Snap! It’s BAP
This Saturday is BAP, our monthly opportunity for archers of all abilities to learn the steps in World Archery’s Beginner Award Programme. Come along for coaching and a chance to practice with others as you work towards your White, Black, Blue, Red or Gold Arrow. Please arrive by 10:30am. Later arrivals may not be able to join in the programme.
Learn About WA Field Archery
Would you like to know a little more about World Archery Field? Fleur Maggs is running a workshop on Sunday 9th March, from 2.00pm, open to all bow types. Please register here.
The workshop will cover: target types, some rules, and for those who use sights: guaging for unmarked and sight tapes.
If you would like to make a sight tape, please fill out this “Archers Advantage PDF” about your gear and bring it with you on the day. We will collect the rest of the information on the day to make the sight tape at a later date.
World Archery Judge Logan Andrew will be there to answer all your questions too.
For more information please email Fleur at: fleur@mgac.org.nz
