11.01.2022 Invitation shoot September 2020 CANCELLED. Due to Covid-19 and border restrictions. The committee has made the hard decision , that the club will not hold our Invitation Shoot for 2020....

The committee is willing to hold a 2day competition on the 19/20thSeptember for members ONLY ,that can attend. if there is enough interest. This will be run with similar courses and targets , with Covid-19 restrictions to be followed by attendees. If you would like to see this weekend go ahead , could you please show your interest here with a commentor pm/ call a committee person. Kind regards everyone Dickie

10.01.2022 Happy new year to all our members, we hope you all have enjoyed the break ,for the ones that could. To all our members affected by the fires , stay safe . From reports there have been a few close calls. Marg will be sending out a news letter shortly with the new shoot calendar for 2020, this will also have a date for our first working bee to kick the year off. Our Trad shoot in March we come around quick , so February will be a busy month for the club . I hope all members can... help out in readiness for this weekend . Regards Dickie See more

10.01.2022 A fantastic weekend was had by all at this years Invitation Shoot. Saturday saw 68 archers take on a 40 target 3D course, with some challenging shots testing the best of us. The afternoon was filled in with novelty events for the big and little kids , sack races and V shoot for the little ones amongst others. The big kids had fun on the flu-flu , long shot , running pig , V shoot and Bottle shooting. With shooting finished, everyone relaxed around the fire till dinner was ...served up and what a feast it was!!! Chicken and veggie soup to start, Camp oven venison, pork and veggie plus a whole lamb cooked on a rake and to finish the famous homemade desserts. With full bellys , the camp fire was a popular spot to finish off the night. Sunday saw 2x20 safari rounds to finish the weekends shooting, then onto the raffle draws and presentations. On behalf of TCB , thank you to all the visitors for spending the weekend with us, we hope you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks to all the sponsors for your continued support.
