It was all kinds of weather at Mountain Green Archery Club on the weekend of 25 and 26 January for the annual ADAA Target Championships event. Starting on Saturday with a 720 round, the weather was sunny and bright, but with a vicious wind that threatened to derail some good scores. Our archers prevailed, and came along on Sunday, excited for some match play action.
The weather turned squally, with downpours drenching the archers throughout the two-person match play event in the morning. The wind had become less severe which was a small blessing. The sun did come out for the afternoon individual match play, however there were still some showers which made everyone hide under the gazebos.
Huge thank you to Mountain Green for hosting this event, and for all the volunteers and Judges who helped out to make this event such a success.
We are including the list of trophy and medal recipients as well as the full match play results.
