A FRATERNAL CLUB FOR TEXAS ARROWHEAD HUNTERS
Founded in 1989 by four collectors - "born on the tailgate of Kenneth Bush's pickup," as we like to say - SHOT has been a part of the North Texas collecting landscape for a good while now.
We recently decided to go to only one show a year, since the fall show was declining in attendance.  For the moment, we have setled on a location in Greenville, TX - the Family Life Center of Crossroads Church, at the intersection of I-30 and US 69.   To boost attendance and participation, in 2004, the members voted to allow buying and selling of artifacts at our shows.  Since then, a number of well-known dealers, including Bill German, Bob Miller, and Winston Ellison, have begun attending.   We are still firm believers in strong cooperation with the professional archeological community as well as with the broader collecting community, and have had several professional archeologists attend our club meetings in the past. Gary Fogelman, publisher of Indian Artifact Magazine (see links page) has also been our guest a couple of times, and has kindly published many of our meeting's photographs in his magazine. We publish a bimonthly newsletter for our members as well. Dues to join the club are $10 a year, which covers the cost of our mailouts, andleaves us a little extra to buy our "Best Finds" trophies.  We raise additional funds  from table fees and by selling barbecue at our spring meeting - this pays for the trophies that we give out for the best finds of the year and the cost of the building rental.
We usually run anywhere from 30 to 60 collections at each show. We'd love to have you join us. For more info on SHOT, E-mail me, or call our new Club Secretary, Raymond Gathright, at 903-274-7075.  His Email is rgathright@leo.tamu-commerce.edu
