Congratulations to NZ Youth Olympians in Dakar, Senegal
We congratulate recurve archers Ella Yang and Thornton Wallberg on their Youth Olympics performance over the last week, finishing 26th and 24th respectively in their ranking rounds. Some might know Ella and Thornton who are both Auckland Archery club members. We are pleased they represented NZ and had the opportunity to shoot at such a challenging and rewarding world event. Well done to them both.

Upcoming
Interclub Challenge shoot this Saturday 14 November.
Come and shoot the Interclub challenge anytime this Saturday at MGAC.
The shoot is 90 arrows in total (30 arrows at three different distances).
We have entered three MGAC teams, and need at least nine archers to shoot the challenge this Saturday, more would be most welcome! Scores must be verified by an adult member of the club (i.e. you can’t score alone) and each archer can shoot the round only once on the day.
Full rules for the Interclub Challenge are in the Archery NZ Competition Rules and the rounds being shot are described in the Archery NZ Shooting Rules.
Score sheets are in the clubhouse. Completed and signed sheets can be sent to kelly@mgac.org.nz.
The next ADAA 600 round is: Sunday 15 November at Auckland Archery Club.
The shoot is free to join. Registration is at 1pm at the nominated club, with shooting commencing no later than 1.30pm. The shoot is 90 arrows at 30 metres. All archers begin on a 122cm target face. Once an archer has shot 600 points or greater on that target face, the next shoot they must drop their target face size to 80cm, then 60cm, then 40cm. Archers who proceed beyond this point may opt to shoot a 20cm spot.
