The Archery NZ Teams to attend the 2023 Trans Tasman Challenge and the 2023 World Archery Oceania Tournaments to be held in Adelaide in April are announced.
Archery NZ and the Selection Panel would like to commend all athletes on providing a tough selection process. The past few years have made it extremely difficult for athletes vying for selection to plan ahead as well as obtain the necessary selection criteria.
