many thanks to our carpet suppliers - Simmons Flooring Xtra Wollongong, B&D Carpets Galore Fairy Meadow, and Warilla Carpet Court. A great bunch of people that have been helping us out for several years now!
A huge weekend with us hosting the 2026 State Field Championship. It was 2 days of shooting 24 known distance targets each day. Of course, big thanks to our members for their tremendous work to make this such a great success! From parking through field and range setup to the canteen and BBQ, organisation of the shooting assignments, and support for the shooters in the event, our club pulled together throughout. And, our biggest reward will be to do it all again next year!
Congratulations to the 15 IA archers that claimed podium finishes, and to all who participated.
See the news page for photos from the field and presentations.

Illawarra Archers is a non-profit sporting club who practice the sport of target archery at our range in the foothills of Mt. Keira. We are one of the largest archery clubs in NSW with over 200 members. We practice target, field, and indoor archery, and our members use various bow types.

We are affiliated with the Archery Society of NSW and in turn with Archery Australia and World Archery. This allows our members to enjoy the challenge and comradery of shooting tournaments throughout the country.
Our members range from Australian Representative level to the social weekend archer, families and individuals – archery is a sport for all!
Our club has some of the best facilities available to archers in Australia with the club facilities being available to members 7 days a week, and the depth of experience within the club is of great benefit to newer archers and those wishing to advance their skills.
