Archery - The Family Sport
Field archery is one of the most enjoyable forms of archery. The health aspects of walking around in a bush environment with like minded people that enjoy the sport of Archery is a wonderful experience.
There is a structured coaching program to make sure that you will be taught the correct way to do archery so that you can have years of enjoyment with the sport, it is also a sport that can be enjoyed by all people. The variety of equipment available makes sure that all people from all walks of life can be catered for. Why not give it a go and enjoy the outdoor bush settings with friendly people.
5th August - Covid-19 Recent Outbreaks
The National Executive would like to thank you for your continued support and patience throughout these Covid-19 times.
Over the last couple of months, we have been relishing in the opportunity of returning to the range / hunting grounds with the easing of the Covid-19 restrictions. Unfortunately, with the recent outbreaks in Victoria and New South Wales some of these restrictions have once again been tightened in certain states.
It is imperative all Members, Clubs and Branches react accordingly to the change of restrictions for insurance purposes. All archery activities must comply with the current Federal, Local State / Territory government legislation and directives.
Be vigilant about health and hygiene to minimise the risk of spreading infection by following the recommended hygiene practices.
Please do not hesitate to contact the office (Office Manager) with any questions.
Kind regards,
Tony Hartcher
National President
