Hi Sue,

Lakeside have published their 2013 Calendar and it shows the Jules Shield to be on 13 - 14 July 2013 so you can firm up one more date.


best rgds,
Tom

Just had Gladstone confirmed too........ thanks. I haven't put the actual "name" of the shoot, so if this causes anyone confusion, please let me know and I can add the shoot names for those of you new to the site.
Gunna be a great year for Trad.

cheers
sue

Hinterland Trad shoot now confirmed.

cheers
sue

Sigh. still nothing in Perth then?
I might have to do something about this.... how many people would be interested?

Hey SoulArcher

I know there are a few Trad Archers in Perth,and have met a few of them. Perhaps you should look at your local area first. Then once a shoot is up and running you would be surprised how it grows, and then we can catch a plane over to it later, once established, as 2013 is pretty busy on the east coast.
Good luck, and let us know how you go.

cheers

Thanks mate. I will have to look into it. I know a few Mobile archery people so that might be an option. We will see. Just need to find a place to do it in.

Its a bit hard to work in around the ABA and other local shoots, this year we sort of got squeezed out of 2012.

Thats why we got in very early for 2013.

If possible we try for a date in November, I will talk about November 2013 out at bow club tomorrow and we will see if we can fit it in.

Will let you know when I know

HI SUE
THANKS FOR PUTTING THE TRAD SHOOTS ON THE WEB SITE.
THERE ALL ALONG WAY FROM PERTH BUT WE ARE HOPING TO GET TO ONE OR TWO THIS YEAR. HOWEVER IT MEANS WE WONT BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO NORFOLK ISLAND IN 2013.
SO MANY SHOOTS SO LITTLE TIME.

Lilydale Trad shoot September dates have now been confirmed.

Was speaking to someone today who mentioned there is another club in QLD not too far fronm Brisbane also looking at holding a Trad shoot too............. It just gets better.

cheers
sue

Hi Sue,
Its great that you have gone to all the trouble of putting together a trad shoot calendar for all of us. I guess you are our unofficial coordinator.
Sue do you know if at the trad shoot at Wisemans what the equipment / bows / arrows requirements / restrictions are?
Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian,

You have just given me an idea - oh yes I know, now I have a headache - anyhoo.
The flyer for Wisemans is the Traditional Archery Get Together in Traditional Events, which has most of the info - short version - longbow, recurve, horsebow, selfbow, warbow, (basically no wheels) timber arrows - many and varied events. Great shoot to get to.

Where are you in the scheme of this great wide land.

I can also email you a flyer if you like.

cheers
sue

added with edit - as each club puts their flyer on the site, I will link it to the "calender" above

Hi Sue,
Re your post regarding the equipment eligible for theWiseman Ferry Trad shoot. I emailed Robert McKenzie regarding the type of arrows that can be used. His answer was.There is no restriction on arrows, but if you feel you are good enough to be in the top 10, timber arrows are needed.
I am planning on using carbon arrows. Its a long way to come and find that I have the wrong arrows.

Cheers Jo

Hey Jo, that'd be great, ya goin' to bring Gary with you? It is a great shoot and well worth the trip, I guess you'll be flying, so you never know who might pick you up from the airport.

Yes with Wisemans you are allowed to shoot carbons and aluminiums, however only timber arrows are eligible in the Top 10.

cheers
sue

i can send you a panadol for your headache,

Hi Sue,

Yes of course I'll be bringing Gary. ( I need someone to carry the bags and string my bow!) We will be flying as havent got time to drive over unfortunately. We are planning to hire a campervan so that we have somewhere to stay.


Cheers Jo

PS. Brian and Rob said to say hello.

If its of any use here is the calendar in an ICS format.
Sue let me know via msg if you change anything and ill try to keep it up to date

Hey Jo,

and a big hello back to them....... Having the campervan, you'll be able to tootle around as well, if you have a bit of time.

Thank you Mark, meant to do that the first time - but you know....... it's a blonde thing.

cheers
sue

G'day Sue,

I got an email from Jenny from Barambah Bowhunters today and their shoot date has been changed to the 11th & 12th of May. Attached is a PDF for the shoot also. If you wish to start a separate thread on this shoot please do and I can add the PDF file to it.

Jeff

Hey Jeff, I was just about to do that. Thank you for making the file smaller I was wondering how I was going to do it... we can't have me thinking too much at this time of night.....
I will start a new thread and put the flyer on it and change the date up the top too.

cheers
sue

No probs. Yeah the file was a tad big and don't worry it had me thinking for a bit on how to make it smaller also.

Jeff

TTT

There are only 50 sleeps to go..... to the North Albert Trad shoot, and the flyer is currently a work in progress. A spokesperson from the club has assured me, the shoot is definately on.

cheers
sue

I have altered the Trad calender for Wisemans Shoot reschedule, with new flyer.

It has come to my attention that someone is misinforming people the Gympie Trad Shoot is not on this year.

This is INCORRECT - the shoot will be on Sept 28/29 as noted in above "calender " dates. I have a provisional flyer for anyone would like a copy.

I really have no idea how these rumours start, all I know is they are annoying.
Hopefully, this one may have been stopped early yby someone actually checking with the club themselves.

cheers
sue

Does anyone have an update for the Tully shoot please?

Cheers..... Rod

Nope mate I've got absolutely nothing, and believe me, it's not from lack of trying on my part.

cheers
sue
