Don't forget to register for the upcoming two day Dave Allery and Dennis Rothe shoot. Registration via Archers Diary. Entries close on 11th October.
There’s a lot going on!
The Club AGM was held on Sunday. It turned out to be a fantastic day for shooting and we had an early use of the new club rooms that are still in construction. Congratulations to everyone who shot, with Kyle winning the raffle and walking away with a shooting bag and wine (for his parents !). Thanks to Archery Supplies , Jenny Semmler 919 Wines , and Matt Pellew for the prizes.
There were a couple of changes on the committee. Shane Moll joins the committee for the first time, taking the position as secretary. Paul Bonner has stepped down as President however will stay on as a floor member. Paul has done a fantastic job during his time as President, being the driving force behind the Club room. Michael Lange has moved from secretary to the role of President. The committee would like to thank Mark Goodyer, who has stepped down from the position of floor member, for his time on the committee.

The long range weather forcast looks encouraging, according to weather.com there is a 0% chance of Snow , so that removes one excuse for not being there.....!
A successful Working Bee on the new clubrooms. Thanks to all who attended. Its really starting to take shape.
Thanks again to everyone who came out to help today. This is going to be awesome when it finished.
Looking great! Would’ve been there if my back wasn’t injured!
I am working all weekend but if anyone is available and wants to do anymore on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, I am free to help?

Good work by all
Well done Alix! Proud of you xx
Perfect weather and a great work crew. Clubroom frame is complete.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came out today and volunteered their time to get the shed frame up. It was a massive effort by everyone to get it done in such good time. Looking forward to getting it finished and making it a place BAC members can call home and visitors feel welcome.
And now you need to start planning the indoor centre add on
Lunch break and discussing the next steps.
Cant wait for it to be finished.
Looking good
Well done people.

A reminder to Club Members to come along on Sunday to our Handicap Shoot, last held sometime in the Dark Ages at BAC.
For those who don't quite understand what it is (to be honest thats basically everyone) , its really no different to any other shoot. However, in the depths of Archers Diary a mystical process takes place, and a handicap allowance will be added to your score once you have finished your round.
The handicap allowance gives a score that can be rated against everyone else in the club, regardless of skill level or even what round you shot (if you are a novice archer you have a real advantage in these handicap events !)
So come along on Sunday and have some fun, shoot well, and see where you rank . You never know, you may walk away with a bottle of wine or a handful of kit-kats!
Ok I’m in. It looks like the weather won’t e as bad as first forecast!
What time is it scheduled to start?

Well done everyone, it was a great weekend of shooting and the weather was fantastic to go with it!
Well done all shooters at the club!
Cressy Bowmen held their Invitational shoot today with three BAC members heading down to shoot. Congratulations to Craig for picking up second place in open men's recurve, and Michael for coming second in open men's compound. Also well done to Grant for just missing out on third place in open men's compound.
Well done everyone, big weekend for the club.
Congratulations and well done all.
Great result guys , well done !
Congratulations guy
Well done lads!
GSA held the inaugural Fairweather Invitational field shoot today. The BAC had two teams enter, coming away with a first and second place. Congratulations to Callan, Paul and Shane for a first place and to Matt, Craig and Michael for second place. This shoot was a mixed handicap event, with each team comprising a compound, recurve and barebow/longbow shooter. Awarding the medals was Rob and Helen Fairweather, founding members of GSA.
Thanks to GSA for rolling out great weather, a really enjoyable course and for holding a unique event. We are looking forward to returning next year.
Well done guys.
It was so good to have you guys down, and well done on not only fording two teams, but also walking away with some medal bling!!! Well shot! It was a real pleasure to have you guys down and we're glad you had a good day! 😉🏹🏹🏹🥇🥈
Such an enjoyable day!

Alisha actually shot a 676 for her Geelong 😂

Well done Alisha proud of you love Nana
Andrea McWhorter show Ian!
Congrats all
Captures the arrow off the riser .
And I didn't even lose an arrow today! 😂
Nice shot! What this also clearly shows is that the arrow is well clear of the bow within a fraction of a second, meaning you have no chance to influence it after release - so your setup prior to release is super important.
Is there field tomorrow? I could have come today if I’d known!
Field archery … like a walk in the park , only less relaxing !

The State and National Indoor Championships are done for another year! Well done to all who competed
The club is looking for people interested in participating in the Fairweather Invitational being held by the Great Southern Archers. This event is being held by the club that held the 2021 Iron Arrow, an event so good/tough that it literally had competitors being taken to hospital. This is your chance to participate in Australia’s only team field event. If you are interested in shooting in a mixed team event, Barebow/longbow, recurve and compound, this is the event for you.
Please check your emails for an email from the club with more information.
I’m keen to shoot barebow.
Nice write up there Mr Scribe
Upside of Indoor Archery: There's no wind Downside of Indoor Archery: You can't blame the wind

The Crossbow World Postal Shoot and the 2021 Barossa Indoor Tournament were held this weekend at the clubs indoor venue at Angaston. The Crossbow event was held on Saturday and the indoor event on Sunday. There was a good turnout to both events even with the cold Barossa Weather, Thanks for Robert Whittlesea for venturing up on Sunday to Judge.
Congrats to all of the winners of the 2021 Barossa Indoor and everyone who participated. Special thanks to the parents who sat in the cold hall and supported the shoot (a few extra bottles of wine were handed out as a thank you).
Crosss Bow Winner - Graeme Hann and Deb Upright
Barebow Recurve - Marianne Reickmann and Matthew Pellew
Compound - Vicki Brady and Michael Lange
Recurve - Nola Smith and Shane Moll
It was a really great event I just wish I knew it was going to be a longer day to get the whole shoot in. Can't wait for the next one!
The club ran a field course come and try for members who hadn't shot field before. Great turn out with everyone now excited to do a full scoring round. It was great to see some of the club's younger archers- Ian, Alix and Thomas shooting and trying the more challenging targets. They all had a go at target 6. The Barossa put on fantastic weather for the morning.
Great effort today everyone, it was awesome seeing you tackle the more technical targets first time out and nailing it. It was great to see you all having fun and enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to doing it again soon. 👍
Thanks heaps for showing us the ropes with the field course! It was lots of fun! We are hooked! 😁
Please run it again. I couldn’t get there as I’m interstate
Sad I had to miss this one. Apparently the kids are entitled to their own sporting events... 🙄😂
I enjoyed that course.
well done we looks beautiful there
I miss that course...
