Archers of Warrnambool hosted round 3 and round 4 of it’s first indoor league Friday 27/9. Comprising 2 rounds of 30 arrows, Australian Indoor 18m, 12 archers took part in the first of many events at this ever strengthening club.
Nine local members were joined by 3 hardy shooters from Greater Hamilton Archery. Brendan and Deb Jones and Peter Hennig all made the 70 minute journey to Allansford to help foster greater relationships with other archery clubs around the Western Victoria / SE Sth Australia region.
GHA again lived up to their reputation as one of the strongest clubs in the region by posting competitive scores in all three divisions.
Elliot “the Hammer” Riley was the standout archer on the night, posting scores of 293 and 292, with GHA’s Brendan Jones a very close second.
Brendan shot 285 in round 3 and a 292 in round 4, just taking the round 4 points from the Hammer on count back (15 Xs to 7). Daniel Baker, (264 & 276) and Dave Reid (267 & 262) made up the final two archers in the A grade division.
In B Grade, AoW’s Jesse Sellens (compound) continues to lead the way, closely followed by Deb Jones (barebow recurve), with Doctor Charlotte (recurve) and GHAs Peter Hennig (barebow recurve) hot on their heels.
In front in the C Grade division is Chelsea Theobald-Daly shooting her Hoyt hunting bow with Denise and Gerry with their sighted recurves making up second and third place respectively and Paul Ryan in fourth with his barebow recurve. Peter Russell joined the competition
but was only able to shoot round 3 and currently has 4 points to his name
A big thanks must go out to the members of Greater Hamilton Archers who each week make the 70 minute drive to shoot in our comp.
