North Island Target Championships 2025

North Island Target Championships 2025 – A Great Weekend of Archery!

Over the weekend of March 29th–30th, Shore Archery proudly hosted the 2025 North Island Target Championships at our grounds in Wairau Valley. We were treated to perfect weather, setting the stage for two fantastic days of competition and camaraderie.

The event drew a strong turnout, with archers from across the North Island competing in WA 720 rounds on Saturday, followed by exciting individual matchplay on Sunday. With divisions for U21, Open, 50+, and 60+, and bows ranging from recurve to traditional, it was a true celebration of the sport.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who made the event possible—your help with setup, running the event, and cleanup afterwards was absolutely invaluable.

A big thank you as well to all the participants and supporters who brought great energy to the weekend. We’ll be sharing photos and results as they become available—stay tuned!

Christmas Shoot 2025

Shore Archery Christmas Shoot 2025

Festive Fun at the North Shore Archery Club’s Christmas Shoot

 

The holiday spirit was in full swing at the North Shore Archery Club’s annual Christmas Shoot! Archers of all ages donned their best Christmas-themed costumes and accessories, creating a festive and colorful atmosphere on the range. 

Participants took aim at unique Christmas-themed targets, adding a playful twist to the sport. Both youth and adults joined in the fun, showcasing their skills while celebrating the season together.

The Christmas Shoot wasn’t just about hitting the bullseye—it was a delightful mix of competition, holiday cheer, and community bonding.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a merry success!

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!
