2013 NNSW BRANCH SHOOT

The Manning District Bowhunters recently held the 2013 NNSW Branch ABA shot.

On arriving early at the club, Saturday morning you were greeted by many caravan and tents, which translates into a large roll up of archers.

 There were shooters from Macleay Valley, Singleton Archery Society, Avon Valley, Hunter Bowman, Tuggerah Lakes, Boolaroo Bowmen, Sapphire City Archers, Hastings Valley, Namoi Valley, Coffs Harbour Archers. Also, a husband and wife came all the way from Victoria just to shoot at our club. It was great to see so many clubs attend the weekend shoot.

Saturday morning was very wet; bring back archers who looked like drown rats. Saturday afternoon and Sunday, found the sun shining bright, turning it into a most enjoyable weekend.

Then it was time for the visiting archers to pack up and drive home, waiting for the shoot.

A big thanks to the club members, for attended the working bees and organisers for making it a fantastic shoot.

Also, thanks to the canteen staff for their delicious meals, over the weekend.

After the Presentation Sunday afternoon, seen the Manning archers coming away with so many medals.
