Jess and Dave Reid, along with Gerry Mahoney, ventured to GHA’s field shoot on the 10th of Feb.

It was Gerry’s first try at a 3 arrow field course and he accounted for himself very well. Shooting his new Samick Sage Recurve, Gerry managed a very respectable 159. A great result first time out, and indicative of the fact that Gerry is improving every week. Well done mate, and I must say, you were a pleasure to shoot with.

It was Jess’ second time at GHA’s field course, her first outing she shot 188 and today her final score was a brilliant 295! A 107 point improvement on her personal best. Great work Jess, all that practise is really paying off for you. Of course you do have an amazing coach too 😃😂👌😎

Dave shot 269, well down on what he is capable of, but he too is slowly finding form with his new gear.

All round it was a great day, GHA are a great club with friendly and accomodating members. If you get the chance, head up there for a great day of shooting. And don’t think you’re not good enough, as they are happy to let you shoot at a maximum of 20 metres. So if you can hit a target at 20 metres you will have an absolute ball around their field course. Thanks again to Brendan and all the crew at GHA for making AoW so welcome.

It must be contagious! For the 3rd time in a row we have a Robin Hood at the club. This time it was Dave Reid who Robin Hooded his own arrow at 50m. The only shining light for Dave was the fact that his arrow scored an X. Let me tell you Kiddies, those CXL Tank 23s are great arrows, but they’re too expensive to be doing this with. Looks like another trip to Urban Archery is in store for Dave, last Tuesday he lost two arrows,and last Saturday he broke another one, so by now I’m sure he’s running low on arrows.

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

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!!
