Easy way to help the club

As most of you are aware several businesses sponsored targets at the club, all the money raised is used for the benifit of us the member, hence the reason for this request. I realise that we don't all use their services every day and so do they, but if each member family bought 1 weeks supply of meat from the butcher who sponsored us or fuel or BBQ gas or fruit & veg from the servo. imagine how happy the business would be to support us again next year. Give it a try and let the business know you are from the club and have decided to give them a try because they supported the club you belong to.We changed our butcher to L-bo butcher for that reason and told him why we were there we enjoyed the meat and now he gets all our meat business. If we didn't like it we wouldn't have gone again. The side benefit from this and letting him know why were there is that he has indicated he will go again next year. So just give it a try with any sponsor that has a product you can use. But let them know why. If you don't like their product, price or service then don't back up for a second go.

Thanks for the help

Thank you

I really didn't get the time to say this over the weekend but I have a few minutes spare at the moment and I just wanted to thank everybody who contributed to the IFFA Range Brett, Garry & Dave worked hard for the benifit of us all, the old brigade filled bales, The girls painted, Alastair apologised to several tree branches as he introduced them to the chain saw Steve help drag bales around and many more members gave a hand. If I haven't named you please forgive me but the mind is old and feeble. Without all your efforts the club would still be IFFA less.

Thanks everybody.

IFAA 23/7/11

12 archers arrived to give our brand new IFFA range the once over. A few minor modifications may be needed but all in all everybody enjoyed the challenge. Due to our highly organised state we shot a mix of field, hunter & Animal faces from nearly the correct distances. It may be fair to say we we are not the best shots in Australia but we certainly were the best in Kempsey and probably set a world record for this particular mix of faces. Once again Teabag had to make Grandad's cuppa, he has done it so often he doesn't need to ask how he likes it. Real bummer that!

Scores for the day were Martin 251, Dave 233, Cec 217, Glenn 202, Josh 200, Garry 197, Neil 182, Ray 148, Gene 143, Gloria 133, Zac 65, Mike 46.

IFFA will probably be shot on the last weekend each month, ( not next weekend). A few members are travelling to Taree on Sunday the 30th to shoot 3D if you are interested make arrangements next Saturday.

Got to go know cheers to all

Coming weekend

Don't forget this weekend (all being well) will be our first IFAA shoot. Really looking forward to that. Darrin is looking for a team to go to 3D at Wingen, if you are interested see Darrin this Saturday for details. Gloria & I are interested. Also a few members are travelling to Taree to shoot 3D on Sunday.

ABABranch titles 16th&17th july

9 archers got leave passes to attend the branch titles & three archers brought back first place medals and a couple of second places well done MVA.

Steve Harris has found a sure fire method of shortening his draw length, simply use a high poundage bow for the weekend. Sure pushed his bow arm halfway across his body. Nobody wanted to shoot with Dave and his new bow, seems the creaking scares us mere mortals. The old fart brigade did real good Cec & Ray both won their sections with Teabag & Dryfire coming second in their classes. Freestyle unlimited flight 2 was our greatest achievement Darrin came 1st only 16 points lower than the highest adult score shot over the weekend in flight 1, Dave came 3rd.

Scores for the weekend Cec 1454 1st, Mike 1406 2nd, Gloria 1032 2nd, Steve 1438 5th, Brett 1456 4th, Darrin 1520 1st, David 1476 3rd, Glenn 1472 4th, Ray 1024 1st..

Sorry for the short report but I am way behind and only just got the computer back.

handicap Results 9/7/11

Hi intrepid reader sorry for the delay with this but my computer is having a melt down.

Scores are Ray 443.2, Darrin 416, Glenn 408.89, Garry 403.11, Mike 402.89, Steve 402.44, Sam 401, Brett 392.44, Alastair 389.33, Dave 385.56, Cec 368.22, Zac 346, Gloria 345.78.

Ray has had an amazing result, nice to see the old timers brigade holding their own. If only we could see what we are aiming at & the muscles didn't protest as loudly. I tried to pull a 60# bow back the other day & only succeeded in dislodging my sphincter muscle. No body volunteered to put it back either, that's friends for you.

9/7/11 ABA 3 arrow

Well that was an interesting day. You could throw a small rug over the entire field. Some good scores were shot and we had more new bows than children at the local kindy.

Dave gave his new PSE its first run Brett had baby Elite out in public for the second time & I think Garry had his new arrival with him, Cec moved back in time to his Elite which had been under the bed for the last 12 months. Actually Elites seem to be the bow of choice at the moment. Still no Karen, not sure if she had to work, still has the flu or Alastairs sabotage was more severe than first thought. Next weekend most of us will be at Taree for the Branch E titles. The IFAA range is only a tiny bit away from being finished, thanks everybody for all you have done. Brett, Garry & Dave have put in a lot of effort for our pleasure.

Top score for the day was Darrin whilst Zac shot a PB. Cec improved by a massive 18 points & Ray shot 340 with fingers & Barebow. Well Done.

Dave & Steve moved a few targets and distances around last week and both last weeks & this weeks scores reflect that the course may indeed be slightly more difficult.

Scores are Chef Darrin 382, Coins Alastair 374, BP Glenn, Homebrew Garry, Don't tie with me Brett & Tea Bag all scored 372, Don't mention me Steve 370, Feathers Dave 368, Grandad Cec 344, Fingers Ray 340, Fletcher Sam 326, Dryfire Gloria 266, Threepenny Zac 208PB.

2/7/11 ABA

Hi all. the results from yesterday are:- Martin Mcfly 392. May have been from the red pegs but I don't know, Sorry abut that, Feathers Dave 386, Coins Alastair 384, Don't mention me Steve 382 PB, Don't tie with me Brett ( new bow & all) 376, Chef Darrin 374, Home brew Garry 370, Scribe Neil 332, Grandad Cec 326, Fingers Ray 302.

Steve & Dave altered the course and as you can see it really helped their score. The less said about Grandad's score the better even if I have very sore ribs from Laughing. Thanks to all who turned up to the working bee. The IFFA range is not far from being usable. Just a quick note to Mrs Hodgman. Why do you need a new bow to shoot less than the score put up by the old bow. Over to you Brett.

Cheers Tea bag
