Field Champs
Well done to all the hardy MGAC archers who braved the weather last Saturday for the annual MGAC Field Champs. Held at the very scenic Massey Archery Club in Kumeu, the event saw archers shoot from bridges, down hills, over lakes and more. See full results here and a few photos from the event on the MGAC Facebook page here (thanks to photographers Andrew Fong, Emma Ala’alatoa Dale, and Janis Blake).

Calling all Barebowers! Barebow Tuning Course
MGAC member and champion barebower Kerry Hoole is running a Barebow Tuning course at MGAC on 29th October from 1 pm to 4 pm. This is for Barebow archers who have been shooting for more than six months and will cover a range of tuning methods including checking limb alignment, centre shot, matchstick tuning, bare shaft tuning, walk back tuning, plunger tuning and more. 

Just $20 for MGAC members, and $30 for members of other clubs (to cover the MAC range fee).  See Archery OSA for full details and to enrol. Get in quick, this will be very popular!
