Ely Archers Archery News

The big black clouds dodged us somehow and there was a good turnout for the evening’s archery. Dennis was back and was awarded his Record Breakers and Makers Certificates for his 3 Compound achievements as well as his Second Class Archer Badge. Young Harry was awarded his Second Class Junior Archer badge and went straight out to shoot a First Class score in a Short Junior National, creating a new record for U12s. ( Oh! to be young !) Jason and I shot a stunning Short Warwick, so Jason is off on the badge trail now ! It was good to see Paula at the field, watching and chatting. I shall miss the next 2 Sundays, so leave those scoresheets in the box please and enjoy your archery.

A fine evening for some relaxed archery. Eric was awarded his 3rd Class Archer badge, soon to be 2nd Class I reckon. Mike Thorley was awarded his First Class Archer badge to appreciative applause. Harry Tapp handed in a score sheet which takes him to U12 2nd Class Archer, well done Harry ! Tim learned a bit about nocks and we two with wooden arrows tried to hit targets with them, with limited success !! Fingers crossed for more fine evenings and Sunday afternoons.

A lovely day to shoot, about a dozen of us shooting. Young Joshua Chapman (U16) submitted his first scored round and created a new record for Short Junior Warwick U16, well done Joshua. The master plan was to shoot Yorks and Bristols, but you really need a long day for that, so Eric and I shot an American whilst Roy shot a WA70. We all enjoyed ourselves, except Sophies day was spoilt by a wasp sting ! Bad luck Sophie.
