Visit From Bellingen Archers

        We had the pleasure of hosting a visit from Bellingen Archers on the weekend. Bellingen is a target based club and they took the opportunity to try out some IFAA and ABA field archery. Everyone appeared to have a great day with a lot of fun had by all. It was a social shoot with the emphasis on trying out the new format and having the chance to mix with other archers.
        On Saturday morning we shot an International Round on the IFAA range. That involves 10 targets with 3 arrows per target out of 150 total. Scores were quite good with many positive comments about our new IFAA range.

Score for the morning were

    MVA                                 Bello'
Bruce     138                Grahame        84
Brett       115                 Mark          100
Dan         137                Riley          111
Al           126                Darren        120
Garry      119                Karl              30
                                      Mell           108
                                     Fernando      18

     After a lovely lunch of steak sandwich we had the choice of shooting a round of ABA (out of 400) on the Goanna Range or a full 14 target round of IFAA Field, (out of 280), on the Yowie range.
Our visitors seemed to love the challenge of field archery and went away at the end of the day discussing what they could do at their club to provide a field range.

Scores for the afternoon were,

     ABA

      MVA                   Bello'
Cec          368          Mark       284
Jarrah       196         Darren     334
Chris        346         Grahame  318
Tim         DNF        Riley        322
Harry       164          Karl         168
Gloria       290

Bruce    254
Al          261
Glen      202
Garry    249
Brett     228

      Next week we have 11 Archer travelling to the Manning for a Branch E ABA shoot. So there will only be limited numbers at the club next weekend, so any beginners may wish to put it off to the following weekend.
