Request for old gear

Mountain Archers Te Aroha is working towards setting up beginner programmes, and they are seeking old aluminium arrows and parts for aluminium arrows. If you still have any old arrows, please consider donating to this aspiring club to give back to the archery community!

Email Warren Wilson wassawww@outlook.com for more info or to organise your donation.

Final College Sport this week + a Big Thank You from Kate Fraser-House (College Sport Archery Barebow co-ordinator)

Best of luck to all MGAC College Sport archers as they go into the final week of the College Sport League.

Thank you to MGAC members and committee for allowing Auckland College Sport to run the barebow section at the range over the past few weeks. We’ve had 44 high school–aged barebow archers attending each week and it has been wonderful to provide them with a supportive space to learn, grow, and compete.

A special thank you to the MGAC members who kindly helped with setup and pack‑down each week. Your willingness to give your time and energy made a genuine difference, and it was very much appreciated.

This Wednesday from 3:30-6:30pm will be our final evening College Sport session for the season, and we’re looking forward to finishing on a high note.

Thank you again for your generosity and support – it truly means a lot.
