On Sunday 11th February four Ely Archers travelled to St. Ives to take part in the Jolly Archers Portsmouth which incorporated the Cambs County Champs shoot.

Harry won silver in the junior gents recurve category for both Cambs County and the overall Jolly Archers shoot.

As well as individual medals there are also team bow type awards. Ely Archers won bronze in the recurve team section and bronze in the overall Jolly Archers shoot. Well done to Harry, Mel and Daniel.

The recurve team is the top 3 recurve highest scores from the club, but the team must include either a junior recurve archer or at least one lady recurve archer.

Hit and Miss Competition – A Hit!

23rd January 2018Ely ArchersEly Archers Archery Newshit and miss archery club, hit and miss competition, hit and miss tournament, hit n miss competition

On Sunday 20th January we decided to run our own club Hit and Miss competition. This is usually a team event with one archer being a compound archer and the other a recurve archer. But as we have hardly any compound archers at the club we instead had teams of 2 recurve archers or barebow archers both shooting on 60mm spot targets. We had a separate competition for barebow and recurve to make things fair.

Teams were chosen based on one archer with the better handicap and the other archers with the lower (or unknown) handicap. We started with a 10 end ranking round, we then broke for tea, coffee and Alison’s lovely cake!

The next round was head to head knockouts and finally the finals.

Winning Teams:

Barebow Silver: Bart and Alison (Epic Fail)
Barebow Gold: Mary and Maggie (Bare Ladies)
Recurve Bronze: Louise x2 (Only One)
Recurve Silver: Ian and Steve (Oh No!)
Recurve Gold: Trevor and Eric (Thunderbirds)
