Anna Nelson

She likes to bake, go camping, make stained glass items, and of course shoot her bow. She isn’t a hunter of furry animals but does enjoy killing balloons. They are less messy but are not as tasty & are pretty chewy. 

DALLIN WADDOUPS
Publicity

Dallin is an Idaho native and enjoys competitive archery but his true passion is bowhunting. He is an avid outdoorsman and can usually be found somewhere in the backcountry of Idaho.

ED ANDERSON
Past President

My wife comments as to why I always seem to kill on the last day of my hunt. After thinking about it, it always is the last day. Have not filled a Sasquatch tag in 23 years of hunting in Idaho but have come close to smelling like one almost every year! A properly adjusted Fall Restraint Device used in a treestand will allow for hours of uninterrupted sleep and a great view of the backside of a deer or an elk.

JOE SEAMONS
Outdoor Range Director

Joe started shooting archery when, in 1968 his parents invested their tax refund and purchased him his first recurve bow, a 45 # Damon Howatt. Except for a couple of years where he strayed to the dark side, Joe has shot traditional equipment all his life. He loves the beauty and elegance of the wooden recurve and it has truly become his drug of choice. Joe joined the Blackfoot River Bowmen in 1978 just after the club moved to the present location near the Snake River and has been a member since.
