FITA star weekend 14/15 August
We had a spectacular weekend of weather for the FITA Star. I am sure the endorphins created by the brilliant blue sky helped archers achieve the overall high scores. 27 Archers attended the shoot.
Results:
1st place Ryan Tyack 113.3% of GMB scoring 2578
2nd place Greg Jans 105.2692% of GMB scoring 2737
3rd place Jessica Sutton 105.2632% of GMB scoring 2600
4th place Michael Brosnan (who else) - 104.9% of GMB scoring 2717
Of particular note were Jessica Sutton who broke all distance state records and the National record for the event for Cub Girl Recurve. Jessica’s performance continues to improve at a pace. Note how close Jessica was to taking 2nd place over all missing out by .007%.
Neil Digweed set a state record for the FITA 60 with a score of 2789 – Neil came 5th overall. And Colin Forster who shot his first ever FITA event and scored a very respectable 843 on the first day. Great effort Colin.
If you are confused about the scoring and why Greg didn’t come first with his overall score of 2737, each archers score is calculated as a percentage of the GMB (Grand Master Bowman) score for their class (gender/age/bow). That means Greg had to achieve a higher score relative to his GMB score to get first place.

Grant application for Indoor shooting range
We are now drawing near to second lodgement of our grant application for the indoor shed. The executive remain confident that we stand a good chance of success.
House keeping
Another reminder to members to put the butts back under cover when you have finished using them. Also to bin your rubbish, including shot out targets, in the bins provided. This will help greatly in protecting our assets as well as keeping our club tidy. This includes unwanted water bottles.
Take care when driving out of the club grounds at the first merge with the Field road to your left. The club executive will be erecting a sign there to improve awareness for drivers as they turn right into the main Range road.
Working Bee
Thank you to all who helped out with the working bee on Sunday the 1st. The club is becoming more archer/member friendly with each effort made at these working bees. Thank you!
Coaching
A good turn out to the Coaching day on 8 August. Many members benefited from Keith’s coaching, including yours truly (scores keep getting better). Thank you Keith and Julie.
The Ute
The ute has been sold! Woo Hoo!
Junior Archery – Kids Saturday Morning fun shoot
Further to the Junior archery item in last months newsletter….
The number of juniors in the club is growing which is great. Some of the juniors aspire to beat the adults and are happy to compete on Saturday afternoons. These and young archers want a more fun centred approach to their archery as well as a time to socialise.
Starting on the 28th August Dave Sutton and Paul Cartwright are organising a fun session prior to the Saturday morning coaching. There will be fun archery based games as well as a chance for the juniors to get to know each other better.
Three of our juniors went to
As part of the sessions we will be able to inform juniors and parents about what is involved with going to large tournaments, when to book, how to qualify for SQAS teams etc.
We are also arranging some field and clout based coaching sessions and some other informative sessions such as fletching and string making for those who want to learn a bit more. We will advertise these on the notice board and all are welcome - even the more mature archers.
The session on the 28th August will be at 9:00am and then from 4th September they will be at 10:00. This does not replace the coaching sessions but gives the juniors some fun shooting before the coaching begins
