WA - Archery Cup Final

The Archery Society of WA held its Cup Final for 2009 on the high profile foreshore of the Swan River. The venue was spectacular with the city of Perth skyline as a backdrop.

The top 16 Compound and Recurve archers in the State were invited to attend the event. All responded with great enthusiasm.

The program consisted of a ranking round of 72 arrows in the morning and a Matchplay in the afternoon. Matchplay pressure got to some with one archer shooting on the wrong target. Others excelled under the stress.

Commentary for the event was conducted by Keith Gaisford which drew in passing spectators.

Also bringing in the public was the Come N Try section that gave over 100 people the opportunity to try the sport. Many of these kept coming back for seconds and many brochures for clubs were passed on.

The day ended with the annual awards ceremony, a bite to eat from onsite caterers and a few beers.

General consensus from archers that participated is an end if year final such as this has motivated them into striving to make the grade next year.


A coaching camp was held between 25th and 28th June 2009 in Baldivis, at which 52 people attended. Most were live in for the weekend, but a few came on a daily basis.

Australian Head Coach, Simon Fairweather (Olympic Gold Medallist)attended the camp to coach Recurve archers and Clint Freeman (World Champion) flew from Tasmania to coach Compound archers. Having coaches of such a high calibre was made possible by the Department of Sport & Recreation and their Coach in Residence Funding Grant. This was Clint’s second visit to Perth to impart his vast knowledge to our Compound archers.

Daniel Tew provided valuable fitness instruction and a Sports Nutritionist gave a lecture on maximising performance for tournaments through diet.

Simon and Clint were extremely approachable and provided interesting insight to their world class wins. The stormy weather didn’t hinder the weekend, as the program was flexible”.
