STATE CLOUT
Debbie,
James and Gina entered the 2005 State Clout Championships held by Yarra
Bowmen, Sunday 5th June, at Trinity Grammar sports grounds.
Once again the weather gods smiled and the tournament had fine
weather. Debbie and James had
only begun shooting clout the day before, practising a round at Waverley
Archery Club.
After 6
ends, calm winds, a loooong walk and lunch, the afternoon shooting began.
This time a breeze had begun to blow, which pulled the arrows up
short.
Medals
were handed out and James and Gina received 1st place in their
divisions. Gina also setting new Victorian records for single and double
clout.
The
question now on everyones lips is will Debbie and James continue
with their new-found clouting skills and shoot next year? We
will wait and see
SHERBROOKE
FUN SHOOT
Debbie
and Gina travelled to Sherbrooke Archery Club to take part in their 2005
Fun Shoot. The format was similar to Moorabbins TV Fun Shoots held
mid 1990s. On this crisp
Sunday morning (15th May), amid the surrounding forest and
chirping birds, we started to shoot event no. 1 - the Canberra
round.
After shooting the 6 arrows in the first scoring end, an
archer was selected to draw a card out of a bucket.
This card explained how the end was to be scored, ie. Double
scoring, reverse scoring, only blue, black and white scores, bottom half
of target only scores, etc.. Then
came the doozy
shoot 6 arrows in one minute. Ahhhhh! Okay
.. Ready,
set, go! After much laughter and a few screams from Debbie and Gina, (and
a couple of Tell those two to be QUIET! from fellow archers..), all
were ready for the next end 6 arrows in 30 seconds.
If our fellow archers thought that Debbie and Gina made lots of
noise during the one minute end, well, it only got worse through the 30
second end!
After the Canberra round came event no. 2 the
100metres shoot. Closest
arrow to a picture of a $1 coin wins.
The coin-target being 100metres away.
Ginas purple arrow was closest.
Debbie had an awesome group of arrows, but was a little low on the
target. Event no. 3 was the
blackjack shoot. Shoot
2 cards on the target to see if you can get blackjack.
Both girls had a fantastic time shooting all the outrageous events
and enjoying good company.
TIM
CUDDIHY

HOW DID MAC DO AT THE 2005
NATIONALS?????
2005 NATIONALS - 2nd to
9th April 2005
The 2005 National this year hosted by
Diamond Valley Archers started off a little.
, shall we say.
., dusty.
Eat my dust literally. Day 1 was registration day, with
Victorian team member Peter Cave showing off his new white team uniform.
Opening ceremony and practise over, everyone had high hopes for the next
few days.
Day 2 and 3 saw Peter and Sandra and Jill
on the target range and Brian and Trudy on the field range. Peter and
Sandra both explained the horrendous wind and dust that blew around,
making shooting a real challenge. On the field course, Brian and Trudy
were sheltered by the trees, and therefore didnt feel the effects of
the wind as badly.
Day 4. We all breathed a sigh of relief as
the wind had dropped and the sun was out. Trudy again went bushwalking on
the 3D course, Sandra and Hans were on the target range and Gina was going
for a nice long walk (5kms!) on the clout range.
Day 5 and 6. The weather was beautiful. The
weather gods were smiling once again. It was Brian, Brett, Debbie, and
Ginas turn for target. Hans and Peter were off to the field course. At
the end of the target event, the fun event that we all were waiting for
the Iron Pig. One pig shaped piece of metal with a soft-ish spot in
the middle. The target starts at 30m and gets further away by 10metres
after each end. Miss the soft spot, and you could say bye bye to
your arrow. It was definitely fun to watch.
Day 7 and 8 saw the team matchplay and
individual matchplay.
Our members reported that they had a
fantastic time, and met some wonderful people. They also caught up with
some familiar faces and renewed some long-lost friendships.
Moorabbin would like to congratulate all
our members. Well done to the medal winners, the personal bests and the
100% effort put in by all our shooters.

2005
VICTORIAN SHORT RANGE - SUNDAY 20th. 2005
A tournament at Moorabbin usually means
wind, overcast sky, wind, rain, wind, bad weather, and, did I mention the
WIND? Archers woke up thinking that they were still dreaming - the sun was
shining and there wasnt any wind! As 125 competitors descended upon
Moorabbin to battle it out for the 2005 Short Range Championships,
conversations were cautiously dancing around the subject of the weather.
Will the weathergods smile upon us today and continue with the mighty fine
shooting conditions or will Moorabbins reputation of wild tournament
weather prevail?
After opening ceremony pleasantries,
shooting commenced. The title of Short Range champion was being hotly
contested in all divisions. As the day wore on, the temperature began to
rise and out came the bins full of ice some of which ended up down the
t-shirts of club members.
Moorabbins members shot well and once
again, many won medals for their efforts. Special congratulations to Edwin
Dilnutt, Vanna Lau and Alex Zarebski who broke tournament and minor
records in their respective divisions. Moorabbin, the team consisting of
Wally, Peter, Rick and Gina, also won the Moomba Clown Team Trophy.
Congratulations to all members who participated. Listed below (in

Congratulations to all Moorabbin members
participating in the 2 day 2005 State Target at Morwell. For those who

paper mill floated over the field on day 2. Moorabbins shooters
performed very well. Some even recording personal best scores! See below

ARROW
IN CEILING
Why did SHE shoot that arrow into the
ceiling????
This serves as a warning to anyone thinking
of borrowing someone elses equipment to try it out.
Or in our case Try It On
!!!
ROVE
LIVE
Didya watch Rove Live? Didya? Didya?
All around Moorabbins club rooms,
members were asking each other if they indeed did watch Rove Live to see
our shooting star (geddit?!) James transform into cupid on national
television. (Rove Live 15th February 2005).
The idea was simple. Cupid was to shoot a
flaming arrow into a hideous wedding dress and set it alight. All part of
a contest held by Rove Live to co-incide with St.Valentines day.
It is the right and prerogative of all brides to dress their bridesmaids
in the most horrid outfits they can find. Needless to say, some shock
dresses did arrive, accessorised by the latest in thongs and mokkies. The
production crew were looking for something yucky and flammable.
Rigorous testing held the day before
enabled our head honcho to find out which mix of combustible chemicals
worked to make the dress ignite. The result? A scorched bow and a very
hard to put out fire.
Rove had cupid, so, cupid had to have a
cheer squad. Many of our members decided to forgo their Tuesday night
indoor shooting to be at Chadstone to witness this event. Moorabbins
angels also turned up, complete with wings, halos, glow in the dark
candles and flashing stick thingies.
On the night, the television crew insisted
we use the professional pyrotechnician for safety reasons. OK. So, in
front of a couple of million television viewers, our cupid put his skills
to the test. Perfect shooting - hitting the target every time. Just one
hitch. The pyros chemicals failed to keep the flame alight for the
journey from bow to dress. No fiery dress - much to the disappointment of
James, his cheer squad, the viewing public, and the waiting fire crew who
were all eager to put something out! 3 arrows later, the pyro then tried
to set the dress alight himself. The dress finally caught alight.
Should have used Plan B (Plan Bill).
Congratulations to James. He was AMAZING!
