Hot Sunday Scores

We had a good turn out on Sunday with little wind and hot weather and all 8 targets being used.

Mel shot a Warwick (60 and 50 yards) on his recurve and scored 277 which gives him his third 3rd class score, a badge is coming your way.

Ian shot a Short National round (50 and 40 yards) on his recurve and shot a new club record with 507 scored.

Bart scored exactly what he needed – 189 on his barebow in the 252 round at 50 yards – so one more of those scores and above and you can have your 252 50yd badge.

Emily shot 233 on her barebow in the 252 – 20yards round, so this second score now gives her the 20yds 252 badge.

Despite a couple of misses at 80 yards Daniel still managed to score 418 which is exactly what he needed for his second 1st Class score.

Daniel also thought he had lost his arrow at 60 yards as it was nowhere to be found, as most of it went straight through and was hanging out the back.

Well done everyone.

Windy Windsor at Knebworth

Team Ely Archers at the Green Dragon Bowmen Knebworth Windsor shoot (14th May 2017).

Harry shot the adult round and scored 815 out of a possible 972, ranking 14th in mens recurve.
Daniel scored 777 ranking 16th in mens recurve and Mel scored 739 ranking 17th in mens recurve out of 32 archers.

I think the scores could have been a lot higher if it wasn’t sooooo windy that day!

Club Record Bray for Harry

The nominated round today was a Bray I, although club members also shot a mixture of Portsmouth single and triple face rounds as well.

Harry managed a personal best and club record score on the Bray today scoring 267 out of 300.

Personal bests on the Bray for Steve, Mel and Paul. After just receiving his ‘F’ badge today, Paul shot his first ‘E’ score with 183. Mel scored exactly what he needed for his first ‘C’ score with 258. Well done.

It was nice to see Louise back scoring a Portsmouth with 493.

Shooting News 19th March

We had another set of personal bests this week from Alison scoring 470 on her barebow.

Harry improved on his 564 PB score (Gents U14) by shooting 568 (his second ‘C’ class score) which is also a new club record (Gents U16).

Mel also scored an impressive 516 on his recurve bow up from his previous best of 488. Mel now has 3 ‘D’ class scores, so has obtained his ‘D’ class badge in a very short time with us, well done.
