Field Archers invite new members to try out

- GEOFF MANN MEL POCKNALL

THE Dubbo & District Field Archers is open to all ages and levels of experience. On Sunday, November 25, members enjoyed the beautiful weather for the fortnightl­y shoot.

The club welcomes families to try a different sport and has equipment available for those who want to have a go.

The Field Archers operate in a bush setting range only 15 minutes from Dubbo on Hennessy Road.

At the bi-weekly shoot, archers enjoy 20 target rounds with a sausage sizzle lunch in the middle. Meat is provided by Butchers On Macquarie to raise money for the club.

Field Archers is one of three archery clubs in Dubbo. 3D Archery meets every month, currently at the paintball range, and Indoor Archery meets each Wednesday evening in the Centenary Pavilion at Dubbo Showground.

This was the Dubbo & District Field Archers’ last shoot for the year and Mel went along to test his shooting skills. He didn’t hit a target but got plenty of photos of those skilled bow hunters who did!

Archery resumes in the city in early February and Shoot Calendars will be published in late January.

If you would like any informatio­n please text or call the club President John Carpenter on 0427 574 243.
