Clare Reuther by Jeff Nicoll

Clare at 15 is rapidly making a name for herself and not just amongst the junior archers but in the open class as well.

At the recent City of Adelaide Open WA60/900 she came second only to Nicky Stuut with the second best recurve score overall; yes they both beat all of the men!

In the process Clare broke the Cadet and 20 & Under records that had stood since 2000 and 2001 respectively.

Clare took up archery when she attended a beginners’ course in May 2012. She was soon spotted as a talent and started attending special coaching sessions run by her coach Graham Winston.

In 2013 she came second in the State Target Championship and won the State Indoor in the Intermediate division. She was 8th overall in the National Indoor.

2014 saw Clare in Brisbane representing Australia in the Trans-Tasman Challenge where she was second in the intermediate female division.

In a busy year she competed in the Youth Nationals in Adelaide where she was third in target and field.

She also went to Geelong where she competed in the Open Nationals where she finished a very creditable 20th in the short course target and 19th in the WA70/1440.

Clare attends the club Saturday morning AJADs programme and was awarded the Errol Scott Trophy as the most outstanding junior archer of 2014.

She also attained the Archery Australia Elite Bronze then the Elite Silver awards during the year a truly outstanding effort.

Clare’s bow is a Hoyt GMX riser with W&W Ex-Power limbs. She shoots Easton X-10 arrows at target and indoor and Easton Carbon One arrows at field and clout. Her sight and plunger are by Shibuya and the stabilisers by Fivics.

Like a lot of us Clare has been inspired by 2000 Olympic Gold Medallist, Simon Fairweather and Korea’s Gold medallist Park Sung-Hyun.

I think that Clare might be starting to create some inspiration of her own!

REMINDERREMINDERREMINDER

A quick reminder not to leave Archery Gear or Personal belongings unattended by the Clubrooms when practising at the Club. In the past tackle has gone missing. Take your gear with you to the line.

GARY EVANS GARY EVANS GARY EVANS --- LINK TO LARS ANDERSONLINK TO LARS ANDERSONLINK TO LARS ANDERSON

Thank you to Gary Evans who has forwarded the following link to Lars Anderson, a Danish archer who claims to have rediscovered ancient proficiency with bows. Gary found this fascinating and thought other members in the Club may be interested.

On a recent Longbow Wooden Arrow Thursday morning shoot Mythbusters were proven wrong (they said an arrow could not be split) when Pam Pettman had her arrow expertly split by an arrow loosed by Bradd Owens.

....and while on the subject of Dean, thank you to Chris Drown who submitted the following article on Dean’s all gold end.

Date was 31 January 2015. The round was a Drake (30 metres on the small face) Bow type was longbow (one of Joe Vardon's of course) Archer was Dean Pettman. Score was X 10 10 10 9 9, for an all gold 58 I know it doesn't work this way, but rating for the single end - low 90's. Even Dean was happy with that and it was special to see.

As depicted in the recent film “The Imitation Game”, the Telegraph crossword 5,062 of 13 January 1942 was used to select possible candidates for the code breakers at Bletchley Park during WW2. This crossword has sparked some interest among our members, none of whom has achieved the target of solving the Telegraph crossword 5,062 in under 10 minutes. Even teams of archers, including in some cases, cats and dogs, have taken weeks. Adelaide Archery Club presents our own archery enigma for your delight and delectation. We cannot offer you a place among the codebreakers but if you solve this crossword in under 10 minutes you are probably able to reason out whether you shoot above or below the target when shooting uphill. Between 20 minutes and 2 hours, you are able to staple scoresheets in the correct order and follow the State Recorders instructions for field shooting. Between 2 hours and a week, you probably shoot longbow anyway. If you haven’t solved it in a week you might enjoy using your crayons to colour each white square a different pastel colour to make a pleasing pattern.

BUTT KEY REGULATIONS

Members who hold butt keys have recently been given the following information. If you hold a key and have not received your copy please see a Committee Member.

ALL archers who come to the club to shoot outside of programmed shoots MUST sign the Shooting Book on arrival.

They MUST open the safety signs. (ALL signs including those behind the Safety Fence).

Any archer who opens up the field and wishes to leave while other archers are still shooting MUST verbally hand over the field to another archer who has a key to the butts.

If an unknown archer turns up to shoot their CURRENT AA Affiliation card MUST be sighted to ensure they are covered by insurance. If they do not have their card with them they MUST NOT shoot.

If the archers are not members of AAC then a visitor’s fee MUST be paid. The butt key holder should collect the fee and give it to the club next time they can get into the Clubrooms.

If a family has a butt key, then ALL members of that family MUST watch the Safety Presentation.

Remember our grounds are situated on Parkland and always be aware of Members of the Public.
