Today we held our annual Valentines Shoot. Ian had designed and printed us some special targets based around a Worcester round shooting 5 arrows per end.
We used handicaps today to make the shooting fair. The first 3 places went to Rob, Alison and Malcolm.
Maggie shot an impressive barebow 10 10 10 end.
Well done to Trevor for getting his 2nd ‘D’ class score of 508 today whilst shooting a triple spot Portsmouth round. One more to go!
A chilly 1.5 degree Frostbite today with snow flurries. Even the kettle had trouble boiling!
It was colder than last time when we shot on the 1st week of January.
This didn’t stop Malcolm though beating his previous barebow club record by 10 points with a score of 237. Dennis also scored an impressive 346 on his compound.
Rob also shot 227 on his barebow a big improvement on his last Frostbite score of 171.Ian also joined us for the first time and scored 245.
One more Frostbite next month.
Today we tried a Portsmouth with a twist – triple spot Portsmouth. So we now have 3 new club records from Maggie with a ladies barebow record of 414, Malcolm with the men’s barebow club record of 426 and Ian with the men’s recurve record of 545.
Trevor scored a solid 519 – his first ‘D’ score of this indoor season, 2 more like this please!
Personal bests for everyone else!
Pictured is Trevor’s 10 10 10 end.
