News

Visitor policy updated

The Committee recently updated our Visitor and Casual Shooting Policy. Updates are:

The outdoor casual range fee is now $10, in line with our indoor casual fee and other clubs’ casual fees. This can be paid by bank transfer to the club (02-0110-0091898-00) or on our TidyHQ online shop. Remember this only applies to visitors from other clubs (except AAC members on Thursdays) or newbies who are trying out archery under your supervision.
Visit numbers are now unlimited (were previously limited to 4 per year), at the discretion of the Committee.
We clarified that only adult members (Senior/Non-shooting) can host visitors, no matter whether they are a newbie or an experienced archer visitor – remember you are responsible for their conduct and safe shooting while they are on the range.

Coming Up

Interclub Challenge – Sat 25 Feb

*Anyone* is welcome to take part. You do not need to be part of a pre-named team. The round is a Canadian 900; details here. We must have at least 9 people shooting to keep the club competing in this challenge so please give it a go.
You can shoot this at any time *on this date* when the range is available, just make sure the round is witnessed and send me a copy of the scoresheet (or leave the scoresheet for me to collect).

Achievement Round – Sat 25 Feb

Open to all club members. It is an incentive for Novice and Intermediate archers to grow in skill, practice shooting at further distances, and meet other members of the club. If you are comfortable shooting at 30m and want to push out to 40m+ come along and give it a go and earn your MGAC Ribbons!!

BAP Program – Sat 4 Mar

Available to all club members (youth and senior). Run by Geoff Sauvarin. Based on the World Archery Beginners Awards Program (BAP) – to progress archers from the White Arrow (beginner course level) through the rest of the WA Arrows (Black, Blue, Red, Gold Arrows). Each Arrow has a skill/technique component along with a scoring requirement at advancing distances from 10-30 m.
