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.

The indoor league will start at 8pm sharp and will comprise either 1 or 2 loosely interpreted 😂😂😂(❁´◡`❁) Australian 18m Rounds (depending on time constraints) and scores will be based on a handicap and division system.

What a shocker of a day! Gale force winds and constant rain forced everybody inside to shoot on the indoor range today. Over 25 shooters were there to celebrate International Mud Day, with Jess Reid shooting a perfect 60 on her return from semi-retirement.

Beth Medwin had a mixed day on her first outing with her new recurve but still managed to out score her dad…. again. 😎 Her brother Elijah was the big improver on the day tho. After getting some one on one coaching his groups got continually smaller throughout the day.
Both Chelsea and  Elliott were their usual accurate selves and Gerry Mahony shot a PB on the last round for the day. In the last week we have seen PBs from Chelsea, Eli, Beth, Michael, Elliott and Dave!

Keep practicing guys, it’s really starting to pay off as we all get ready for the new indoor league next month.

Don’t forget our indoor twilight shoot for all financial members next Tuesday night, the range opens at 5pm, hope to see you there.

What a great day at the club today! We had so many at our come and try session that we were running short on bows.
New member Alex, who recently graduated to 20m, brought along a compatriot Tom who after only 3 ends at 10m was sent straight on to the 20m targets. He took to archery like a duck to water!

Judy and Charlotte were also very consistent, both shooting for the first time and both regularly finding the centre of the target. A miracle really, given that super-coach Mike Clark was away and the coaching was left to die hard compound shooter Dave Reid. 😂😃🤣

Bethany continued her good form, with her dad Michael the big improver, finally getting comfortable shooting with a sight. He put together some of the best groups of the day, so look out Beth, he’s not far behind you now.

Elliott, Gerry and Kane were their usual consistent selves, braving the elements on the 90m range before the persistent rain drove them inside where it appeared that Dave was finally over his target panic, shooting a 291 on the 20cm vertical indoor target face.

Don’t forget our indoor twilight shoot for all financial members next Tuesday night, the range opens at 5pm, hope to see you there.

A really good turn out tonight, despite the cold weather.

Gerry was in fine form again with his Samick Sage, as was Bethany, who tried to follow up her Personal Best from last week but just fell short. She still shot well enough to beat the pants off her dad… again. C’mon Michael, you need to put in more practice mate. HAHA

Dave seems to have finally overcome his Target Panic posting a 287 on the indoor vertical traffic lights. It’s his best indoor score since returning to archery after a 15 year lay off. Hopefully a 300 is just around the corner, although he is having some issues with his arrow rest. It looks like he’ll be off to see Marcus at Urban Archery soon to get a new rest. He’s got his eye (pun intended) on the Nock-On Elevate drop-away rest, all he has to do is get Jess to agree. Good luck with that Dave!

Don’t forget our come and try session this Saturday from 12pm, all new archers are welcome and it’s free! Then our club shoot from 1.30pm, Hope to see you there!!
