Working Bee, Meeting & IFAA 25/10/14

               We got a few jobs done on Saturday morning in preparation for our shoot on the 29th of November. Before the shoot we had a quick meeting to discuss arrangement for hosting the Branch E Christmas Shoot. Everything is in hand and we have our next club meeting on the 15/11/14 followed the next week with a working bee on 22/11/14. We only had a small field of starts to shoot 14 targets of IFAA field . Scores are out of 280 and at marked distances out to 80 yards shooting 56 arrows. Dan 2 has joined the longbow crew with a newly purchased longbow and spent the afternoon building character. The weather was pretty hot and it was a baptism of fire for those who hadn't shot a round of IFAA before.

Scores were

Steve            Freestyle Unlimited       109
Jayden          Bowhunter Unlimited    161
Dan              Longbow                          42
Vera             Bowhunter Unlimited     165

Alex             Recurve Barebow             55
Kathy           Bowhunter Unlimited     218
Brett             Bowhunter Unlimited     245
Vince            Bowhunter Unlimited     162 

Next week we will be shooting ABA again and  a few members are travelling to Inverell for the Branch E Indoor titles.

ABA 3 Arrow 18/10/14

           A great day was had by all as we shot the Goanna Range in perfect conditions. Of the 18 archers we had 3 recurves and 2 long bows. Some impressive scores were shot with Stuart shooting a very respectable 232 with Dan's longbow. Dan managed to tie with Alex on 286, both with recurves. Dan has bought another bow. Bets are on to see what he turns up with next week.
          Gary gave everyone a lesson with an impressive 392 Freestyle Unlimited. Great shooting.
But...undoubtedly the happiest archer of the day was Kathy with a massive PB of 384 a huge effort. Apparently her husband shoots too and to her great excitement he only scored 382.

            Next weekend we are having a working bee Saturday morning from 9:00 for those that can make it to sort out the new container and do a little cleaning up before our branch shoot at 29th & 30th November. We will also have a short meeting to discuss details for that weekend. We will be shooting 14 Targets of IFAA in the afternoon.
