Our
regular club competition is held every Saturday, with shooting being at
1.30 pm, and generally finishing around 5 pm, when we then retire to
the club rooms and brag about our scores and ability. EFA members enjoy
the relaxed and friendly nature of the club.
There are 14 permanent field butts which are used for all accredited
rounds of field archery, with an extra 4 butts used for target rounds
and practice purposes.
EFA has a brick club room, with a large meeting area, a small canteen, toilets and an adjacent car park.
EFA
is in a bushland setting, with the course straddling Viaduct Creek.
Koalas are regular visitors to the eucalypts in the valley and the area
abounds with a variety of birdlife at various times of the year. EFA is
a member of the Friends of Shepherds Hill Park.
EFA is affiliated to the World Governing body of Archery, F.I.T.A. through the local organisation, ARCHERY SA,
and the National body Archery Australia. Membership of EFA includes
affiliation with these bodies, and as such, our members are welcome at
any affiliated club in the world.
Tournaments
are also conducted by ARCHERY SA, where the range is open to all
affiliated clubs and their members for a championship status.
Target clubs use our range to conduct their own particular
championships, and EFA conducts open competitions and invites all other
clubs to come and join us.
