Tasmanian State Indoors 31/07 - 1/08

[pmulholland]

We have just spent two days shooting the Tas state indoors. The results are below. We shot 2 FITA 1s each day.

Like ACT very, very cold. On day one, believe it or not, there was a problem with the sun 8) It was coming through the skylight windows and directly into shooters eyes! problem fixed with some shadecloth and very agile archers to get it put up :D

I personally chucked away my fixed rest after day one and went back to a drop rest with a 22 point improvement!

A compounder to watch out for in the future is Abdul Safaei - this guy is getting pretty good.

This was also the first tournament for many of our new junior recurvers - well done. Sarah Cooper-White set a new state record for U16 girls the first day, and broke it again on the second!

Congrats on the event. Boy you work your archers hard down there. Two double FITA I rounds?! we were a little easier with just the single :)
All or nothing, no second chance.

It'll be interesting to see the individual FITA 18m scores. I wonder if anyone got their White, Black, Blue and Red FITA Target Awards all in the one weekend .. or perhaps even higher ones? :o

There's a fair crop of recurvers in the U16 boys - the scores aren't too shabby, either

Unfortunately we don't have any regular indoor venues in Tassie at the moment :( , so I suppose a long event like this accounts for all our indoor shooting for the year. Use the first day for practice and the second day for getting serious :D

Clare - I'm pretty sure there will be some claims, but I only got the end results so don't know the individual scores. They might be posted on the Tas website eventually (2006 maybe :D )

There are quite a few up and coming junior recurvers in Tas, especially Launceston, and they are getting good - I hope none of them swap to compound - might give the rest of us compounders a scare!!!!

there certainly is and these guys haven't been shooting long at all! abdul is a very solid shot i hear he is having some visa troubles as he is a refugee (or some troubles like this) hope he gets to stay! well done to everyone
