Oh no… I forgot to update this during the excited preparation for spring war…

I spoke to the manager at Homebush Archery Centre again on Thursday last week while I was picking up my bow and new strings. He seems to have changed his mind about letting us use the range and a couple of his Targets for wooden arrows. For those of you that haven’t been to the Homebush Archery Centre, it’s a great site as it is well… perfect for Archery.

I spoke to the manager there when I started looking into running an IKAC shoot on a regular basis, as I’m a little uncomfortable with large quantities of people shooting at the St Peters site. First time I spoke to him, he seemed against the idea, and told me outright that he wouldn’t allow wooden arrows to be used on his targets. However I think the idea of having an extra 10 or 15 people coming to the site on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon appealed to him, not only will it bring business to the cafe, but also to the archery shop.

This of course works well for all of us. The Cafe can provide an easily accessable lunch/afternoon snack, and the archery shop can help our archers with bow and arrow maintainence. These plans will probably be working towards starting IKAC at Homebush in 2007, So Novembers IKAC for Rowany will still be held at St Peters (and there MAY be a December one as well).

Though this isn’t an official “OK”, and may need to be run by the Baron and Baroness, as there will be fee’s and sign-in to the Archery Centre. It’s a step towards a safe and archer friendly environment for active Rowanite Archers… And Also… ;) It provides us with a recruiting ground so that we can recruit some exceptional archers who might be interested in shooting IKAC for Rowany. Can anyone say Ringer? ;)
