On Sunday 1st October 2017, Mike W, Rob, Mel, Ian C, and Daniel journeyed just down the road to Parkfield Archers at Wimblington to take part in their End of Season Handicap shoot.
The round shot was various incarnations of the Western round.
Rob shot a Short Western (50 and 40 yards) on his American Flatbow whilst everyone else shot a standard Western (60 and 50 yards).
We managed to miss the rain, but it was very windy. At one point Mel’s target Danage boss fell over with his arrow still in it, breaking it.
Despite the weather Ely Archers all managed to come home with medals:
- Western 2nd Place – Mike Williamson
- Short Western 2nd Place – Rob Edson
- Overall Archery Team – 3rd Place – Mike, Mel, Ian and Daniel
- Ian also managed first choice on the raffle prizes – even though he’d gone home already.
