Team Geek with their trophy after winning the Junior Sighted Division and beating the Senior Sighted team in a shoot off. This weekend the Macleay Valley Archers traveled to Gloucester to take part in the inaugural Avon Invitational 3D Teams Challenge. Despite the forecast of wet weather the Avon Valley Archers turned on a great week end to host the challenge. Teams of 3 archers competed against other teams to qualify for the “shoot out” on Sunday morning. There were 21 teams of various shooting styles all vying to shoot on Sunday. All of the Macleay Valley teams qualified for the shoot out. Although Team 2, Glenn Freeman, Neil Ussher and James (a ring in from Taree) were knocked out in the first round, Team 1, Cec Apps, Shane Fuit and Brett Hodgeman scored a respectful 52 points from 60, but were piped by Avon who scored the match winning 54 points.
Our junior boys, Jacob Fuit, Tim Hodgman and Dion Ussher showed all how to shoot by having the highest score on Saturday with 2300 pts from the 2400 available. Needless to say, they blitzed the shoot out on Sunday to win their division. They also won the overall Best Team by defeating the winning senior’s team in a Best of the Best Match.
Another highlight of the week end was Shane Fuit’s perfect score on Saturday morning of 400 out of 400, that’s a couple of perfect scores this year.
There is talk by some that the mystical "Glasses Of Wisdom" worn by our boys were in fact some sort of range finding device. If this proves to be true the club plans to copyright and market them.
