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.

Today we had one of the best turnouts for the year! It was fantastic to seee up to 15 people on the shooting line at one time.

Kylie and Austin were back, along with Michelle and Charlie², all of whom shot well during the day.

Super Coach Mike Clark was also in attendance to take our Come and Try Class and Kane Bartlett and family was back from a two week sabbatical and was hittng Gold all day as usual.

Jessie and Travis returned to the club too after a long lay off, Jessie shooting his new Hoyt and Travis (AKA Oliver Queen) with his Onieda super bow. Great to see you two back guys!

Jess Reid continued her battle to shoot 60 at 20m, keep it up Jess, the way you’re shooting, it’s only a matter of time before you get that elusive 60.

Some New faces there today as well as some old friends returning.

We have an agreement with the DRA and are just waiting on an interim Licence from Wannon Water to get the keys and re-entry into our Indoor range . This will eventually lead to a new lease with Wannon Water issued to a yet to be formed company which will be owned and managed by all the shooting clubs and the DRA equally.
This has been achieved due to the good will and intentions on both sides.

A great turnout today for our come and try classes, with 7 new archers trying archery for the first time. With Super Coach Mike Clarke away, it was left to Dave Reid to take the classes. Bear in mind that with a recurve bow, Dave couldn’t hit water if he was standing in a lake. But I guess you don’t need to be a canary to know how to sing, because by the end of the day, almost all the new archers were hitting gold. Move over Super Coach, there’s a new Sheriff in town!
