Ely Archers First Frostbite a Hit!

7th January 2017Ely ArchersEly Archers Archery Newsfrostbite, frostbite round

Frostbite

Thanks to everyone who shot in our first Frostbite round today. 13 people shot today, more than expected.

Just to say there was no frost today, although a bit misty but for the record the temperature was about 8 degrees.

We shot sighters and 3 ends and then stopped for hot drinks all provided by Steve on his camping stove.

The temperature was not a problem, but shooting 6 arrows again instead of 3 certainly did tire us out quicker.

All scores today:

Daniel Coe 291 Gentlemen Recurve
Mike Williamson 274 Gentlemen Recurve
Wojtek Pawlicki 252 Gentlemen Recurve
Maggie Johnson 237 Ladies Barebow
Malcolm Basing 227 Gentlemen Barebow
Luksz Weigt 218 Gentlemen Recurve
Danielle McLoughlin 206 Ladies Recurve
Paul Coghlan 191 Gentlemen Recurve
Rob Edson 171 Gentlemen Barebow
Steven Johnson 139 Gentlemen Recurve
Ian Forrester 105 Gentlemen Recurve
