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 hold two shows a year. We are moving our shows around some now, hoping to build attendance. Check here for the latest locations. Our shows are non-commercial (no buying or selling of artifacts, although books and frames and such are OK). We are 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 a year, which covers the cost of our mailouts. We raise additional funds by selling barbecue at our spring meeting - this pays for the trophies that we give out for the best finds of the year. 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 Club Secretary, Kenneth Bush, at 903-346-3345 (he don't do E-mail yet!)

REPORT ON THE LAST FALL MEETING OF SHOT!! We met up at the Roxton ISD on the last Saturday in October and turnout was dismal. There were only about 25 people that showed up, and only five collections were represented. As the show broke up, we held a hasty business meeting and determined two things - one, to relocate the show to a more central and accessible location, and two, to cut back to one show a year. Our spring meeting will be held every year on or near the last Saturday of April from now henceforth. Try to make it if you can.
