New Coloured ABA Targets 03/07/10

It didn’t look to good on Friday for the Saturday shoot, drizzle rain and very cool. But Saturday came as a clear Macleay winter day, warm and sunny. It’s been a while since the last write-up, sorry about that, but we’re all settled now. There’s been movement on the range with several members obtaining new tools of the trade (bows), Glenn, Martin, Mike, Tim and Nicholas all have updated their equipment. This week we had 18 keen archers at the range. We shot the Goanna Range using the new colour targets, it was very interesting with all twenty targets being a different animal or setting.
The scores were;
Men – Shane Fuit 384, Darrin Simonds 382, Brett Hodgeman 374, Glenn Freeman 374, Cec Apps 370, Josh Apps 366, Gary Ward 364, Neil Ussher 364, Mike Porter 342, Bruce Crumpton 328.
Ladies – Gloria Porter 240.
Juniors Boys – Jacob Fuit 388, Dion Ussher 376, Gene Shea 358, tim Hodgeman 348, Sam Harwood 322, Daniel Ward 318, Kale 304.
Once again, the young blokes are showing us oldies up, Jacob shot better than all the adults and at the same distance too. It boads well for the clubs future with such a talented young shooter coming through.
This week end coming is the Namoi Valley Archers Branch shoot. Many of our club will be traveling out to Gunnedah to brave the cold and fly our new club flag (thanks Mike and Gloria) in competition. We are all looking forward to the social atmosphere and comradery that comes with these gatherings. Will report on the results next week.
Some dates to put on the calendar, August 14-15 is the Manning District Bowhunters Taree ABA shoot and then August 21-22 is the State 3D titles at Wagga Wagga and September 25-26 is the IFAA Branch titles at Avon Valley, Gloucester and not to forget our 16-17 October, our own invitational shoot at Tamban.
