Welcome to the Mana Archery Club Website. We have been around for a number of years, but over the last four years we have had a new lease of life and are very active in a number of areas. For example we currently shoot both indoors (at the NZ Kennel Club) in Elsdon on a Tuesday evening, and at our outdoor range at the Plimmerton Domain on a Saturday morning. What are we about?Getting some good exercise out in the fresh air. Having a little "friendly" competition with others who enjoy shooting arrows Coaching others so that they can enjoy the sport as much as we do, and Generally having fun with bows and arrows (Safely)...more.... |
