They do have a shoot each year and call it something like the "Queensland Traditional Bowhunters Rendezvous". I haven't been for quite a few years now though. I went to the first couple and we had a great time.

If you find some info out Buford we might be able to have a Ozbow get together there as well. Don't know if they would be ready for something like that though.

Mr Recurve do you have any further info?

According to http://caboolturebowmen.3daaa.com/ on there 2006 calender, NAFA Traditional Rendezvous at Nth Albert on 15 April.
NAFA have a web site http://www.northalbert.com/ BUT their calender is 2 years out of date.

One of my pet hates is web sites that are out of date or do not exist.

Also there is a 2006 calender at
