2008 Trophy Takers annual Awards - Gladstone QLD.
The recent long weekend in june saw the annual trophy takers awards held in conjunction with the traditional muster hosted by the Gladstone bowhunters club on the banks of lake Awoonga in Qld. The event was attended by about 160 shooters from Australia and New Zealand and was a great success with fantastic facilities and a challenging course full of surprises. Three members made it into the top ten shootout, Cashy, Mark Southwell and Kev Daley, not a bad effort especially when Mark and Cashy don't shoot trad bows all the time.
The awards were held on Sunday night and were attended by around 30 members. Once again the standard of displays and trophies was impressive, we had a constant stream of curious people looking through the albums and checking out the trophies all weekend. Some of the more notable awards were a new number one chital stag taken by Paul Southwell and 2 huge fallow taken by Pete Morphett and Jason Robinson, Petes fallow held the number one spot until it was beaten by Jasons monster. There is also a possible new number two red stag coming.
Pedro Lever also took out best boar, buffalo and goat for the year and best photo, scooped the pool! The next awards are to be held in Albury next year so I do your best to make it cause that event will be huge.
