Let all members of the White River Bowhunters know that the following guidelines are set down by the members each year
in March, to insure that each and every member will be provided with the most complete, safe, prosperous and organized
club possible.

These guidelines are not to conflict with our Constitution and By-Laws.  These guidelines allow us to run our organization
more efficiently, without having to constantly amend  our By-Laws.  (Note- often when amending our By-Laws they have
to be changed thru the state and must always by done with the aid of the club’s lawyer)

These guidelines will be reviewed each year and the membership will add, delete or change them as they feel necessary. 
No changes may be made unless all members are notified by mail prior to such meeting held for this purpose.

1    Any individual wishing to become a member must attend a monthly meeting to sign up and be approved by the
Advisory Board.  A Advisory Board meeting, for this purpose will be held after the regular meeting each month.
NEW MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE UNTIL NEXT MEETING.  The Advisory Board may
may make allowance for a applicant who cannot attend a meeting.

2    There will be no firearms discharged on the club grounds at any time unless during a sanctioned event. 

3    There will be no vehicles allowed on the wooded portion of the range unless it is in performance of range maintenance. 

4        Club members with a working membership must work one scheduled club shoot or work party.
Assist during the classic shoot.  The Shoot Chairman will assign workers, where needed.

a key to said lock when their dues are paid up to date.  $l.00 will be charged, if a member does not have the previous
year’s gate key to exchange.  All club keys will be stored in the furnace room and keys to this area will be issued on a
as needed basis, authorized by the club president.

6    Broad-head type points will not be used on the practice range except on authorized targets.  At no time will
broad-heads be shot into the indoor bales at the clubhouse.

or a majority of the Advisory Board.  Any member doing so will do so at their own risk and cannot expect restitution
from the club.

8    No alterations to the club facilities will be made without proper authorization from the membership, or a majority
of the Advisory Board.

9   During scheduled work parties all ranges will be closed for practice.  This is to insure safety and help maintain
morale among workers.

suffer loss of membership.

11  No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the shooting ranges during a sanctioned shoot.  The Advisory Board

Add $5.00 per hour with heat.

14  Use of club facilities will be handled on a individual basis.  Scheduling will be done by the President and
Recording Secretary.  Scheduling should be done 45 days in advance and requires a club member to be responsible. 

15    All price and quantity of trophies will be decided on by the membership. ( or by the majority of the Advisory
Board in an emergency)

16  Scheduling of all shoots will be done by the Advisory Board and approved by the membership at a regular
monthly meeting.

spouse.  Anyone hearing of a death in a club members family should notify the club president or secretary.

18  Individuals using the club facilities who are not members should be approached and ask to join the club.  Any
individual who continues to use the club facilities without joining should be referred to the Advisory Board.  The Advisory
Board will notify this individual  they are not to use the facilities any further unless they join the club.  Any violation of the
Advisory Boards instructions will be dealt with thru legal channels, and the individual will be notified of the clubs intention.

19 All individuals using any club owned equipment (tractor, chain saws, O.R.V.’s, mowers, etc) will read and abide by
