3 Arrow All Count To Kick The Year Off

Namoi Valley Archers kicked off the 2010 season on Sunday with a big field taking to the Outback range for a 3 arrow round with senior competitors trying the newly introduced Hunter peg for the first time. This new innovation will be used on all ABA ranges in 2010 and it is hoped it will prove popular with the hunting fraternity and see an increase it shoot numbers at both club and branch events. Despite light raining falling during the round some very good scores were recorded with visiting archer Pat Tydings recording the highest score for the day on his way to winning the sighted division just holding off Stuart Dolbel in a very close contest with Matthew Wittman just a few points away in third. Wade Hudson was in scintillating form scoring a decisive win in the Compound contest with Tamworth veteran Neville White turning in a good round to grab second with Karen Hudson third. Darrell Hudson started the year in fine form finishing the day a clear winner in the Traditional division with Peter Stubbs second and Michael Patrick third. James Bush and Shane Thompson turned on an exciting head to head duel in the Junior sighted contest with Bush just outlasting Thompson to record a very narrow win with Sebastian Donovan grabbing third. The next club shoot will be held on February 21^st.
