A nice, calm shoot this evening, with some successes. Tim Law achieved Third Class Archer with his Barebow and Daniel Coe achieved Second Class Archer with his Recurve. Well done chaps ! I managed a personal best barebow Warwick too.
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 !
A nice evening shoot and back at home I sorted out some more results: Daniel Coe finishes the Indoor season by attaining his Class E badge, congratulations Dan. Tim Law shot a record barebow Short Warwick tonight and on Sunday Martin Ley shot a record recurve National, well done Lads !
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.
First Saturday 21st when several of our archers went to compete in the Fenland Portsmouth Tournament. Five shot personal bests, which is great in competition conditions. Harry won the Junior Gentlemen’s event too ! Well done everyone. The results are now on our records website. On Sunday we tested our system for a Knockout Tournament, which worked well I think. We had lots of laughs, plenty of tension, some exciting shoot offs, Wojtek won his with a superb shot ! Overall Mike Thorley won this test in a 1 arrow shoot off with Martin. So, the Club’s End of Indoor Season Knockout will take place next Sunday
