Sunday
The 3D Challenge is a 20 target course shot once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The course is a new layout starting on yellow, then turning deep into the red course and finishing with a snaking section through blue and finishing at the club house. This will be an arrow friendly course with most targets having butts behind them.

this is not a normal ABA 3d. we will be trialling a seperate shooting peg for recurve and longbow set no further than of 30m. (hot tip: no shot will be at max.)

please download the flyer for all the details.

What a pity this event clashes with the Dunolly trad event which is on the same weekend.

I can endorse the 3D challange course at Lilydale Bowmen it is generally a shooters dream (Shot the last challange). Shooting amongst the Mountain Ash.. Giant Ferns.. and Creeks of the Dande's is as close to a Tradperson's paradise as you will get in Melbourne. Great new Rinehart targets and "Timbow" forced to confess his Bowmaking secrets .... Pity about the Dunolly clash.

Decisions Decisions. Do I go to my club at Lilydale 10 minutes from home, enjoy the sharing of information and then go home each night to a dry house and a warm bed or do I go to Dunolly freeze my **** off and spend the weekend with a group of traditional idiots and possibily be as wet as a shag on a rock.

Looks like I'm going to be cold and with a group of Trad Idiots.
Tony S, I was at lilydale tonight you won't believe it but Dean H was out with a long bow ( no training wheels) you never know what will happen next.
Look out Dunolly the two Tony's are coming

Its a interesting one Tony....the number of closet Tradbower's at the Club is amazing. I can think of several who stick with the wheels but bring the real bows out after dark.

..and at the christmas shoot!

you should have seen the nice 1m groups i was shooting from the 18m line.

1 metre. I don't think they were that close.
I've near seen someone draw their bow and hold it as long as you did Dean no wonder you had only 4 arrows you ran out of puff to shot 5.
You can't take the compound out of him yet. But we will try. Dean It was good to see you at it, well done.
