Good morning everyone. The rain has been very welcome. Although the exact amount that fell on the range is uncertain, it has been sufficient to temporarily suppress dust. The grounds are in good condition and the 3D point score scheduled for tomorrow will proceed as planned. We look forward to seeing you there.

This weekend's point score shoot has been cancelled due to its unfortunate coincidence with Mother's Day. We apologize for this inconvenience and encourage you to spend quality time with a maternal figure in your life instead.

Saturday's working bee will proceed as scheduled, commencing at 9 am with tasks such as mowing and cleaning.

This weekend, the 18th and 19th, marks a significant event for Hunter Bowman. Our 30x30 challenge, as per our calendar, and the Branch E IFAA Indoor Mail Match, which will be held outdoors, will take place. Participants can choose to participate in either or both events, provided they can handle the required number of arrows. We will begin on Saturday around lunchtime, and assistance is needed to set up targets for the 30x30 challenge. A few minor changes have been made to the course to accommodate the IFAA mail match, which will be held on the practice butts on either Saturday afternoon or Sunday. The basic rules for the 30x30 challenge are as follows: shoot at your own pace, go out when you want, but be off the range by 5 pm Saturday and 2 pm Sunday. You can shoot all 30 in a round or a few, then complete the rest on Sunday. Your call. Scores must be submitted before 2 pm on Sunday. A minimum of two shooters per group is required, with at least one adult present. The primary objective is to have fun. A few of us will be camping overnight, and everyone is invited to join us. The more, the merrier, and we often come up with great ideas around the campfire.

Today we had our 1st 3D Point score shoot for the year & a great big thanks to all who attended & helped make it a great day allround.
A few new faces, a few familiar faces & a great turnout for this time of year with what I believe was 17 shooters signing on.

A couple of new inovations brought into play today for the first time too, as we ran the running target as part of the club point score & introduced a sittiing "Blind" shot for anyone who was interested in taking up the challenge.
We have a couple of new Target ideas coming up & some developements with respect to club infrastucture so watch this space!

The course overall once again set out by our range setter, Mick Allen didnt disapoint, some gnarly little gaps & overhangs to deal with which always keeps things interesting.
Again, thanks to everyone who rolled up this morning, I know I had a great day & I think most, if not all did as well.
Hope to see you all on the next one!
Anyway, enough chatter, I'll let the photos do the talking from here on.

Dear valued members, as we welcome 2026, we invite you to participate in our working bee scheduled for this Saturday. In anticipation of warm weather, we plan to commence at 8 am. Appropriate clothing and footwear are essential, and snake awareness is advised. Tasks for the day include mowing (subject to dry conditions), range clearing, possible butt maintenance, and sanitation and canteen facilities cleaning. A number of members will be staying over for the Sunday ABA event. Every contribution, no matter the duration, aids in the team's overall effort.

This is our newest invention for the club. A little more tweaking to get it spot on and it’s go time.

It’s been a long time coming, but we made it.
After battling computer issues, the whirlwind of Christmas, and a few personal setbacks, we can finally say it’s done — the 2026 shoot calendar is officially open.

Time to lock in your holidays, plan ahead, and kick off this year stronger than the last.
