Once again the club’s juniors showed their ability, and seemingly infinite potential, by dominating the annual Walkabout Shoot over the weekend.

Channelling their inner Legolas, of Lord of The Rings fame, the ODBC juniors took accuracy with a bow to another level on a muggy, sticky Lower Lewis Ponds course.

Shooting in the first Australian Bowhunters Association Branch F (southern NSW and ACT) event of the year, ODBC juniors Matt Kearney, Ryan Schick, Ash Press, Cameron Pasquali, Madison Schick and Nick Wells all dominated their respective divisions, bringing home six first place plaques between them.

Competing in the cubs event, Madison Schick won the ABA event on Saturday with a score of 640 out of 800, before Wells took out the 3D event with 666 yesterday.

Kearney earned a second place on each day in the junior A division, beaten only by world champion Peter Hearn, from Eurobodalla, with 720 and 716 in the ABA and 3D events respectively.

Ryan Schick earned two winner’s plaques in C grade with 700 and 744, while Press collected a second and a third with 608 and 658 also in C division.

Pasquali won his freestyle unlimited B division ABA and 3D categories  with 758 and 726 respectively.

In the seniors, Donna Schick came second in the freestyle unlimited with 652, Kearney won her first top prize in the bowhunter unlimited with 614 and Robyn Newstead came first in barebow C division ABA and 3D, scoring 318 and 182 respectively.

Of the ODBC men, Jason Cummings won two first places in freestyle unlimited C division (734 and 734), Nigel Livingstone earned two second places in the bowhunter unlimited B division (744 and 696), Phil Delfox did the same in freestyle unlimited B division (742 and 734) and Nigel Sethack got two thirds in freestyle unlimited B division with 720 and 734.
