The Easter Long weekend saw youth from all over Australia competing a variety of events
Indoor, Field and Target
It was held at the Tuggeranong Archery Club and clearly a great job by all the organisers and volunteers who made it possible.
Congratulations to all the participants, our sport is in good hands and its future looks great.
