====== Manawatu Archery Club ======
**Welcome**
{{ :mac_badge.jpg?110|}}
The Manawatu Archery Club is aiming at promoting the enjoyment of Target Archery, encompassing all styles and disciplines, for all ages. It is affiliated to and encourages its members to join in Provincial ([[WAA]]) and National ([[ANZ]]) competition. We also offer [[Coaching]] to members who are keen to progress. We have an active squad of [[juniors|Junior Archers]].
The club is based in Palmerston North, at the [[venues|Riverdale Scout Hall]]. We welcome Recurve, Compound, Longbow and Crossbow archers of all levels. If you're just thinking about taking up archery, then don't delay. Sign up for one of our excellent [[Beginners]] courses and just get started on a sport that will last you a lifetime.
The club financial year commences on April 1st each year. Members joining later in the year will receive a discount. See the full details of club fees, rules and download membership forms all from our [[Rules]] page. See also our [[Uniform]] page.
**Practice, Events & Results**
If you're already an experienced archer, then we'd love to see you at one of our [[Practice]] shoots, and we would also be delighted to welcome you to any of our competitive or fun [[Events]]. We also try and publish the [[http://www.manawatuarchery.org/results/|Results]] of all our events on-line for your amusement and edification.
