Today’s shoot was held indoors as SWDRA 🤬 were holding a shoot of their own and that denied us access to our grounds.
We had lot of new people at our Come and Try, this is proving to be very popular over the summer months.

The big news from Saturday is that we had another Robin Hood. The second one in two weeks! This time it was the super coach, Mike Clark, who hit his own arrow dead center. Oops, thats another dead arrow Mike and by the look on Mike’s face I think he realises that. He’s also not happy because his Robin Hood only scored an eight. 😂Ha😂 ha😂 ha😂, better luck next time Mike

Just a reminder to everybody that membership fees are now due. Please contact Mike Clark for details. Any current member who does not renew their membership by 28 February 2019, will be required to pay the $50 new member charge which is to be mandatory for all late renews. So please make sure you get your membership paid in a timely manner. your fees are what helps to sustain the club. Thanks.

Also remember our Indoor club shoot is on every Tuesday night, with a new indoor WA18M competition to start soon.

It was a great turnout again for our shoot tonight.
Everyone chose to shoot outdoors as it was such a beautiful night, with new members Gerry and Melissa both shooting well with the club’s recurve bows. Gerry at 20 metres was particularly accurate, so just look out next week when he comes to shoot with his new bow! Melissa continued to improve after a couple of coaching tips from Dave Reid, and Jess Reid was as reliable and as accurate as ever.

Jesse Sellens (Hoyt Compound) and Dave Reid (Mathews MR8 Monster) were sharing a target at 50 metres when Jesse scored a ten after he shot a Robin Hood into one of Dave’s new CXL Tank 23s. Well, that’s when the trash talk started with both Dave and Jesse dishing it out. Naturally it was all in fun, but it was very entertaining to watch. It’s that sort of friendly, good natured rivalry that unconsciously pushes people to improve.

Jesse has a great future, both as an archer and as a sledging advisor for the Australian Cricket Team 😂🤣😂😁

Our next club shoot is at our ground, The Lake Gillear Target Sports Complex, 200 Buckley Road, Allansford, Come along and join in the sledging!!

We had a 26 people at our come and try session today, and have picked up new members as a result. Well done to our super coach, Mike Clarke for his work teaching the beginners, many of whom were regularly shooting gold by the end of the session.

Don’t forget everybody, we are back at our ground, The Warrnambool Shooting Complex, 200 Buckley Rd Allansford, effective Tuesday 8th January. It’s been a long, hard and sometimes bitter battle, but finally goodness has triumphed over nastiness. Thanks to Mike, James and Don for all their hard work.
