Daniel claims Rose Award at Jolly Archers

Ely Archers Archery News, , ,

Daniel and Mel both attended the Autumn shoot at the Jolly Archer’s on Sunday 16th September. Both archers chose the hardest round of the day – the York round. This consists of shooting 72 arrows at 100 yards, then 46 at 80 yards and 24 at 60 yards. So that’s 144 arrows in total plus sighters. The ends were shot 3 arrows at a time then you swapped and then shot another 3. So it was a full day of shooting.

It was a warm day with the odd light shower and an average amount of wind, a lot less wind than was expected.

Mel finished with a score of 692. Daniel score 814 and came 4th in the York recurve gents category out of 9 archers. As Daniel had shot an age appropriate round and scored over 800 he got to claim an Archery GB White Rose Award which comes direct from Archery GB.

End of Season Club Shoot

Ely Archers Archery News,

It was an all male affair on Sunday 9th September 2018 at the End of Season handicap club shoot. We shot a range of different National rounds. It was quite a windy morning with Ian Forrest managing to dislodge the flag on his target and break it.

The winner will be announced on the first indoor Friday 5th October when the new trophy and a certificate will be presented to the winner.

The winner gets to keep the trophy for the year and their name is placed onto our club winners page https://www.elyarchers.org.uk/results/club-competition-results/

Flag floored!
