Indoor County Shoot 2024 – Longbow County Champs

Deborah, Pip, Pete, Simon, Daniel, Paul and Chris all shot at the Cambridgeshire County Indoor Championships on Sunday 11th February 2024 at One Leisure, St. Ives. The Open Portsmouth shoot is run by Jolly Archers and incorporates the Cambridgeshire Archery Association (CAA) Indoor Championships.

This was the second year the shoot was UK Record Status so this meant official bow inspections and new this year a timer system.

Overall, a brilliant result for the club with lots of medals, last year it was nearly all barebow wins, this year lots of wins from the new longbow camp.

Here are the results from both the Jolly Archers shoot and the incorporated Cambridgeshire Indoor County results:

Jolly Archers 61st Anniversary Western Competition

The Jolly Archers 61st Anniversary Western competition was held on Sunday 30th July 2023.

Louise, Chris and Simon from Ely Archers attended. It’s always great to be greeted by the waft of bacon and sausage rolls on any Sunday morning, especially at an archery shoot.

The weather was set to be fine with gusty winds with a threat of rain in the afternoon which did arrive for the last two ends of the competition.

It was the first outside competition for Chris (barebow) and Simon (recurve) who both shot a Western 40 round (40/30). Both archers came in first place, who were up against tough competition.

Louise held on with a close match in the Western (60/50) Ladies recurve group securing a 3rd place overall.
