Thought I would bring it to your attention, Archery and more importantly longbow is included. Fita and Ifaa field aswell as clout.
The age categories start at 30-39 so even young handsome guys like myself can compete.

You can pre register your interest in the event on the website.

Thanks Steve

And for older not so handsome guys like myself it's also got some appeal

. Wonder if the FITA field and clout will be wooden arrows if it's an international event. IFAA is a great challenge with a longbow, even bigger challenge with my 30lber

. Was there any 3D?

Got off my tail and found a website and can answer my own questions:

Longbow is to be shot under Archery Australia rules so will be able to use aluminiums in clout

.

Will be interesting to see if AA rules apply to IFAA where the rules stipulate wooden arrows.

Didn't know we already had a historical divsion. Its something I've hoped for, hpoe its been well thought out.

Hi Grahame, on the official site there is no mention of histerical bow rules, i wondered where you found that until I saw your Archery forum post and looked on the supplied link. They must have it wrong. Steve

From the immediately preceding post.

I tend to agree and thanks for that.

This makes more sense.

Competition Details:

Equipment Divisions

Freestyle Recurve (FITA/IFAA Rules)
Barebow Recurve (FITA Rules)
Longbow (Archery Australia Rules)
Barebow Compound (Archery Australia Rules)
Freestyle Compound (FITA/IFAA Rules)
Freestyle Limited Compound (IFAA Rules)

Target Events

Archers must shoot under the equipment and event rules as stipulated by FITA or IFAA, depending on the event. There will be separate sections for each age group and bow types. All events are individual.

Field Events

The competition will be shot over two days. Two courses will be set, one based on FITA Rules and one on IFAA Rules.

Certainly an IFAA class these days Jason and I noticed big entries in a European comp last year. Not in the ABA rulebook I got within the last year and other than longbows haven't seen other trad bows at ABA comps in Sourthern NSW. Unlike AA, longbows seem not to be on the increase in ABA comps.
