Mercury Bay Archery Club

"Formed in 2007 the Mercury bay Archery Club is a small Club based in Whitianga, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. We have an outdoor range on South Highway Moewai and an indoor range behind the Mercury Bay Game Fishing Club on the Esplanade, Whitianga. We encourage people to come and shoot socially or competitively at club, District, National or International level. In 2012 we launched an initiative to encourage "At Risk" youth to get involved with archery and become part of our Community. The Mercury Bay Archery Club hosted the Oceania & Commonwealth Continental Championships 5th - 10th November 2012 followed by the 70th Archery New Zealand National Championships & Open 3rd - 9th January 2013. Both of these tournaments were very successful for archery, our club and the community. Now we are also hosting the Archery New Zealand National Championships & Open 4th -10th January 2014 and want to make this a bigger and even better event."

2014 Archery NZ National Championships & Open

The Mercury Bay Archery Club ran two very successful International Tournaments - the Oceania Continental Championships in 2012 and the 70th Archery New Zealand National Championships & Open in 2013.  We now have the hosting rights for the 71st Archery NZ National Championships & Open, Janaury 4th - 10th 2014. 

Events of this size take a lot of planning, volunteer work and funding.  We are hoping to raise money to put towards the running of the tournament and also for prize money not only for the Open Divison winners, but the Juniors and Masters to offer encouragement for the younger and thanks to the latter.  Prize money and well run tournaments also attract overseas archers who raise the profile of our tournament, attract others to come and compete alongside or watch and learn.

The Mercury Bay Archery Club want 2014 to be bigger and even more successful for the archers, organisers and the community.
