Field QRE was held this morning. Only a small group of 6 shot. As usual the Barossa put on great weather. Thanks to Bailey Wildman for making the 75minute trip out for his first time giving the BAC field course a try.
Don't forget we are going to schedule a field shoot the last Saturday of each month.
Good to know, need to get back into field, it's been a while
When is next club shoot guys
The State Target Championship was held at Mylor today ( also being used as the National Target Championships). The weather was wet and windy but there was still a large turnout of about 70 shooters. The club had three members shooting and walked away with three medals. Congratulations to Matt Pellew who came first in the Masters Male Barebow Recurve with a score of 1005 for the WA 60/1440. Michael Lange received first (score 1356) and Grant Herrmann third (score 1331) in the Master Male Compound 70/1440.

GB shooting......
Craig Perry sorry but you need a better camera
Have you ever been standing on our shooting line , gazing off into the distance beyond the 70mtr mark and wondering what may be beyond the hill ? Or have you ever looked right while collecting your arrows and wondered what is beyond the bend in the creek ? Well tomorrow is your opportunity to find out at our monthly field shoot . Join us at 9 am at Archery Road for a field round of discovery !
Are there dates for a Dec Jan shoot? I'm. Heading home for Christmas I'd love to shoot it again...
All 10 lanes in use this morning @barossa.archery.club #archery #recurvearchery
It is indeed a nice problem to have.
Tania Rothe and Lee Rothe - Fairly long You tube video but this guy is really good. You can see the amazement on his face. To be noted - he shows "Dennis Rothe Memorial Shoot" Medal for 2021.

Inaugural Dave Allery Field Shoot, it was a beautiful day to find out who would be the 1st to have their name burnt onto the Trophy. Ben Kilsby travelled all the way from Mt Gambier and it was worth while, taking out the overall result with a score of 376. Craig Perry 1st in Male Recurve 218 and Jenny Semmler Female recurve 124. A great time had by all. This was part one of two events held at the Barossa Archery Club, the 2nd event is the Dennis Rothe Memorial on Sunday.
What a great Trophy. Well done Craig x
Great shots! Sorry I missed it, looks like it was an excellent day. Congratulations to all.
Congratulations Dave. X
Great pictures. I'm looking forward to coming back to bac in the new year when I'm home to visit. Hopefully there is a shoot on.
Congrats Dave Allery very proud of you xx
I would have been there, except I am nursing a suspected Epigastric Hernia 😔
Well done Dave having a trophy in your name
Well done
See you tomorrow morning guys
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.
Its that time of the year again. Buy your tickets in the Peoples Choice Credit Union to win great prizes while supporting the Barossa Archery Club. 100% of all our ticket sales are ours to keep.

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.

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?
Luke Matthews
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!
Congratulations guys
Congratulations.

What an eventful week! Congratulations to all of you folk marking new territory!
Alisha actually shot a 676 for her Geelong 😂
Congrats. I see not only Oma gets your name wrong.😁
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 !
#fieldarchery #fieldarcheryaustralia #barossa

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
