Ely Archers Archery News

Rain in the morning but it cleared away and we even had some hot Sunshine in the afternoon. About a dozen of us shot and 4 of us managed to complete the American in the strong wind. [ Ronnie’s light arrows were being blown away, so she retired. ] No records broken or set today, but Paul Newton achieved Third Class Archer with his Compound and Martin Ley Second Class Archer with his Recurve. Well done chaps. I’m away for a few weeks, so see you in early June. You can have another go at the American next

The rain cleared and we enjoyed a pleasant shoot. An 80 yard target was run separately, which looked to work nicely. The rest of us enjoyed ourselves at shorter ranges, a few scoring and others establishing sightmarks for next Sunday and generally practicing. I managed to beat Tim’s recent record for Barebow, Short Warwick and on Sunday Ronnie beat her own record for Short National with Compound. Fingers crossed for more good weather !

Nearly 20 of us shooting on Sunday, the rain and the wind kept away, so we all had a good time, as long as you were wearing thermals ! After a few outdoor sessions trying to establish sightmarks etc. This Sunday saw several scoresheets submitted for the National Rounds and a couple for Warwicks too. Ronnie and Paul shot their way to new Club Records with their compounds, well done ! Trevor brought a tin of tarts which he had home-baked, delicious, many thanks Trev. David took on the field captain task for us, thanks David. I have updated the records section of the website to add this 2015 Outdoor Season and off we go ! See you at the butts, Rob.
