Club Procedures

Every Sunday morning, because we start with a blank playing surface, we have to set up the ground for archery. This means, of course, that we have to allocate every target before we can shoot.

We will use the club’s published shooting calendar for ordinary Sunday sessions. This includes most of the rounds members want to shoot.

Here is a procedure we can follow to achieve this:

1. Arrive well before 9.30am.
2. First up, the day’s schedule of rounds will be written on the whiteboard, based on the shooting calendar.
3. Before doing anything else put your name on the schedule to register for your selected round.
4. Sign the attendance book.
   • If you are a Ku-Ring-Gai Bowmen member or are registered as a member with another club, write your Archery Australia membership number.
   • If you have just finished a beginners course, you can write “Temp” for Temporary Member, or “Return Beginner”.
   • If you are an accredited visitor, write “Visitor” and a reference to your credentials.
5. Registration will close at 9.30am. Only after that can targets be allocated to numbered lanes.
6. Help with setting up, unpacking, and transporting stands and butts onto the ground, but don’t position them yet.
   • As always, check their condition and report any damage or poor condition to a committee member.
7. Once target allocation is done, set up your target in the lane allocated. Be mindful of what others are doing. Depending on your bow poundage and shooting distance, use a butt of the appropriate rating: Heavy, Medium, Light.
8. After that, prepare your own equipment before the 10.00 am start.
9. Members and visitors who arrive after 9.30am will simply have to fit into the schedule just finalised.
10. To cater for such situations, some space will be available in the allocation.
11. At the completion of the round, bring your target and stand up to the club store rooms.
