Need To Know This Week

NO CLUB SHOOT THIS WEEK

This Saturday we are hosting the Auckland District Archery Association District Doubles. This is a fun tournament where teams of two compete using wooden club bows. All welcome for a fun day (and a BBQ at lunchtime). For more information and to register, visit the ADAA Facebook page.

As a result there will be NO CLUB SHOOT on Saturday. However, the range will be open for casual shooting once the tournament is finished, which could be as early as 3pm. Keep an eye on our Messenger Group on Saturday afternoon – we’ll post once we have a confirmed opening time.

Indoor Range 

The Indoor Range is now open with our awesome new shooting wall. Huge thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make it happen. Let’s keep the range looking as pristine as it does now – please take all rubbish and shot-out target faces home with you, check your points are securely glued in, and never use broadheads. 

Interclub

If you represented MGAC and shot the Interclub for October thank you so much – awesome shooting everyone! Please put the next dates in your diary for November to come and represent your club – all members welcome. No cost. Lollies provided!

1pm Sunday 10th November (MAIN SHOOT)
