ABA State Titles 3/1009 Results

Macleay Valley Archers once again showed their true colours at the ABA State Titles in Gloucester on the week end. Of the 10 archer’s who represented the Valley, 6 were successful in gaining places on the podium. Though the weather was fowl, 121 archers, from all over, nominated to compete in the challenging conditions. Even the ABA cardboard targets sagged under the relentless precipitation.
Club president, Cec Apps scored a Silver (2nd) place in the Freestyle Unlimited flight 2.
Shane Fuit conquered all to take 1st place in the Bowhunter Unlimited Flight 1.
Brett Hodgman placed 3rd in Bowhunter Unlimited Flight 2. Alastair Smedley, 3rd place, Freestyle Unlimited Flight 1. Dion Ussher Junior Bowhunter Unlimited Flight 1 champion,
Jacob Fuit Silver in the Junior Freestyle Unlimited flight 1.

Our dueling juniors Jacob and Dion recorded some of their best scores to date. Both scoring in the 380’s and 390’s while Jacob posted a tournament equaling best score of 398 out of 400. Jacob was almost assured of a first place until his release aid failed to release half way through the last round of the weekend, robbing him of that 1st place in his division.
Back to club archery for a few weeks and then were off again to Avon Valley Archers for the Avon Team Challenge, where teams of 3 archers compete shooting 3D targets. We are hoping to send 4 teams away, who, no doubt, will have a great time and bring home the bacon, so to speak.
If you would like to attend, please let Cec Apps know for nomination purposes.
