2 arrow eco shoot 24/8/13

Quiet day at the old ranch this weekend. Several regulars were away trying to earn a $ so they can buy more goodies and probably food. Once again the members were out numbered by newcomers who wanted to give it a try. Even a little 4 month old arrived, By the colour of the clothes I'm guessing a girl, cute as a button she was as well. As I have said before great family sport this archery. As regular readers will now 390 is considered a fantastic score, so much so that the branch give out a badge to celebrate this milestone achievement. This week Alastair scored 780 which is simply fantastic shooting. Enough banging on about the top guns, let's now turn our attention to young Teabag, Several milestones here to brag about. Firstly he actually finished. Secondly he won his cup of tea from Granddad and thirdly he finished ahead of cupcake some would say thrashed them both, but that may be a slight exaggeration which would come back to haunt him down the track, suffice to say he won. YA HOO!!!

Kathy Hodgeman alias Sneezy scoreda massive 606. This girl has the makings of another husband beater, so watch out Brett or you will join the illustrious "Husbands who get beaten by their wives club."   Scores for the weekend:
Coins Alastair 790, Don't tie with me Brett 768, In third place TEABAG 690, Granddad Cec 688, Cupcake Gloria 608, Sneezy Kathy 606, Grey Nomad Bruce 494 BB, Jonty 484.
Cheers All stay happy.

Eco shoot 17 August

With many archers attending an away shoot there were only three people that took part in the third round of the Eco Shoot last Saturday. It was still an eventful round with many arrows just cutting the scoring line or just missing it.  With each arrow counting to the total score, being on the wrong side of the line costs sixteen points straight away. The final round will be held on Saturday 24th August, starting at 1.30pm. 

 

Coaches Alastair and Karen Smedley provided training to four new archers in the morning. A warm welcome to new members Mark and Dylan Parmenter who joined the club at the weekend. 

Eco Shoot Scores (max 800): Karen Smedley 760, Alastair Smedley 760, Bruce Crawford 448.

See you all soon, and yes this is pinched from Karen.

Change of venue for branch IFAA titles

Hi All

                Due to circumstances beyond their control Tuggerah have had to with draw as the host of the September shoot. This shoot has now been relocated to AVON Valley. It is the same weekend. Many thanks go to the Avon members for filling the gap at such short notice. Please advise your members of the change.

2 arrow shoot 9/8/13

The second Eco Shoot saw scores fluctuate during the round.  One miss is expensive, loosing 16 points straight away. Visitor Ken Smith found this out, by just over-estimating the distance slightly on one target three quarters of the way round he put the arrow above the score zone, resulting in no score. Until that point he had been going really well, then everything changed.

 

Liam Crawford has been working hard with coach Alastair Smedley, and improved his score on last week by over 140 points. Well done Liam.

 

The third round will be held on Saturday 17 August, starting at 1.30pm. Visitors are welcome between 10.30am and 12 noon; and equipment will be available.

Eco Shoot Scores (max 800): Brett Hodgman 772, Karen Smedley 770, Alastair Smedley 764, Ken Smith 756, Glen Freeman 700, Liam Crawford 700, Cec Apps 698, Ray McManus 546.

 

Totally pinched from the Argus , Thanks Karen.

this coming weekend will see a group of die hard's head off to Gunnedah

International IFAA & Eco shoot 3/8/13

Hi all, Big day we just had very pleasant and lots of arrows. We also had the Dynamic duo join. 2 little 8 year old twins are our latest members. Good on you dad for letting them have a go. Only 1 rule they are not allowed to beat the Tubby old bald fellow. Welcome to the club. Whilst on all things new  Macleay Valley Archers is a shooting club with weekly competitions. As a shooting club our insurer places some requirements upon us re what we can and can't do. As a result all visitors who wish to shoot must be there before Noon. We have to be satisfied that you can indeed shoot, before allowing you on the ranges. Arriving after noon is not fair to the volunteers who do the assessments and those that make up the shoot groups.

A word of warning, if you have the choice, do not shoot with Kiss of Death. He is pleasant to shoot with but frightfully expensive to all with him. To give you an idea what to expect a brief run down of Saturday arvo. Target 3 Kiss of Death (KOD) for short loses one of his own arrows, last seen heading just to the left of the space station. Target 6 KOD stands next to cup cake her arrow falls off bow, Knock still attached to string, very gloomy look on face. KOD 2, arrows nil. Target 10 KOD stands near Tea bag, Tea bag breaks arrow. KOD 3, arrows nil. Target 14 KOD pulls arrows from Butt all's good so far hands arrows to Cup Cake and Tea Bag, still all's good. KOD hands 2 arrows to Glenn who takes them lovingly in his right hand, holding them at the fletches. KOD lets go and as we all watch one of Glenn's arrows adopts a right angle bend and hangs limply in his hand. KOD 4, arrows nil. Proof positive that nobody or no thing stands a chance against the destructive powers that manifest them selves around KOD.

The club had Ken Smith visit for the weekend. Ken broke the unwritten rule by winning the morning round. Tea Bag beat the wife in the morning but she thrashed him in the Arvo I think she shoot a PB. All in all I think the top performance for the Day belonged to Sneezy Kath.  who shot a 500 from the red peg. Not only was this a PB it was the first time from the red peg and only a few shoots from her very first effort. Really well done Kath. I should mention Brett's PB a massive 778 Well done to all.

Scores IFAA: Ken 134, Garry 130, Alastair 129, Karen 125, Brett 118, Teabag 116, Gloria 111, Liam 81, Bruce 58 BB.
