This was our last outdoor shooting day with not many of us in attendance today (only 5 of us). Ian did manage a new National PB though. Plus there was news that Louise now has her 3rd 1st class score which she obtained at the Parkfield Archery Tournament – well done. I also have lots of certificates to hand out and some 1st Class badges (Karl, Mary).
A nice afternoon shooting our Nationals at the end of season tournament. The winner will be announced at the AGM on Sunday 25th October 2015
A perfect day down at the butts, 23 of us shooting, all ages and ambitions. Tim lost an arrow, but Steve found it, two feet from the target, we must all have trodden on it ! Louise shot a record National with her recurve. Ian attained Second Class Outdoor Archer with his recurve. Mary shot her second First Class barebow score , only one more to go ! I managed to shoot my third, second class barebow score with my American flatbow and homemade arrows, so seriously chuffed, even if left with a broken arrow ! The other week a Clout Shoot was enjoyed, Best Gentleman was Karl, Best Lady Louise, Best Junior Harry. Well done everyone. Next week a National.
Back at the desk again here, sorry for the gap. Some good shooting during the last period. Congratulations to Karl Prince and Maggie Johnson, who have both attained or re-attained their First Class Outdoor Archer Classifications. ( You’ll have to wait for me to buy your badge Karl, Maggie already has hers.) Congratulations also to Wojtek Pawlicki who has achieved Second Class Outdoor Archer with his recurve. The Clout Event was a great success and much enjoyed. I’m sure this will become a regular feature of the outdoor seasons, thanks Dave.
Wednesday was wet, but Friday was a pleasant evening. Archie Law shot an excellent barebow Junior Warwick, a record if I have guessed his age right ( help please ) Martin shot a 1st class Long National and I shot a rubbish Warwick ! We all took part in arrow hunting, not sure who won that event !
