25.01.2022 That awkward moment when the tree has been hit more than the target!

24.01.2022 A trip down memory lane..

24.01.2022 Update .... the forecast temperature now for Sunday is 44 degs. Please be advised that we will be preparing lunch early this Sunday. There will only be 50 Hamburgers & 50 Hotdogs. I will be taking your orders when you sign in. Please purchase your raffle tickets early as we will be calling it as soon as lunch is over. Cold drinks will be available @ $2 each.

24.01.2022 A much quieter October long weekend.

23.01.2022 Hi, club, I’ve been shooting now on and off for about a year and it’s time for an upgrade I’m looking to buy a 40pound recurve to replace the metal monstrosity... I’ve loaned from my dad. Looking for recommendations as to where to buy or if anyone has a secondhand one they want to offload. Unfortunately at this point My budget is less than $300. I’m currently considering this epic hawk takedown from cartel See more

23.01.2022 Received this message just now... Hi Trish, Emma's funeral is on Monday at 2pm at Lake Macquarie memorial park Ryhope Any club members are welcome to attend

22.01.2022 The targets are out and so are the mozzies!

22.01.2022 Keith and I finally received this today.. Better late than never.

22.01.2022 HVTA will not be holding the "Gathering" this coming June Long Weekend. The Committee will be having a meeting to discuss future club shoots but at this point in time, the club remains closed. We have our fingers crossed that the October Long Weekend shoot will go ahead. Stay tuned, stay safe...we will be back.

22.01.2022 Another topic from our AGM. It was decided that there will be no "Andy Firth" memorial shoot in March next year or any year after. All fallen comrades will be remembered at all Charity Shoots.

22.01.2022 It is with deep sadness to inform you that a former club member, Emma Berwick,(Bandit) passed away on Monday July 6th from liver complications. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. R.I.P Emma

22.01.2022 Today we held our AGM. The main topic was the "Charity Shoot" We received a letter from NSW Health. * Cease any activities that result in overnight stays. * Cease activities that result in the mixing of participants from different regions. * Cease face-to-face social activities relating to community sports.... So, the Charity Shoot will not go ahead this year. The HVTA committee remains the same. As you can see by the photo's, it was a great day to be outdoors. Our next shoot will be September 13th

21.01.2022 A wonderful turn up for our last shoot for 2020. The weather was a little too hot and very gusty. We only had the novelties up and running and I'm sure everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you to those who helped out with the cleaning of the canteen so that we could prepare lunch. Thank you to those who helped cook and serve. It is greatly appreciated.... Thank you all for being a part of our club. Hoping that 2021 will be a better year and that we get to hold our 2 major shoots, The Gathering June Long weekend and the Charity Shoot, October long weekend. Our calendar is available to download on our web page. We at HVTA wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

13.01.2022 This archer was never beat in competition. Won 196 archery tournaments in a row. Every day of his life Howard Hill seemed to be breaking some kind of record. In... order to shoot before the United Nations at the age of 65, he still commanded $5,000 for a 30 minute show, plus round trip air fare first class. I know because I carried him to Birmingham to catch the plane and then later that evening drove back there to pick him up. What did I get? Well the best T-bone steak found at a restraunt in town, cooked medium rare, the way he liked his too. As we walked out the front door of the restraunt, I thanked him for the great steak meal with all the trimmings, including a glass of Southern sweet ice tea. Howard Hill said, "mine was pretty good too","cooked just right", "even if I did have to go all the way to Washington to get the money to pay for it including the tip for the waitress! Then we both had a good laugh and he said, "lets go home, I miss Libba". Jerry Hill See more

13.01.2022 Today, this lovely lady is celebrating her 21st, Emma you have grown up before our eyes. Congratulations Happy 21st from all your HVTA family.

13.01.2022 A great turn up out at the club today. A lot of new faces which is wonderful to see. Our next shoot is October 18th. Next weekend, being the long weekend would have been our Charity shoot ...and looking at the weather it's going to a warm one...a big difference to what this weekend was. All fingers crossed we will be able to hold the Gathering and Charity shoots next year. A reminder that Daylight Savings begins on the long weekend, so put you clocks forward on Saturday night Oct. 3rd before going to bed. See you all in 3 weeks.
