LIVING LEGENDS
Over time all Associations and organisations identify people who through their exploits and their presence become legends. The awards were first instituted by Terry Sheather and presented at the infamous Pub with No Beer shoot at Taylors Arm about 30kms south west of Macksville in NSW.
The objective was to recognise people who had, a continuous association with archery for many years, and not just in shooting but being involved in all aspects of the game. They were people that if you were talking to an archer and mentioned their names, people would say “yes I’ve heard of them“.
In 2002 the Committee took over the award and presented one to Terry. The Association now has 5 awardees.
3DAAA Is also looking for the next group of living legends, Please submit an email to secretary@3daaa.com.au or your state liaisons to identify your local Living legend.
