The event will also be the final opportunity for archers wishing to contest the World Archery Championships. There will be tough competition particularly in the 20 and under men's compound division.

The NSW State team was announced two weeks ago and Armidale Archers have four of their members in this. The team consists of 10 recurve archers and 10 compound archers and range in age from 10 to 20 years old.

Ella-rose Carson and Jamie Hatch were named in the recurve team with Brodie and Josie Hatch in the compound one.

Brodie was also named team captain along with Madeleine Boyle from Penrith who will be one of the 20 and under girls to watch in her compound division.

Teams have come from across the Country and there are also four competitors from New Zealand one of whom is in the New Zealand World Championship team.

Ryley Griffiths was last week selection in the NZ team as a cadet 15 and 16 year olds even though he is still eligible to shoot as a cub archer who are 13 and under.

At the NSW Presentation night for success in 2018 Armidale archers once again performed well.
