League Night

Our Woodley Park Archers League Night offers members and non-members alike the opportunity to come on Thursday evenings from 6 – 8pm and shoot in a casual and friendly 300 Round Competition, the standard competition format for Indoor Season shooting. A 300 Round is 10 ends of 3 arrows each for a total of 30 arrows and maximum score of 300 points shot at a 40cm target face. The Competition is held on our 18 meter Short Range. There are several divisions, Barebow, Olympic and Compound and archers in each category shoot against one another.

The competition is run by a WPA Member who is a Certifed Instructor and serves as Range Master and Director of Shooting. League Night is free and 40cm target faces are available for purchase. Target pads and pins are required. No equipment or supplies are provided. Competitors must have their own equipment and supplies.

League Night is the very best way of getting started in competition.
