Achievement Round
Join the Achievement Round this Saturday during the club shoot. Free for any MGAC member, it’s a great way to grow in confidence extending your distance. The Shoot is 72 arrows (12 ends of 6 arrows) and you start at your closest comfortable distance.

College Sport at MGAC
MGAC hosted one division of the College Sport archery competition this Wednesday, with around 20 barebow archers from several schools shooting at our range. We will host this every Wednesday until 20 March from around 3.30pm to around 5.30pm. There is space for casual shooting alongside. MGAC is proud to join Auckland Archery Club, together hosting around 250 high school age archers for this competition.
Clout Club Champs is coming
The Clout Club Champs is on Sunday 3 March at Rutherford College. This will be a great opportunity to practice clout for anyone shooting it at the Nationals, and for any archer of any experience to join in. It’s pretty much the only time archers are allowed to shoot arrows into the air, so give it a go! Details and registration here.
