Upcoming…
The season is upon us for the Shield Shoots! The club wants to field teams for the Ryan (recurve), Fraser (compound), Hamilton (barebow), and Inamata (longbow/traditional) Shields. These events must be shot between Oct 1 – Nov 20
Ryan and Fraser Shields are shot by four archers per team at 46m, while Hamilton and Inamata Shields are shot by three archers per team at 35m.We can enter as many teams as we like, but each Shield may only be shot at one nominated time – no re-do’s!.
If you are keen to shoot one of these events, please let me know by replying to this email, and I will pass your interest on to the relevant organiser!
If you are interested in organising the Fraser Shield, please also let me know by return email.
