Uniform

Club Shirt

The Mountain Green Archery Club Shirt was redesigned in 2024 and is available for purchase directly from Kapinua.  It is a mandatory part of the club uniform for those who wish to enter tournaments or other official archery events. Either the shooting shirt or the t-shirt may be worn as the uniform shirt.

Black Pants/Leggings/Shorts/Skirt

Black pants, leggings, shorts, or skirt are worn to complete the uniform. Shorts or skirts must be as long as your longest finger when extended against the side of your leg (no shorter!).

Undershirt

If you wish to wear a short- or long-sleeved undershirt, it must be black or white.

Shoes

Shoes are entirely up to your personal preference and comfort level. They must be closed-in shoes, as is normal on an archery range. No gaps of any kind are permitted, whether designed or worn into place. Sneakers, sports shoes, gumboots (in wet weather) or hiking shoes are the general preference. Modern hiking shoes do offer comfort, support and the ability to keep your feet dry in nearly all weather conditions.

Hats

Hats are also a personal preference item. Woolly hats or beanies in winter are equally as necessary as sunhats in summer. Sunhats usually are dependent on the stiffness and length of the brim, as this can interfere with your shot. Bucket hats are excellent as they have a soft brim, provide cover for the back of your neck and can be bent out of the way when you shoot. Baseball caps are fine, but the brim needs to be turned off the face while shooting – the peak is often blocking the string at full draw.

No camouflage clothing

Camouflage clothing items of any sort are not permitted at any time at MGAC or Archery NZ events.
