A good showing of around 60 competitors made the journey from all over NSW to Tuggeranong to compete in the 'unmarked' course last Saturday, and the 'marked' course last Sunday.

Each course featured 24 targets of varying distances between five and 60 metres, and target sizes also ranged between 20, 40, 60 and 80 centimetres.

The event featured some high profile archers as well, with Tuggeranong's World Archery Championship bronze medallist Mick Fisher taking part, as well as Southern Highlander Diann Benson, who also competed in this year's world championships.

Monaro Archers' secretary Adam Buoro said it was great for the club to be able to host the event for the first time.

"It's the biggest event we've ever put on and its great to see so many people from all over NSW come to us, and get to know our club,"

Buoro said.

"We're an expanding club. For 25 years we arched out of Queanbeyan, but this year we opened the Bungendore range, and we hope to expand further in the future."

While most archers came from outside of Queanbeyan, local talent Toby Buoro took out the gold medal in cub barebow recurve, while Aidan Shelley won silver for intermediate compound, Greg Pierce won silver in men's open recurve, and Crae Kilby took bronze in the men's open compound.

Monaro Archers' Michael Greenland said the Tuggeranong field was tough to compete on.

"The archers had three shots each on each target for a maximum of 18 points, across varying distances and target sizes," he said.

"Especially in the unmarked competition, where they had to guess or gage what distance they were shooting at."

Monaro Archers was recently formed jointly between the Queanbeyan and Bungendore Archery Clubs, after Bungendore opened in July and the club decided it would not continue to have the name 'Queanbeyan' represent both.
