GEELONG ARCHERS 2007 Warralong Field Competition

Held on the 1st of April the Warralong Field Competition is a FITA Field Marked Round consisting of 24 targets. These targets are arranged along a course which has hosted State Field Championships with some challenging up hill and down hill shots. Warralong will also give archers a chance to shoot a great field course before the National Championships.


Flyer's should be at your club soon.

If not Please contact me for Flyer's & Entry forms.

Yeehah! I love Geelong's course. Once you have gone around it it feels like you have shot under 4 different terrains. Can't wait!

[kg]

Hey Jason!!

Just double checking - the flyer for the Warralong shoot says 'Saturday 1st April' - but Saturday is the 31st of March!

Is the shoot on Saturday 31st March or Sunday 1st April?!

cheers,

Very sorry I won't be able to attend this shoot :(

Geelong has a great course, and I was looking forward to shooting it again, but when I looked on our calendar at home last night, I found out we have a 1st birthday party to attend.

Have a great shoot guys ;)

[maskn]

Warralong is 1 week away so get those entry forms in :thumb:

Hope to see you there :thumb:

Hey KG, I'm up for the field, following my recent success I am suddenly a big fan of a field shoot. If you are posting today ring me please to add me on, maybe we could car pool??

[Bruce]

What time is the start please?

For those coming from the southern suburbs of Melbourne:
Run for Kids, Sunday 1st April

Westbound Traffic on Kings Way
Primary Diversion Route - Moray Street

The West Gate Freeway westbound on-ramp at Kings Way will be closed between approximately 7:00am and 10:30am. Motorists will be advised that West Gate Freeway access is only available at Todd Road. Motorists will be directed to turn into Moray Street (northbound), turn left into City Road, turn right into Montague Street, turn left into Normanby Road and turn right into Todd Road to gain access to the West Gate Bridge.

Tyro

[Jason.P]

Practise range open 8am
Registration 8.30am
Shoot commences 9.30am

Was unaware of the Run for Kids event.

[Eolla]

I got caught in the fun run traffic last year, Citilink and the Westgate brige closed at the same time, take careful note of the above instructions and leave early,

or better still if you are SG recurve disregard above :-)

[kg]

Avoid the city altogether, and take the top route - TJ & are going to take the Eastern fwy all the way in, around the cemetary, past the zoo, along Racecourse Rd, past Flemington racecourse down Smithfield, then out the Geelong Road.

Longer, but fingers crossed no foot-traffic :-)

[Marcus]

Awesome shoot. Perfect weather and teh course A1 as usual.
Make sure you all shoot this one next year, many first timers today were blown away by some of the shots. They are not difficult, but just very very interesting. It's not an easy course, but not impossible either.

Results

Bit annoyed by my miss on my last arrow (letting down with an Evo is not wise without hitting the safety). However was not alone. Jarrad had a miss, Primal 2, and Hannah 3 on one target. :o
Alan Weston and Erika were a class above the rest today though. :thumb:

Hopefully Bruce posts some pictures. ;)

[Bruce]

I'll pick out a few , just going through them

[Jason.P]

Thanks Marcus for your comments

Thanks to everyone .
It was a great day the weather was perfect
Hope every one enjoyed the shoot

[Erika]

My first field shoot with the Guardian and given that I'm not a field shooter, I can't complain about how I shot.... well I can (1 ruddy point grumble mutter).

Good course, good weather, good food. :D

Well done Geelong Archers!! Great day, great weather, great field course, and i didn't lose any arrows so i'm a HAPPY pickle! :-) (i also shot a PB - woohoo!!)

Jason - that 50mt up the hill is a BEAUTY!

Very nice pix posted - well done Bruce!

And really nice trophies too - man, i'm just FULL of praise for this whole shoot! Now, if you wouldn't mind just moving the course a LITTLE closer to me, that would pretty much be absolutely perfect... ;-)

[Jason.P]

The wonder twins :)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/kelleher/DSC_2652.jpg


You are right. Totally hot, rather sexy, very desirable, nice curves, and irresistible. Nothing like a pair of Bowtech to get a man's heart pumping. I see that Erika and Hannah are in the photo too.

[primal]

some photo's i took in the field.


unfortunately many contain trace elements of marcus.

the best target of the day. (but not the most difficult to shoot.
