Nine Archers this week and five on the practice range, not a bad turn-out for a very windy and dusty afternoon at Tamban. I don’t think you could tell if the arrows were flying straight or not, Josh shot the same tree 3 times! But there were some good scores posted.
The scores were;
Men – Alastair Smedley 392, Shane Fuit 384, Cec Apps 384, Brett Hodgeman 374, Josh Apps 352, Darrin Simmonds 354.
Ladies – No Ladies this week.
Juniors Boys –Jacob Fuit 388, Jordan Byrne 216, Michael 140.
Returning from a long break from archery, Lance Bryne and youngest son Lachlan eased back into the sport at the practice butts while the other few prepared their bows for next week’s State ABA meeting at Gloucester. If you’re going to go, let Club President, Cec, know, so we can nominate numbers. Contacts for archery are Cec Apps – 65627047 or Neil Ussher 65631148 for more details.

IFAA Northern NSW Branch Titles
3 archers made the trip to Avon for the Northern Branch IFAA. Tim, Brett & Alistair shot 2 rounds of Field on Saturday and 2 rounds of Hunter on Sunday. That's 56 targets & 224 arrows in beautiful hot weather. (Cec didn't go). Alistair made the mistake of shooting too well on Saturday. (over 500) This put him into Men's Freestyle Unlimited A Grade. He still shot well to come 3rd. Brett shot like his elbow had a hinge in it but still managed a 2nd place in Men's Bowhunter Unlimited B Grade. Tim shot well to win Jnr Boys Bowhunter Unlimited B Grade.
Avon has great facilities and and their ranges are nearly as good as ours so it's always a good weekend.
As a result of this weekend Brett & Alistair will be firing everyone up to get our own IFAA range going. It would be a real asset for the club. An occasional round of IFAA will soon show any faults in your form.

Avon/Manning/Macleay Tri Club Challenge 29th & 30th Aug 2009
The 3rd and final round of the Tri Club Challenge was held over the weekend of 29th & 30th August. 32 archers shot 3 round of ABA. Macley was the overall winner with an average score of 1352, Manning 2nd with 1277 and Avon 3rd on 1103.
It was a great weekend with the emphasis on having a good time and getting to know our neighbouring clubs. Our younger members got to shoot against other archers in a tournament like atmosphere and will now be keen to travel and compete at Branch, State and National Events.
The ranges again impressed most of the visitors and they were full of praise for the facilities as well.
Thanks to all the kitchen workers over the weekend and especially to Karen for all the work she put into preparation before the event.
The Tri Series will be happening again next year and all 3 clubs want to make it bigger and better.
