Match Round
Our first Match Round was shot in August 2018. The round loosely followed the rules for the WA50m Match Round. As we received positive feedback from a number of members we hope to make this an annual event.
Tag Team Frostbite
The Tag Team Frostbite began in 2015. Club members are paired off by drawing names from a hat of experienced and less experienced club members. Archers shoot a frostbite round with their best three arrows per end counting towards the team score.
