What a great day for archery today! When we arrived at the range, there wasn’t a breath of wind and the sun was shining.
Unfortunately, not very many members were at the club to enjoy the fabulous conditions, however those that did turn up made the most of the glorious weather.
Club regulars, Jess and Dave Reid shot at 50M at one of the new outdoor targets, while new comers to the club, Vikki and her son Taj made the most of the calm day at shot at 20M.
Super Coach Mike Clark was kept busy most of the day on the indoor range, schooling the
beginners at the Come & Try Session in the fine art of recurve technique.
We had around 10 novices again this week, all taking advantage of the 3 free sessions we provide to introduce them to our great sport. One new comer, Sam, did particularly well, qualifying to advance from 10M to 20M after only a few ends. Congratulations Sam, I hope to see you back next week!
Dave Reid even crossed over from the dark side, finding one of the left hand club bows and shooting a few ends with the recurve. As usual when it comes to barebow recurve, Dave couldn’t hit water even if he was standing in a lake. At least he didn’t break any arrows this time. Good on ya Dave, but mate, better for every one if you stick with your Mathews MR8 compound bow.
Don’t Forget:
Our Come & Try Session will be running again next Saturday between 11am and 12:30pm. If you’ve ever wanted to try archery, this is a great introduction to the sport. All equipment is supplied and there is absolutely no cost to come along to your first 3 sessions. After that, you are under no obligation to continue, however we’d love to have you as a regular member.
