the mobility skills and athletic skills of children with disabilities. Our goal is to continue to excel in Archery as we have done in other adaptive sports; a be able to compete in archery events at International level representing the USA. As a result of our excellent performance, over the past three years several athletes and members of the coaching staff from the Navigators have been selected as members of the Jr. USA Teams that participated at the 2008 and 2009 IWAS Junior World Championships that took place in New Jersey and Switzerland; respectively. The performance of the three Navigators' athletes representing the US competing in track and field events at the IWAS Junior World Championships in Switzerland was outstanding and they netted a total of 11 medals (7 Gold, 3 Silver, and 1 Bronze); and one of the athletes broke the 100 meters junior world record in his class (T52 - Under 16 years-old). Last Year five members of the Navigators participated in the 2010 Junior USA Team at IWAS Junior World Championships in Czech Republic; August 20-29, 2010. Thank you for your continued support and for allowing us to continue to expand our program to more eligible children with disabilities from the states of New Jersey and New York.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Hospice Visiting Nurse Services of Staten Island, NY Prayers and sincere condolences to Doc and all his family. A Time of Support and Need A message from Tom Robinson, TANJ Shoot Coordinator ... "Guys this is where the rubber meets the road - we need someone to step up and FILL Doc's shoes for a shoot, OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO CANCEL KNOCK A BLOCK on September 17th. Doc normally runs the shoot, but due to his need of a surgical procedure for his heart, and family crisis (his loving Mother's death) he's unable to run the Knock a Block event. I would run it BUT I'm already running the TANJ booth and kids shoot at the NJ state EXPO at Colliers Mills on September 17th & 18th. We need someone to contact Paul Wins Black Knights Bow Benders president and I if you can help. Doc has done so much for others NOW IS THE TIME TO SAY THANK YOU AND SHOW HIM WE CAN STEP UP TO THE PLATE and make him proud!! Paul Wins can be reached at Black Knight Bow Benders - www.blackknightbowbenders.com - or e-mail crkd_arrow@juno.com Our President is out of action for a little while, so I need to ask and see if anyone can help with running the TANJ booth and kids range on either day (9/17 or 9/18). We will be show casing TRADITIONAL ARCHERY SKILLS making fletching from feathers, cresting, bow string making and having a small kids trad archery range with dinosaur targets. We want to show what makes traditional archery different from those other weapons, that it is an ART form and that the journey is as important as the result (yes I know that the 9/17 date is the same day as Knock a block). PLEASE! If you want to help, contact me ... Email - Bldtrailer@aol.comBldtrailer@aol.com Phone -  Thank you, Tom Robinson"  As you can see, TANJ Shoot Coordinator Tom Robinson had some time on his hands and filled my deck and garage with 3 D kids targets! ! Doc.
Ron (from KME Sharpener) bested a tough field of archers at the 2011 Denton Hill Eagle Eye shoot to come out on top! Congrats Ron!   And congrats to Ron's son, Ethan, for qualifying for the kid's Eagle Eye shootout - way to go!!!  UBNJ/TANJ Pics from 3D Monday 6/16/11 at BKB
