3 Arrow on Outback Range

Namoi Valley Archers conducted 3 arrow club shoot on Sunday with competitors taking to the Outback range in hot and fine conditions. The day had a retro feel with Range Captain, Stuart Dolbel, opting to use the older style black and white ABA targets which added a different dimension to the round with no one breaking the 1100 point barrier on the day.

Greg Scott returned the highest score of the day to win the Sighted division with a polished performance with Narrabri’s John Finn just edging out John Clark in a tense battle for the minor placings.

Karen Hudson scored a very hard fought win in the Compound division after a titanic struggle with Wendi Murrell while Jarrod Stubbs edged out the chasing pack to grab third.

Haylee Murrell reasserted her dominance in the Cub Compound contest scoring a good win from sisters Kaytlyn and Emylie Murrell.

The next club shoot will be held on March 4th with registration at 8.30am for a 9.00am start on the range.

New Year Underway

Namoi Valley Archers kicked off the 2012 season with a 2 arrow handicap event with competitors venturing out onto a completely redesigned Boundary Range. Range designers, Bernie Hayne and Nathan Murrrell spent many hours over the summer break on the range and their efforts were obvious as they presented a testing layout which made maximum use of the varying terrain. With a starting time for the event of 4.30pm the range was made even more difficult with the late afternoon sun making some targets extremely tricky to judge with the last group coming off the range at 7.30pm. Greg Donovan led the sighted shooters home with a very well compiled round with John Clark grabbing second place while Matt Sinclair and Gordon White finished tied for third. Wade Hudson scored a brilliant win in the Compound division scorching round the course in a superb display of archery with Karen Hudson just edging out Wendi Murrell in the battle for the minor placings. John Woolaston’s comeback to archery continues to gather momentum after he scored an excellent win in the Traditional contest with Darrell Hudson finishing second and Phil Greenwood third. The overall winner on the day after the handicaps were applied was youngster Katylyn Murrell, shooting a personal best score on the day. Murrell made a mockery of her handicap to finish 138 points in front of her nearest rival. The next club shoot will be held this Sunday with the traditional daylight saving time start with registrations at 8.30am with archers taking to the range at 9.00am.
