Jordan has gained his ‘F’ badge and Steve has gained his ‘E’ indoor badge. Well done.
Next Week – Portsmouth with a twist – a standard Portsmouth but shooting on 3 spot targets.
Today we extended the shooting range and shot a WA 25m round (think Portsmouth but shooting 25m). 12 of us submitted scores today.
Maggie improved on her Ladies Barebow club record today with a score of 399. Joshua scored a new Gents U18 Recurve club record with 154.
There were also personal bests from Bart, Jordan, Malcolm, Steven, Trevor and Wojtek.
Next Week
Back to black and white targets with a Worcester round.
This week we shot a quick Bray I round, lots of us scored Personal Bests today – we must all be getting better!
Bart, Ian, Mike W., Daniel, Eric, Joshua, Malcolm, Steve, Trevor, Maggie.
Top recurve score of the day goes to Mike Williamson with 254 out of 300.
If you scored 200+ at the Frostbite you should be getting a badge, most of the Frostbite badges have been handed out today, those people left to receive them are Danielle and Lukasz.
Rob is looking for some beginner’s limbs 68″ on 25″ riser, 66″ on 23″ riser, something in the 18 to 22 lb range.
Have any club members got any for sale? If you have see Rob.
WA 25m – same as Portsmouth, just 25m instead of 20m/18 yards.
Thanks to everyone who shot in our first Frostbite round today. 13 people shot today, more than expected.
Just to say there was no frost today, although a bit misty but for the record the temperature was about 8 degrees.
We shot sighters and 3 ends and then stopped for hot drinks all provided by Steve on his camping stove.
The temperature was not a problem, but shooting 6 arrows again instead of 3 certainly did tire us out quicker.
All scores today:
Daniel Coe 291 Gentlemen Recurve
Mike Williamson 274 Gentlemen Recurve
Wojtek Pawlicki 252 Gentlemen Recurve
Maggie Johnson 237 Ladies Barebow
Malcolm Basing 227 Gentlemen Barebow
Luksz Weigt 218 Gentlemen Recurve
Danielle McLoughlin 206 Ladies Recurve
Paul Coghlan 191 Gentlemen Recurve
Rob Edson 171 Gentlemen Barebow
Steven Johnson 139 Gentlemen Recurve
Ian Forrester 105 Gentlemen Recurve
Neil Sutton 62 Gentlemen Longbow
Thanks to everyone who attended our Christmas shoot on Sunday. Lots of fun was had shooting at a selection of targets including Christmas tree targets, reindeer targets and our excellent team game that was devised by Ian, who also needs thanking for buying and printing the targets for us.
In the end the red team won by about 3 arrows (170 odd points).
Thank you to Trevor for the homemade mince pies they went down well with our teas and coffees.

The date for our 1st (hopefully annual) Frostbite round is pretty much set as Saturday 7th January at 10am on the Amherst Field. It’s only 30m shooting 3 dozen arrows at an 80cm target. Hot drinks will be provided. Every one who enters will also receive a Frostbite badge with their score on it.
See you all at Ely College on Friday 6th January – then the next day is the Frostbite!
