Shore Archery Club – What’s On in November and December

Hi everyone,

Here is your guide to what’s on in November and December at Shore Archery Club!

2nd Nov, 9th Nov – Interclub Postal League (Round 1)
Throughout the season, clubs post their scores every round (1-2 months each) and are faced with a team from another club. Being a league format, teams from each club will be ranked in their league depending on the results throughout the season.
More information can be found here (https://www.archerynz.co.nz/interclub/#1724807496072-8441bf0b-ce98 ). On the two weekends coming we’ll take scores from archers to fill our teams for the first round (Oct/Nov). It is a Canadian 900 round, meaning a total of 90 arrows will be shot across 3 distances (30/30/30). Distances vary depending on bow type and division.
No need to sign up, just appear at club shoot time. For this year we’ve entered 2 teams, so the top 6 archers’ scores will be submitted from our club.

23rd Nov – Ken Leyman Memorial Shoot
Every year Shore Archery hosts the Ken Leyman memorial which is a major tournament. There will be no club shoot on this day, registered competitors only- done through ArcheryOSA. This year we’ll be running a single WA720 format, 72 arrows at your division’s distance.
More information and registration here (https://archeryosa.com/event/details/ken-leyman-memorial-2024-419). Entries are full for a lot of divisions, especially for Recurve. Please reach out to Jun for availability options and questions specific to your situation.

7th Dec – Xmas Novelty shoot
To wrap up the year, we will hold a fun novelty shoot where members can gather to shoot in a fun format and have BBQ to bond. This will be at the regular club shoot time.

14th Dec – Interclub Postal League (Round 2, Dec/Jan)
Round 2 of the postal league. If you cannot make this weekend we will have more chances in January next year.

ADAA 600 Shoot in North Shore Archery

On April 14th, the ADAA 600 Shoot was held at North Shore Archery ground where archers of all ages from around Auckland were welcomed to participate in a friendly competition.

It was a great day for a shoot. The sun was out, but there were enough clouds to keep the sunshine from blocking our vision. The grass was freshly cut, and the winds were in our favor!

The goal of the shoot was simple: to reach 600 points in their respective targets with 90 arrows. Everyone had a different goal that day:

  • Some to experience what it is like to shoot in a tournament.
  • Some to see how far they have come in their archery journey.
  • And some to see if they can get a pretty ribbon (that’s me).

Whether or not they achieved what they wanted, our North Shore club chefs made sure everyone was treated with sausage sizzles.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the shoot, and a SPECIAL thank you to all the volunteers who helped organize the event.

We hope to see you next time!
