Working Bee & ABA Shoot Saturday 30th

Last Saturday we had our monthly meeting. It was too wet again to shoot. We are hoping it will clear up this weekend as we will be having a working bee on Saturday from 9:00. We will still be shooting in the afternoon as long as it stops raining.

Club Meeting and BBQ on 23rd August

            Well ... not much to report from last week due to the wet miserable weather. Those who turned up did not go far from the fire and shot a few indoor arrows. Except for a 3 crazy souls who ventured out but it too wet to score. They must have been long bowers.
           Next Saturday 23rd August we will be having a club meeting after the regular shoot at around 4:30. All members are encouraged to attend and have a say. There will also be a BBQ and salad available after the meeting for anyone interested. A good chance to socialise after the meeting.
        

ABA Shoot 09/08/14 New Fireplace and Long Bows Galore

        Well Saturday saw a beautiful sunny hot day. Just perfect to make use of our new fireplace in our covered area. Thank you Dave & Felicity for the donation.
In honour of the wood we will burn in the new fire place every where you look there were long bows.
5 in all. It's great to see everyone enjoying the skill of the longbow. I might have to invest in one myself.
       On one short group 2 target at about 14 metres both long bowers I shot with got an A to my B. So much for technology. Well done Tim & Gordon. Even Dan shot his longbow in practice and has committed to shooting it on the range after the next shoot at Taree.

Glenn moved a few targets around this week and we shot a 3 arrow round on the Anthill. Notable scores were Dan 388 (again) Tim 274 longbow off the green peg. Great shooting. But he still wasn't happy. Justin shot a PB 324. Just wait till we sort his draw length out. Leah shot 230 and Robyn shot 240. Both off the yellow peg. I can see there might be a bit healthy of rivalry developing here.

     Don't forget we will be having a club meeting on 23/08/14 after the shoot and the rumour is there will be food....Stay Tuned.

ABA shoot 02/08/14 & 3D shoot at Singleton

       Cec, Glenn, Gloria & Mike all travelled down the SAS (Singleton Archery Society) Branch 3D shoot and all had a great time. The 3D shoots use life size "rubber" targets at distances from 20 metres out to 48 metres. The scoring zones on these targets are smaller than on our usual paper targets and are a very different challenge.
      Those that turned up at Tamban shot a 3 arrow ABA round on the Anthill range. Dan again shot well with a 388 and
