On Sunday 1st October 2017, Mike W, Rob, Mel, Ian C, and Daniel journeyed just down the road to Parkfield Archers at Wimblington to take part in their End of Season Handicap shoot.
The round shot was various incarnations of the Western round.
Rob shot a Short Western (50 and 40 yards) on his American Flatbow whilst everyone else shot a standard Western (60 and 50 yards).
We managed to miss the rain, but it was very windy. At one point Mel’s target Danage boss fell over with his arrow still in it, breaking it.
Despite the weather Ely Archers all managed to come home with medals:
On Saturday 30th September 2017 Mel and Daniel attended the CAA end of season handicap shoot in Cambridge.
The shoot was totally free to attend and open to just Cambridgeshire based clubs. The rounds available were Long Metric rounds. Daniel and Mel both shot a Long Metric I which is 70m and 60m.
Most Cambridgeshire clubs were represented, bar about 3 clubs. This meant just under 50 archers attended. Plus the weather was kind and the Sun warm on their backs. The field used is on a rugby pitch near Addenbrooke’s hospital and you have a nice view of trains running behind the field.
In the end Daniel came 9th out of 39 seniors with a score of 529 and Mel came 17th with a score of 458.
If the shoot wasn’t handicapped Daniel would have won the Gents recurve Long Metric I. That’s handicap shoots for you!
