23 archers shot on Sunday with most of us shooting at Portsmouth targets. Welcome Jack Kelly – our newest member who shoots compound. Well done to Malcolm for now obtaining his F badge with his barebow and to Joshua who has now obtained his G badge again, but now in the U18 category.

Club records broken over the last 2 weeks:

    • Archie has broken his own barebow Portsmouth record of 493 by shooting a 501 score (Gents U16 barebow)
    • Ronnie has broken her own compound Portsmouth (Triple Face) record of 535 by shooting a 544 (Ladies compound)
    • Mary has taken away Maggie’s barebow Portsmouth record of 487 by shooting a score of 496 (Ladies barebow)
    • Harry has beaten his own Portsmouth club record of 524 by shooting a 526 round (Gents U14 recurve)

Well done everyone!

Vegas was the nominated round today, and those three spots seemed very small from 18m. But, it didn’t stop Scott breaking Martin’s previous recurve record of 469 with Scott getting 491. This was Scott’s 3rd D score, so he has obtained his D badge. Keeping it in the family, Katelyn recorded her first recurve Portsmouth score on Friday night with a score of 410.

There were also Club Records for Harry and Louise with their Vegas scores of 422 and 372 respectively.

Archie shot a Portsmouth today with his Barebow and scored 471 which provided him with his 3rd E score. So Archie has obtained his E badge.

Finally, Ronnie shot a Bray today on her compound and she shot a 268 (which broke her own previous record of 263) this was Ronnie’s 3rd C score. So a C badge is coming your way. Well done Ronnie.
