The next round of the club championship is Saturday 27th June at 1pm.
Following on from the State Government’s easing of COVID-19 restrictions taking effect on 1 June, this has also meant that we have now been cleared by Archery Victoria and Warrnambool City Council to have 20 people shooting at the Club at any one time PLUS other additional people as necessary for the safe operation of the Club, such as Committee members, maintenance and grounds people etc.
So whilst we are able to have additional members shooting at the Club, there is very little else that has changed. There are now additional targets set out on the target range, you are still limited to 1 person per target (2 people can shoot in the same target as long as the cohabitate in the same household). We are able to do this as our shooting lanes are wide enough to still practice social distancing.
Members : Please check your emails for full details, but a few important points to note :
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate in contacting any of your Committee members.
On behalf of your Committee – happy shooting everyone !

The final rounds of the Archers of Warrnambool Summer Indoor league was held at the indoor range at Duram Park, Friday 28/2/2020
Even though Elliot Riley was unavailable to shoot, he still had enough points accumulated to win the A grade division on a count back from Club Captain Dave Reid, Both shooters were on 76 points at the end of the final round, however “Splinter” Riley finished with an average of 288, easily accounting for Reid.
B Grade was taken out by Alex Nesic on 80 points, an easy win for Lex as he was the only shooter in the B grade division. 😉😎😀
The C grade division was a closely fought contest that saw many archers shoot multiple personal bests. Chris Densley was particularly impressive, improving his PB by over 100 points over the course of the competition. It wasn’t enough however to overtake Denise Burrell who went into the final rounds with an unassailable lead.
Burrell, shooting her sighted recurve bow was the highest scorer across all divisions.
Special mention must be made of young cub, Kai Van Kempton, who made great progress shooting his new compound bow and took out the junior division.
Congratulations to all shooters who competed in the Summer league. The Autumn Indoor League starts on Friday March 13 and all members of AA, ABA or 3DAAA are welcome to join in this great comp.
