Re NORTH ALBERT RULES;

As North Albert Field Archers is a 3D AAA club we are bound by their rules.

Please note the following when on the shooting ranges;

2. Suitable footwear should be worn at all times. Footwear should provide adequate protection of the feet and be suitable for easy movement over difficult terrain. Bare feet, thongs or similar open footwear is not acceptable.

3. Clothing suitable for the sport is to be worn with safety in mind, including visual safety, being the most important consideration.

Bush/jungle type camo is out.

Daryl.

Once again another great Trad shoot put on by the North Albert Club. On Saturday we had 2 field courses, speed round, hunt round, rolling disks and moving target with one of the club members throwing the disks for the bow bird event. There were some showers on Saturday evening so shooting the field course on Sunday was a little cooler.
A big Well Done and Thank You to all from the club who were involved in the setting up and running of this great event.
Here are photo's of some of the targets. I will put up scores will be put up as soon as they are available.

cheers

a big THANK YOU to the whole crew at NAFA for a great trad shoot… challenging targets, great food, fabulous camaraderie all added up to a great weekend.

Shame my shooting was so ordinary… but a great time was had by this archer and everyone I spoke to as well.

Thanks again for putting on such a great event.

Top marks to the committee and members of North Albert for putting on a fantastic weekend.

The range setters did an excellent job and the canteen people made sure that all were well fed and watered.
