WAC / Moorabbin Handicap Shoot
On Saturday 27 August 2016, members of the Moorabbin Archery Club made their way to Ballarat to participate in Wendouree Archery Clubs monthly handicap shoot. All Wendouree archers were encouraged to come along, shoot and socialise with the visiting Moorabbin Archers.
