Namoi Valley Archers held a 2 round 3D event on Sunday in very windy conditions. Adding to the challenge competitors were shooting on a newly constructed 3D range which featured some very challenging uphill and downhill shots which made high scoring very difficult.
This event was the last opportunity for competitors to gain valuable practice leading into the 2011 World Bowhunter Championships to be held in Wagga Wagga with Ken Thompson and Haylee Murrell showing their preparation is right on track with both setting new club records in their respective divisions.
Wendi Murrell scored a confidence building win in the Compound contest with Karen Hudson taking second and Ann Stubbs third.
Darrell Hudson finished the day as the top Traditional archer after compiling two tidy rounds with Matt Sinclair shooting well to take second and Mark Stevenson shooting a personal best to finish third.
Stuart Dolbel led the field home in a hotly contested Sighted division securing the win by just 2 points from John Clark with Lloyd Jauja also shooting well to finish third.
Zac Hayne was the best of the Junior Sighted archers with Sebastian Donovan just 2 points away in second with rapidly improving newcomer Ben Martin in third.
Haylee Murrell secured a big win in Cub Compound with Kaytlyn Murrell in second and Stacey Scott in third.
