This year the Corrival was the biggest and best it’s ever been with 80 archers in attendance. A huge credit to Gary, Glenn, Perry & Dave who organized this shoot again. Flyers were sent out early all over the land, and we had archers come from as far away as Newcastle, NSW to attend the shoot. It was great to meet the boys from Hunter Valley Traditional Archers, and with names like Garden Gnome, Master, Towball and Losty, you can imagine the larrikins that these guys are! These traditional shoots are always lots of fun and everyone seemed to have a great time from Friday through to Sunday.
With shots including the running pig (moving target), tree stand (up the ladder for some wicked downhill shots from the scaffolding), pipe shots (shooting through a big concrete pipe), speed round (shoot as many targets as you can in 30 seconds) Flu Flu, and an Iron cane toad, where you had to shoot the 10 ring or your arrow was toast, there was lots of fun and laughter on the courses.
With the scores all collated it was time for trophy presentations and I think there were a few surprised people who took out a place in their division. There were also trophies for overall highest score, for highest score in the Flu Flu, Running Pig, Tree Stand and the Speed Round. Also there were trophies awarded for the various arts and crafts that were entered in our first ever Archery Crafters Guild. Lastly the raffle, which had some fantastic prizes donated by our many wonderful sponsors. As always Glenn did a wonderful job in obtaining donations for the raffle and we had some great prizes including books, magazine subscriptions, DVD's, camping equipment and archery gear. Thank you to all of our sponsors who donate prizes year after year, and to those who donated for the first time this year. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity! Thanks also to everyone who attended the shoot, especially the guys who travelled so far....we hope to see you all again next year.
