A closer look at why the range is so busy on Wednesday afternoons right now - College Sport Archery - a massive inter school archery competition being held at AAC and MGAC. Run for many years by the indomitable Jeanette Franklyn and her team, it’s a massive undertaking.
30 schools (4 brand new to it this year) from across Tamaki Makaurau, with teams and individual archers. In total, 175 archers each week shooting at AAC with a further 43 at MGAC.
Skill levels range from international reps and experienced field archers, to those just off a coaching course. If they can shoot safely, we welcome their participation. Some kids only get to shoot in this competition with their school team and not again for the rest of the year.
Really great shooting from SO many young archers including two event records being broken this week:
Compound pairs - Westlake Boys High Barebow individual - Diocesan School for Girls.
All results are on the College Sport website

Parents may also wish to download the College Sport app as this is the absolute bible for keeping in touch with all CS events; results, venue changes, session changes, cancelations etc.
There 4 more weeks of competition, and we welcome and encourage people to come and watch.
