The official competition season (or outdoor season) is from Labour Weekend until Easter Weekend, although we shoot all year round and hold some competitions during winter. Like many other clubs in New Zealand, Auckland Archery Club hosts both registered and postal tournaments, especially over the summer season. These include tournaments specifically for youth archers, including the College Sport competition for Auckland secondary schools during Term 1 each year.
Please check the Shooting Calendar below for details, or visit ArcheryOSA.com for national events and the Auckland District Archery Association website for district events.
Results and photos from past events can be found on our Facebook page.

Auckland Archery Club is based in Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill Domain, and is subject to daylight savings park hours.
In Winter these are 7am to 6pm.
In Summer these are 6am to 9pm.
Keyholders may shoot at any time. Winter evening shooting should be restricted to inside the clubhouse. Archers are asked to park at Sorrento (outside the gates) to avoid being locked into the park.
If the club is hosting a tournament or competition, the club may be closed to casual member shooting. Please check our shooting calendar below for the dates of these events. Event entries will also be emailed to you by our Club Captain in our weekly newsletter.
If there is an event on, members may come to watch. If a keyholder is in attendance, they may be permitted to shoot indoors, dependent on space and safety.
