Archery NZ Match Play Test Event, November 28th 2010
Hosted by Auckland Archery Club

INVITATION TO ALL ARCHERY NZ AFFILIATED ARCHERS

Introduction:
FITA have made several important changes for archery competition formats. The new Set System, the
Compound Round, and Mixed Teams were introduced. In order to provide „hands-on‟ training in the new format
for both judges and archers, the Archery NZ Judge Commission will run a training session, comprising a series of
individual and team shoots, open to both compound and recurve, senior and junior.

Venue: The Auckland Archery Club has kindly agreed to host the event on Sunday 28th November.
Start Time: 9 am (please remember to bring your own lunch and drinks; Auckland Archery Club may also run a
sausage sizzle and tea and coffee will be available).

Entry details:
Entry is open to all Archery NZ affiliated archers. As it is a training event for both archers and judges there will be
no fee, but it also means that it is not a registered tournament and therefore no records can be claimed. We will
be testing the new set system for Match Play and hope to run both individual and team rounds. We will probably
need to mix and match compound and recurve, senior and junior, but where possible we will try to arrange
appropriate groups.

If you wish to take part please register your entry by November 19th with Ann Powley, Judge Administrator. Entry
details will be posted on the Archery NZ website.

FITA field round. This was registered with FITA as an Neil Randell
Arrowhead round which means that archers who
reached the required score could claim FITA
Arrowhead Awards. Everyone appeared to enjoy the
round with some very good scores shot.
Congratulations to Ben, Kevin, Austen and Neil who
set NZ records for their respective divisions and other
archers who shot personal best scores. Saturday lunch
was provided, a barbecue which went down well as it
was getting a bit cold by that stage. In the afternoon a
12 Target silhouette animal round was shot. This was
at marked distances but with only one arrow scoring.

Sunday saw a few less archers compete in a special
20 Target 3D round, with 2 arrows per target (10, 8, 5
scoring). The course was challenging without being too
difficult.

In her article in Issue 499 (May/June) Linda Lainchbury
said that she was off to Dahn in Germany to bring back a
gold medal from the IFAA Field Archery World

True to her word she did. This made it her 2nd world title in
12 months and she broke two NZ records in the process.

In the AFFU Freestyle Unlimited - Adult - female division,
she was first out of 29 competitors beating Inge Enthovan
