Thanks Archery NZ

The offer of tender for archery equipment from ANZ came at
a particular fortunate time for our club, as at the time we were
having to run two groups of archers on Sunday morning club
shoot in order that people could share the club equipment.
Rifle Rod & Gun Club Manawatu is a long established club based
in Palmerston North. Most clubs know us as RR&G Archery. Our
members mainly come from four schools and are aged 12yrs
to 17yrs. Because of this it was becoming increasingly difficult
to match them with bow weight and size. We have forty four
juniors at the moment and cannot see it decreasing… in fact we
have a waiting list! When Bill Reddiex approached me a couple
of years ago to help coach at the club we sat down and re
organised how best to apply coaching which would suit a yearly
intake of pupils and by our numbers it has been a huge success.
Throughout the year along with the Lions club of Rongotea,
RR&G host the rural schools in archery. We had over one
hundred children in groups of twenty have a brilliant day out
trying archery and rifles. Events like these can be difficult as we
don’t know what size the children require when they turn up.
The bows from ANZ will be of great help.
How are we progressing? Well, we are entering WAA 600 shoots
for experience and next year national competitions. If you see
us come and say hi!
Thanks ANZ for your gift and Callum for delivering the bows.

New Zealand’s female star archer Olivia Hodgson shot
herself a spot at the 2020 Olympics on day three of the
Samoa 2019 XVI Pacific Games.
It was nerve wracking as New Zealand and Australia, the
two top teams in Oceania, went head to head to win the
qualifying spot for the mixed team in Tokyo.
Olivia Hodgson and Adam Kaluzny represented New
Zealand against Australia and the Kiwis came out the
winners.
“I’m so excited, it was such a good match. Australia shot so
well but we managed to guts it out at the end. Adam shot
so well, it was real cool,” said Hodgson.
Qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics has been a humbling
experience for her and the key to the fruits of labour
today was ‘hard work.’
“Adam has too. Hard work and team work it all adds up,
all the hours spent shooting alone or training with a
teammate and putting in a hard slog definitely pays off,”
she said.
The team in the black and white jerseys went wild when
the winner of the competition was announced.
“The atmosphere was awesome, the team was so
supportive and having them behind me made such a
difference when I stepped onto the line.”
She acknowledged the people who have supported her.
“It is so cool to have a family, the New Zealand team.
Thanks to my teammates and to my coach, also my family
even though they couldn’t be here. Thanks to Samoa
for putting on an awesome event, it has been such an
honour.”
Hodgson continued: “When my now-coach, Petra, gave
me a call and asked if I wanted to do some coaching and I
said yes, but I won’t shoot. A couple of months later then I
started shooting.”
The passionate archer just arrived to Samoa earlier today
from Berlin after competing in the World Cup.
“I just love the sport. I love the focus that you need to
have and the final details that makes such a difference. In
terms on how it relates to my life, it has taught me just to
be calm and just have one goal and go for it.”

New Zealand, and we wish them all the best for the future.

Chayse had a bye first round. Chayse shot against Johannes
Maier of Germany (ranked 22) in round 2. Chayse took an early
lead. Johannes came back second end. Chayse won the 3rd.
Johannes had the 4th and they tied on points. The final end
came up and Johannes shot a perfect 30 (10,X,X) to take the set
and match.
Sam shot against Italian Viviano Mior (ranked 26) in round
2. Viviano started strong and kept the pressure up. But Sam
fought back and by the fourth end only had two points to make
up. The fifth end didn’t go Viviano’s way and Sam tied him 139
to 139. It was a shoot-off and Viviano shot a 10, while Sam shot
an 8. A valiant effort but Viviano was through and ended up out
in the 3rd round.
