Ely Archers Archery News

The last scheduled event of our Outdoor Season was the Cambidgeshire End of Season Handicap Tournament hosted at Parkfield Archers site. It was a very relaxed and friendly affair, with 54 archers taking part, with a wide range of ages and abilities. Our team came second after handicap adjustments and we were awarded many individual medals ! Two Ely Archers’ Club Records were made/broken: Dennis Williams scored 796 shooting a Long Western with his compound bow. Harry Tapp scored 557 shooting a Junior Western with his recurve bow. Congratulations to everyone who has shot this Summer, sharing the pleasure, creating new personal bests, improving handicaps and classifications and setting or breaking club records. Final reports now published here. Now we move indoors, only 20 yards, but the targets are small !

Well that’s it for our Outdoor Summer Season. On Friday evening Dennis Williams shot a compound Warwick of 424, just 4 dropped points ! This is a new Club Record, beating Den’s own, set earlier this season. On Sunday we enjoyed a warm afternoon to work on bow settings and sightmarks, ready for next Sunday’s County Handicap Tournament at Wimblington. See you there ? Targets all stowed for the Winter and the locks sprayed with WD40
