Bullseye! NZCT Grant Hits the Mark for Thames Valley Archery Enthusiasts.

“The new 3D targets and inserts will be great for our upcoming tournament and the club in general. We host all manner of events at TVDA (including club days, practice days, inter-club events, coaching days, and open days), as well as helping out at school galas, fun days, corporate events, and team building days throughout the year.”

New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) has awarded a $6,880 grant to the Thames Valley Branch of the NZ Deerstalkers Association (TVDA) for the acquisition of 3D archery targets and additional 3D inserts. This funding enables them to host the National Bowhunters Tournament on King’s Birthday weekend, providing a significant boost to the local archery community.

Branch President Maureen Coleman said “We are very proud to host the NZ Bowhunters National Tournament which sees keen and dedicated archers and bowhunters from all around the motu travel to our venue for the King's Birthday weekend event. Adults and juniors alike all mix and mingle together, the expanded learning opportunities are immense and it's a fantastic way of helping to instil many social skills in the process of learning the finer techniques of the sport.”
