Andre Benstead kindly performed the Field Captain role for us as others were taking a Coaching Course today. We shot a Portsmouth. Unfortunately Mark Webb found his recurve had a severely cracked part so retired hurt. Mike Williamson also retired hurt as his arrows were misbehaving. Lyndsey entered her third score so now has a handicap and a Special Ely Archers Barebow Classification of F, well done Lyndsey. I managed a personal best and one of the youngsters scored a round and carefully took the form home, I’ll get it eventually. It was a pleasant shoot and Andre (Andy) helped with some individual coaching.

We shot a Portsmouth again with 14 archers at most, 5 scores recorded. Cliff recorded his first score and Lyndsey shot a personal best ! Maggie was distracted by Target Captain duties and Mike W and I enjoyed a solid score each. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their session, out of that Hot SUN !!
