Need To Know This Week
Archery NZ Outdoor League
Are you interested in shooting in an informal, no pressure league, at Mountain Green, but competing with other archers around the country? The Archery NZ Outdoor League could be for you! Starting from 25 November, it’s a 15 week league, where you shoot 36 arrows, at a 30m distance, on an 80cm face. You can shoot it any time during the week – you just need another member to verify your scoresheet. There’s no cost, but you do need to register – go to Archery OSA for all the details and to sign up.
Evening on the Maunga Now Underway
Our first Evening on the Maunga tournament was on Wednesday – a beautiful calm evening which made a wonderful showcase of our range. Many thanks to all those who helped organise and set up tournament. Check out the photos on our Facebook page here.
The next event is Wednesday 27 November, then 4 December, 11 December and the last event on 18 December. These events are pretty much sold out so the range will not be available for casual shooting from 3pm until close on Wednesdays.
The LOC (local organising committee) would love extra helpers, so please contact Emma on clubcaptain@mgac.org.nz if you can lend a hand at one or more of the events.
Tertiary League
The last results for the year – term four – are due shortly. You have until Saturday 30 November to shoot the round and leave your scoresheet for Jan in the Tertiary League drawer in the clubhouse. Distances and pinscores are up on the club noticeboard. The Young Adult group will be shooting the round on Sunday 24th Nov 1pm if any archers want to join in. More information on the Tertiary League is on the Archery NZ website here.
