2017 Young Achievers Award- 18/9/17
The 3DAAA committee is asking for nominations for the annual Young Achievers award. To nominate a young member, please submit in writing explaining why you think this person is worthy of winning this annual award. Email your nomination to committee@3daaa.com by 25th October 2017.
This annual award was introduced to recognise some of our outstanding young archers.
This award is not simply about performance, this award also encompasses a positive attitude towards3D archery and in particular, 3DAAA. While performing at your best is always something our Young Achiever strives for, they also understand that having fun and promoting the sport in the wider community are also important.
The award is decided by the committee after reviewing nominations made by the young archers club or a member of the association who feels the cub or youth should be recognised for their efforts with a special presentation.
This award is open to all cub and youth shooters and is presented with other annual awards at the Associations Annual Awards Ceremony following the Australian Titles in November at Nambucca Heads.

2017 SPONSORSHIPS AND INCENTIVES

The 3DAAA committee is pleased to announce some exciting new sponsorship & incentive programs.

*We are honoured to once again have Hoyt as a Platinum sponsor with the offer of a new 2018 Hoyt bow to an adult shooting member.  All adults will receive one entry for every sanctioned shoot they attend & shoot, with two entries at Nationals. The winner will be drawn   at the annual Presentation following Nationals & will be able to choose their bow from the 2018 Hoyt bow line-up.

At the 2017 Australian Championships adult members will be able to buy one (1) extra ticket per person in the draw for this Hoyt bow for $5. 

*Abbey Archery have  also confirmed their continued support of our young archers with the promise of two bows - one lucky cub & one lucky youth will again win a new bow, to be presented at the 2017 National Championship Presentation. Every time our cub & youth members shoot, their name is added to the draw. Shooting Nationals will give them two entries with the draw being conducted by random number generator.

*The incentive award for our kids will happen again in 2017. This year the prizes will be a $40 gift voucher that can be     redeemed at any of our Australian shop sponsors and a 3DAAA cap. At each sanctioned event a cub & youth will be drawn at random. To be completely fair, this can only be won once by a cub or youth in the shooting year. The winners must be present at the time of  presentations to receive the prize.

*3DAAA has once again set up a sponsorship package from archery dealers and some overseas archery manufactures to have their     logos on the score sheet for 2017. There will be a 4 level system, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze, due to the monetary value contributed by the sponsor. Part of this sponsorship will help with providing the end of year trophies and pull up banners which will be at  all sanctioned shoots. So please help support these sponsors who support 3DAAA.

*Darryl Bulger from Native Hunting Gear will again sponsor the Highest score shot at the 2017 Australian Championships in Hunter Class.

*Not to be left out, clubs will also have an opportunity to win their club a target.  The target up for grabs will be a medium sized 3D  target. To be able to win this target a club must get 5 or more shooters at a sanctioned shoot and they will get 1 ticket in the end of year  draw. The more times your club gets 5 or more shooters at a sanctioned shoot the more chances your club has of winning this target.

Clubs need to ensure that their members write down their club name on the score recording sheet, if a member of more than one club,  the archer needs to list the club of their choice.

The 2017 Nationals will not count towards this award.

The target will be awarded at the 2017 end of year presentation.
