Board of Directors

President: Gary Dickey, Jr.

"I’ve been a member for over 10 years. I’ve been serving as the Southeast Director and attending almost all of the shoots. I also look for new shoots in our area. My day job for over 21 years is Deputy in the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department. I must thank Mike and Sue Shaw who mentored me in traditional archery. They taught me how to build wood arrows, tune equipment, and many other skills a traditional archer should know. Learning those skills really opened my world. I started exploring woodsmanship and have learned a bunch of skills that were the foundations of frontier knowledge. I also took up flintlock shooting
and canvas camping. I really want to see this organization continue to be a vital

part of traditional archery in Pennsylvania. It would be an honor to serve you and the PA Longbow Association".

Vice President: Jeff Stahler

 "I am a long-time resident of West Penn Township in Schuylkill County Pennsylvania. I am the owner and operator of Stahler Woodworking, a specialty carpentry business since 1995. I have a passion for traditional archery that has grown since childhood. I got my first bow when I was eight years old and I learned
to love hunting from my father and uncles.

I became a member of the West Penn Archery Club in 1981. Together a group of close friends started the traditional archery program at West Penn. It has grown greatly over the past decade. We look forward to hosting the Pennsylvania Long Bow Traditional Championship shoot each July. It would be an honor to serve as the Vice President of the Pennsylvania Long Bow Association. My goals would include growing the number of members and events to bring people together

to enjoy traditional archery as much as I do".

Membership Secretary: Elsa Zumstein

 "For years I have reaped the benefits of those who conceived, organized, and grew PLA to what it is today. Being Membership Secretary will allow me to help the organization. I’m interested in all thing’s archery, but I have more fun with traditional archery. Someone at a shoot mentioned they saw me actually shooting my bow. They didn’t say anything about me hitting the target. I have been involved at Cloverleaf Archery with maintaining the equipment for the Kids’ Shoots.I also became an instructor so that I could help more kids get into this great sport.
