We are an Archery club,
affiliated with the
Australian Bowhunters Association. We are a member club of the
Greater Victorian Branch. Our grounds
are situated in the Greater Bendigo Regional Park, Wellsford Forest, a
few minutes from the centre of Bendigo.
Club shoots are conducted two weekends a month
from February to November .
Friday night indoor competitions are then followed up by a shoot on
Sunday on one of our four ABA, two
IFAA
courses. Shooters are graded on
their results and equipment divisions, at ABA approved rounds. A
handicap system is used for other rounds which can be
3D targets, or other rounds. Members also
have the opportunity to attend Two Day shoots hosted other Branch clubs,
and annual State and National titles.
Hunting awards are based on
feral and game animals taken with a bow and arrow during the year.
Hunters must hold a current Bowhunter Proficiency Certificate. To become
a member of our club and the national body (ABA), you must be able to
prove competency with a bow and arrow. To give you the opportunity we
conduct a two session,
introductory courses
throughout the year. So
before you go out and buy equipment, come and see what is available.
The club also offers group
bookings and come and try days such as at Lake Weeroona on Australia
Day. Students from Kangaroo Flat SC and Golden Square SC are regular
participants at the club.
