And don't forget to mark your calendars for our end of year competition, presentations and celebrations, December 20! Some of us hope the rumour is true that 'someone' found all the wand targets and accidentally burned them and scattered the ashes behind the first target in the field course?
We have a number of Field Shoots coming up over the next few weeks. The fun of the IA Farget (12 Field targets and 72 arrows on the target range) happens Dec 14. In the first quarter of 2026 we will have Field QREs Saturday Jan 31 and Mar 7, followed by the State Field Championship 21-22 March.
