Friday Archery announcement

Chris Densley Leave a comment
The Club has decided to amend the Friday hours to accommodate the known preferred times of members, including those who wish to attend from mid-afternoon.
The new Friday hours for the indoor range are 3pm to 8pm.
The outdoor range is available for that time too but only during daylight hours.
Friday night INDOOR league events on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month have also been reviewed.
📅 The new Friday Night calendar is as follows:
🎯 Indoor league to run on every 2nd Friday (i.e. every fortnight) – participants can shoot the comp at any time during our Friday sessions i.e. 3pm to 8pm, as long as a club official can verify and sign off on the score. For example, one person might shoot at 3.30pm, and another at 6pm. The time taken to complete the shoot is approx. 60-90min.
🎯 The Winter season will involve 5 Friday nights:
📅 July 2nd, 16th and 30th
📅 August 13th and 27th
🎯 The Spring season would follow. The Indoor league provides a great way to test your own progress in a relaxed competitive setting.
🤪 Novelty nights – these are also indoor events and will be run on the alternate Friday nights (i.e. non-league Fridays), and might include 3D targets, D.A.I.R targets, and even archery ‘darts’. These start on Friday July 9 2021.
There will no separate charge for these events as they fall within your membership. As per the casual membership, a $10 range fee applies to each session. We encourage all archers, young and old, novices to veterans, to participate in these events.
The range will be open this Friday 18 June and next Friday 25 June with no organized events.

Thank You

Saturday Working Bee 24/04

Chris Densley Leave a comment

A working bee was held on Saturday 24 April to complete maintenance to the Field
Course and Indoor targets. A huge amount was achieved and archers worked strongly
together to get the jobs done.


Coaches downed the tools for a while to conduct our regular ‘Come and Try’ session
and then picked up the tools again afterwards – great effort.

Thanks to all those who attended, including those from Committee, and the following
non-committee: Mick and Riley Austin, Peter Hill, Dave Reid, Alex Nesic. Huge
efforts – please accept the Clubs thanks!

Autumn Indoor League Rounds 7 & 8

Chris Densley Leave a comment

Archers are enjoying the Autumn Indoor League and some very pleasing results were
recorded.

 

On Friday 23 April both Mick Austin and Gerard Ivander recorded PB’s – well done to both! 

 

Alex Nesic showed glimpses of his highly impressive recent form. Whilst Lex was
disappointed with his scores on the night, he finished very strongly. We all realised
why he is amongst the best compound archers around – some will say ‘The Best’ but
Lex modestly won’t have that.

 

The Indoor League provides a relaxed and supportive atmosphere to test and improve
your archery skills.

Archers are already putting their minds to the Winter Indoor League – details to
follow – why not join us? Ask next time you are at the club, and we’ll happily provide
details.

Summer Indoor League – Rnd 5 & 6 Results

Chopper Leave a comment

Friday night saw the running of rounds 5 & 6 of Archers of Warrnambool Summer Indoor League.

Numbers were low but competition was high, with visiting archer Mark Southall leading the way with his trusty longbow. This traditional archer shot a personal best on both rounds of competition, taking the points in his division on each of the 30 arrow events.

Club Captain Dave Reid was also in red hot form in the A grade division with scores of 272 and 279. Reid, shooting his backup bow, managed to win both his rounds just ahead of Alex Nesic, despite a complete miss in each event.

Competition was fierce in the B grade division with Chris Densley, Mick Austin and Peter Hill battling for points. Densley took top honours in round 5 with Mick Austin leading the way in round 6 and again shooting a personal best on the night. Austin is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the top recurve archers in the region, evidenced by regularly shooting mid 200s on the indoor range.

The next round of AoW indoor league will be Friday 22/1/21 at 7pm sharp.
