News this week includes:

• Happy New Year to you and your loved ones for 2022 and we do thank you for your patronage. Both our Castle Hill, Sydney and our Sumner Park, Brisbane stores re-open for business from 9am on Tuesday 4th January 2022. Our online store is open 24/7. If you wish to place an order, we will attend to it as soon as we can.
• Last Friday we were extremely happy to see our Bohning order arrive in Castle Hill which was originally placed in July 2021. In this instance we had to opt for sea freight due to the large increases in air freight costs. It was definitely a good day when it arrived and we got to unpack this large order. In total more than 67,000 items were included so we should be able to accommodate most items you need. Abbey Archery has a long standing relationship with Bohning and we are arguably one of the biggest Bohning stockists in the world. Bohning have long had a reputation for quality and this year marks their 75th Anniversary. Over the coming weeks our Brisbane and Sydney stores will be restocked and ready for your business.
• COVID-19 Update. Our stores are back to normal, except we require you to please use the QR code upon entry and to wear a mask at all times in our stores. We welcome phone, email & online orders but urge you to please make an appointment if you want a bow setup.
• Freight update. Sydney port still has absenteeism & strikes due to union pay demands. Sydney wharfies are paid an average $172,000 on a 35 hour roster and work less than 200 days a year. Many ships are waiting over a month to berth. Our freight costs continue to rise alarmingly. We do hope that some of our shipments arrive soon, but it is a day to day thing. We have seen more larger bodied aircraft re-introduced into the USA-Australia route which helps us with smaller orders.

  Thanks for your patience & understanding. Stay safe.

That's it for this week, good shooting...
