IFAa & ABA 22/6/13

Hi all, what an awful day. Gale-force winds, snow followed by sleet and rain, the sky was so dark you needed a torch just to move around. The creek was in full flow and we actually lost 3 seniors down the raging river sized creek, trees were knocked over and all of the ranges were totally destroyed. The club house was last seen crashing into a large gum tree, smashing into bits and slowly sinking below the murky waters. Those that were there will realise that non of that is exactly true but week after week I say how fantastic the day was and it is getting to the point that nobody will believe me so I thought I would change the mental image.
The toilets are getting closer to completion, which is something I for one really appreciate after all I only have a limited holding capacity


8 members took advantage of the morning International IFAA round 10 targets , 3 arrows per target max. score 150. This is the first time I have shot this range and it would be one of the best IFAA ranges in the country. Well done to all involved a really top effort and one the club should be truly proud off. Scores.
Coins Alastair 135. Cola Karen 131, Don't tie with me Brett 125, BC Liam 122, Home Brew Garry 121, Cupcake Gloria 115, Tea bag 98, Leach bait Bruce 16.
I would like to thank my good mate Bruce for making sure I didn't come last. Thanks Bruce. Liam passed on a classic bit of advice to his Dad, It went something like this, " I focused the sight really hard and then gently squeezed of the trigger," Trouble is Dad doesn't have a sight or a trigger. Never mind I enjoyed the advice.
Afternoon 3 Arrow scores:
Coins Alastair 390, Don't tie with me Brett 386, Granddad Cec and Home brew Garry 376,Cupcake Gloria 368, Martin Mc Fly 364, BC Liam 360, Cola Karen 358, Fingers Ray 352 BB, BP Glenn 350, Hitchhiker Dion 338, Kiss of Death Stewart 326, Leach Bait Bruce 308 BB, Jonty 222 BB, Teabag 188.
Finally the adjusted series results, I can't for the life of me remember what Alastair calls it.

ABA 1 arrow and AGM 15/6/13

Hi all, well the AGM has come & gone. Only a few small things have changed so be sure to read the minutes when you get them.
If I have this right there will be a working "B" next Sunday . On Saturday the 22 starting at 10.30am we will be offering the IFAA international round. Very formal way of saying be there at 10.30 and shoot lots of arrows.
This weekend was a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. The weather was beautiful some scores were normal some were disappointing, nobody really burnt up the range. I shot with Karen & Gloria and I must say I had a great time. It took me a little while to get in touch with my feminine side, but once I did the afternoon was pure joy. Thanks Girls.
Scores for the day are: wait for it........Now.
Don't tie with me Brett 388, Coins Alastair 384, Cola Karen 376, BC Liam 374, Granddad Cec & Crusty Chris 362, BP Glenn 348, Teabag 316, Cupcake Gloria 306, Fingers Ray 282, SWR Stewart 276, Nic 242, Liam K 186 PB, Leach Bait Bruce 134 PW
Nearly forgot the boys asked me to remind BC Liam to toughen up and take the long shots, so there.
Cheers All Take care

ABA 3 arrow 8/6/13

Sorry this is late but we only just got back from Qld. Still better late than never.

Oh how fortunes ebb and flow with this game of archery. Only Cec Apps and Garry Ward shot a better result than last week, and only two shooters managed a clean round (that is only needing one arrow per target). First place was elusive for Karen Smedley for the third week in a row, this time beaten by husband Alastair.

 

All current members are invited to the AGM which will be held this Saturday 15th June 2013.

Scores (max 400): Alastair Smedley 380, Karen Smedley 376, Garry Ward 376, Cec Apps 372, Glenn Freeman 372, Liam Crawford 368, Chris Garrett 368,  Ray McManus 342, Stewart Benington 324.

 

DON'T FORGET THE AGM THIS SATURDAY.

Cheers Teabag
