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.
