Full Boar Archers Inc.
How we have fun!
At Full Boar Archers we shoot a a variety of styles on a variety of ranges.
ABA is a 20 target range of distances of varying somewhere between 5.6 to 48 meters, but we don't mark the distances, you have to guess. Junior and Cubs shoot 75% and 50% of the distances set for the Adults. The way it works is you start on the first lane and shoot up to 3 arrow, record your score, then move on to the next lane for a new challenge and target. Do this for the 20 times, have a rest and cool drink at the canteen. Then go out and do it all again but so you don't get bored and we add a bit of a challenge and you only get one chance at each target this time.
A bit more of a challenge is the 3D range, only recommended for the practiced archer or some one who can afford to loose lots of arrows. Rubber animal shapes are set between 15 and 42M but there is no back drop, miss the shoot and you will need to search for you arrow somewhere in the grass and bush behind. (Yes we do have BIG safety zones for these ranges.)
Next we have 28 target IFAA ranges out to 60yds (~55M) but we tell you how far they are this time. For competitions we use animal shapes with 2 score zones. Again shoot a few arrow on you lane, score then move on to the next lane for a new target.
If you want to practice or just want to relax, we also have a 50M range where you choose the target and the distance. Shoot as many or as few arrows as you want. Bring a friend and hire some equipment for a relax afternoon of something different.
ABOUT US
FULL BOAR ARCHERS History.
Full Boar Archers started up in the backyard of a group of Townsville locals. Back in 2013 we decided to start our own archery club and so began the long process of setting up our club and finding land.
Mid 2015 we got settled in our range at Bluewater and finally got to fully establish our club. Still being a new club means only bigger and better things are to come! Our club has the room to grow and we have new ranges planned out to build.
We are an incorporated field archery club that is affiliated with the Australian Bowhunters Association.
Field archery is one of the most enjoyable forms of archery. The health aspects of walking around in a bush environment with like minded people that enjoy the sport of Archery is a wonderful experience.
We are always looking for new club members so if your interested in being apart of our club in anyway dont hesitate to contact us or come along to our next shoot!
Several members and club position holders also hold bluecards for working with children.
