right have started doing archery on saturdays
making this an official thing. so if you are in palmy on a saturday and want to hoot come down to waterloo park and walk over the stop bank. shooting starts at 1pm and finishes round 3. sometimes we go longer if we dont want to stop
$2 for the shoot. covers damage to the targets and use of any equipment
would love to see archery in palmy grow.
possibly on this saturday if someone with keys shows up as i am away this saturday otherwise archery is on unless it is miserable.
if you are unsure contact me. celphone number is on my profile aswell as my email

Awesome Frosty. Good on your organising this. I hope everyone gets right behind it.
It does take some effort to get out on a cold winter afternoon, but I do hope you all do as it's no fun to run something and have nobody turn up. Besides, you know you all need the practice! I look forward to seeing a crack squad of Palmy sharp-shooters on the archery field soon.

| Just had a look on Google Earth. Looks like there are several shots 220yards+. How's the ground - stony? |

yea some good shots available. can walk backwards for longer range. only problem is we get a few more pedestrians than the range in hawkesbay.
at the moment we are shooting around 120 yards. tis a good range for the lighter bows. max for the lighter bows is just over 120
we do a few closer shoots when we cant be bothered walking haha
we use two targets shoot to one and shoot back.
people seem to be getting behind it. not sure how many sharp shooters we will have at an event though.
but i have a few more recruits for archery and some of them are outsiders which is good
we dont mind having geusts on occasion. feel free to come down and have a blat and see what your bow can really do
