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.

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.

Archers of Warrnambool made history tonight, by running round 1 and round 2 of it’s very first indoor league. 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 Marshall Mott all made the 70 minutes journey to Allansford to help foster greater relationships with other archery clubs around the Western Victoria / SE Sth Australia region.

The Hammer was his usual consistent self with two rounds of 289. Daniel Baker, (265 & 272) and Dave Reid (263 & 270) made up the final two archers in the A grade division.

In B Grade, our own Jesse Sellens (compound) leads the way, closely followed by GHA’s Marshall Mott (compound) and Deb Jones (barebow recurve), with Doctor Charlotte (recurve) hot on their heels.

Special mention needs to be made of Paul, who tonight was shooting a bow for only the third time in his life. He accounted for himself well, posting 2 respectable scores given his level of experience. If he continues to improve at his current level, he will be a very competitive archer within a relatively short time. Well done Paul, keep at it mate, you’re doing well.

Scores for Round 1 and Round 2 of our Spring Indoor League are;

Round 3 and Round 4 are scheduled to be held at our indoor range at Duran Park, 200 Buckley’s Road, Allansford, with practice commencing at 6pm and first arrow at 8pm sharp . All are welcome and we hope to see you there!

The future of the club was on display today with a huge contingent of young archers at our Come and Try session today.

We had over 20 shooters all starting out or returning from last week. We had so many in fact that we almost ran out of bows! Of the 20 new shooters, only 3 were adults, with the remaining 17 all aged between 8 and 13 years old. Hopefully we can engage those young shooters enough to get hooked on archery and maybe then drag mum and dad  into the sport too. We certainly have plenty of father and son combinations at AoW as well as mums and daughters.
Everyone seemed to have a good time at our newly refurbished indoor range, and with super coach Mike Clark absent today, the coaching duties fell on the shoulders of Dave Reid to try to teach what he is unable to do himself. 😂😂😂 Dave couldn’t hit water if he was standing in the middle of a lake using a recurve bow, he’s absolutely hopeless. 
Having said that, the session went off without a hitch, no one was injured, and all stated that they would be back again next week.

So if you’re thinking about giving archery a go, come along to the Come and Try session next Saturday August 10 at the new starting time of 11am

Only a small turn out for Archers of Warnambool’s first Friday night shoot, a lead up to the club’s first Spring Indoor League starting on September 6th. Elliott was his usual consistent self, with two rounds in the high 280s, while Charlotte, shooting her first Australian Indoor Round, manage two PBs on the one night. Congratulations Charlotte, your improvement has been astounding! Mostly due to your great coach of course. 😆😉😆😎

Our next Indoor League shoot is August 17th and is a great opportunity to get in some extra practice before the League starts in September. Doors open at 6pm, Hope to see you there!

As a part of our commitment to provide the best possible value for your membership, we are excited to announce that our indoor league will commence in September!

Shooting will be the second and fourth Friday of every month with practice starting at 6pm at our newly refurbished indoor range, Duram Park, 200 Buckley’s rd, Allansford.
