With the Namoi Valley Archers looking to host the state IFAA titles on November 6th and 7th a small group took to one of the IFAA ranges this weekend for some much needed practice, many for the first time.
With distances out to 70 yards it had a few of the ABA shooters staring in disbelief, but after a couple of arrows most began to find their feet. With most of the field new to IFAA it was agreed that a 14 target, 4 arrow round would be held just to help everyone understand the event.
