Some of us shot the WA18m today, whilst others shot Portsmouths. 6 new club records were broken over the last two weeks from Louise, Tim, Ronnie, Francis and Archie. We also have 2 new ‘D’ badge holders – Louise and Luksz, well done to all.
Our first indoor shoot at King’s Ely, with lots of people scoring Portsmouth PB’s. Also we had a few club records broken today, even though there was a slight problem with the lights in the hall. Plus I nearly got locked in the hall for the day (key holders please check toilets before leaving and locking up!)
This was our last outdoor shooting day with not many of us in attendance today (only 5 of us). Ian did manage a new National PB though. Plus there was news that Louise now has her 3rd 1st class score which she obtained at the Parkfield Archery Tournament – well done. I also have lots of certificates to hand out and some 1st Class badges (Karl, Mary).
A nice afternoon shooting our Nationals at the end of season tournament. The winner will be announced at the AGM on Sunday 25th October 2015
A perfect day down at the butts, 23 of us shooting, all ages and ambitions. Tim lost an arrow, but Steve found it, two feet from the target, we must all have trodden on it ! Louise shot a record National with her recurve. Ian attained Second Class Outdoor Archer with his recurve. Mary shot her second First Class barebow score , only one more to go ! I managed to shoot my third, second class barebow score with my American flatbow and homemade arrows, so seriously chuffed, even if left with a broken arrow ! The other week a Clout Shoot was enjoyed, Best Gentleman was Karl, Best Lady Louise, Best Junior Harry. Well done everyone. Next week a National.
