Never trust a weather man. They’re all liars making their living off a lucky chance. In the days leading up to the Lake Mac Classic they’d been forecasting doom. “A months rain in 2 days” they said, and on the Friday night there was just enough drizzle hanging around to give them credibility. But the morning of Saturday 20th May...
Well another great shoot hosted by Caboolture & District Bowmen. The shoot was held off club grounds again (thank you John & Heather for the use of the grounds again this year, always greatly appreciated) and the courses were set several weeks in advance. We all hoped that the weather gods would be kind to us this year knowing that...
Diamond Valley Archers Inc. in Victoria has an extremely busy calendar. Not Just Archery, the Grand Prix, plus much more taking place across Melbourne, all demanding time and effort to prepare, organise and run. None the less the dedicated 3D shooters in the State look forward to the 3D AAA Series of events and the clubs in Victoria have learnt...
From a competitors view going to a Twin Cities Archers 3D AAA event. From the time you arrive, and people are arriving from mid Friday afternoon to Saturday morning before the shoots starts, 3D AAA members and the club members are making sure the members and new people are not left out. From the initial greeting to the assistance with...
In 2016, the 3DAAA National Titles returned to Nambucca Heads for the first time in seven years. This drew an impressive number of archers, with over 250 competitors gearing up for the weekend.

The 9th & 10th of July 2016 had been nominated to run the State Titles at DVA and while in January this seemed to be too far off to really worry about with all the other busy events Diamond Valley Archers were running; this window of time soon disappeared. The team came together, long range forecasts were reviewed, mapping the...
This year, archers were treated to a change of pace for their October long weekend getaway. Mountain View Archers were lucky enough to secure the shoot date, which has been a favourite among members in the past. Taking on the iconic shoot may have seemed an intimidating task, but MVA tackled the challenge head-on. The event drew over 80 shooters,...
Caboolture & District Bowmen, located just south of the beautiful Sunshine Coast in the sunny state of Queensland held the last 2016 Qld State Series Shoot on 17 & 18 September. The shoot was held off club grounds with some challenging courses set by our conniving and devious band of rangesetters…..but unfortunately not as conniving as they thought, with a...
Being the newest 3DAAA affiliated club, Gunnedah was the location for the next NSW state series shoot, held over the weekend of the 9th -10th July, on the club grounds situated near Lake Keepit. Gunnedah Arrow Slingers has only been established since January of this year, with the express intent of hosting an inaugural sanctioned shoot in its first year...
Beautiful sunny weather greeted archers to the Qld State Series shoot at Hinterland on 2nd & 3rd July. Cool mornings but bright sunny skies created a challenging environment amongst the dark shadows of the virgin bush & scrub areas of the newly formed ranges. The committee did a great job in providing a welcoming atmosphere to the visitors although numbers...
