YOUTH ARCHERY SHOOTS
There are two sessions held on Saturday mornings just for our club's youth members. Participants need to book for a session each week via the online booking form. The shoots include Archery NZ and ADAA youth postal competitions, as well as the club's own rounds, plus the occasional team fun tournament.
Archers for the first session should arrive at 8am for an 8.30am-9.30am shoot. Archers for the second session should arrive at 9.30am for a 10am-11am shoot. Please ensure you arrive in time to set up your equipment!
We don't currently run a holiday club, although it is under future consideration.

WANT TO SHOOT MORE?
Youth archers can come to the Saturday and Sunday afternoon shoots to practice different distances and gain more experience, including club Achievement rounds. Arrival time varies but is often 1pm-4pm on Saturdays and 1pm-3pm on Sundays.
However, shoots can sometimes be longer. Please keep an eye on the Shooting calendar for an idea of distances and times to shoot.
Also check the Shooting calendar to ensure the club is open, as sometimes the range is closed for a tournament. Alternatively, club members can join the Members-only Facebook group as keyholders will notify when the range is open at other times.

WHAT OUR JUNIORS & THEIR PARENTS SAY
Youth archery Saturday morning is well run and well communicated.
My son is a youth archer so keen for the junior coaching...as I have finally found a sport he loves.
Fantastic group of people willing to give up their time and advice. Very professionally run.
