MOUNTAIN ARCHERS

Mountain Archers are a Target Archery Club run by volunteers and based in Mt Victoria, Blue Mountains NSW, Australia. We shoot on Sunday mornings at Browntown Oval in sunny Mt Victoria, with thanks to Blue Mountains City Council for providing the venue, Browntown Oval and Blackheath Rotary Club for providing the clubhouse.

Lithgow Ironfest

Mountain Archers ran 3 days worth of Come 'N Try Archery Classes at the Lithgow Ironfest recently over the Anzac Day Long Weekend. It was a good club effort and the money we raised will go back into club equipment. Thanks to all involved! Some great photos were taken by club member Jessie Girard, see our Ironfest section and Photos section.

Lithgow really comes alive during this weekend with bands, buskers, Lithgow Pipe Band, Ballroom Dancing, Belly Dancing, Choirs, Art and Craft, Public Executions and Blacksmithing Workshops.

It really is a great alternative to modern day amusement parks and commercial expos.

Hope to see you there next year!
