Ely Archers Archery News

It turned out nice for us today. We were a good mixture from beginners through to Roy Lockwood receiving his certificate for a new record for Recurve Long Warwick. I’ve been off with an injured thumb and expected to find a big backlog of scores to enter, but you’ve all been resting and there were none ! No-one shot a Western today, but I did manage a Warwick ok. Two shooting evenings to go before the Jolly Archers’ Open Western next Sunday, I think just Mike Williamson and myself to shoot there this year. Our thanks go to Mike Williamson and his family for hosting the Club’s BBQ in a very fine style, Many Thanks to Mike & Julie.

Ely Archers Archery News

A lovely evening with quite a few archers enjoying the butts. Neil suffered a compound techno-tragedy, which was a pity, bad luck Neil. David spent ages building a bow up for a new member, who shall be nameless until I find out who this mystery woman is ! Balloons were popped, certificates for new records awarded to David, Roy and Rob. Martin Ley shot a Junior Warwick, scoring 360 and beating Nigel Tapp’s recent record. Now I know these don’t really count, as it’s Gentlemen shooting Junior Rounds, but it’s encouraging and we could place bets !! No doubt they’ll soon move up to a Short Warwick and be acting as real Gentlemen !

Hot, Hot, Hot ! So many folks were elsewhere, but half a dozen of us were shooting in the Sun. Roy shot a 1st Class St George, despite a couple of problems in the last end or two. Harry and Nigel shot a Short Junior Warwick and Nigel won this time. I shot a Windsor with my flatbow, 3rd class as barebow ( recorded) or 2nd class as a longbow for interest and a first record for a BB Windsor, soon to be smashed I reckon ! But I have managed 3rd Class Outdoor Barebow, Yeh ! Eric and David shot too, but were eventually driven off by the heat and technical problems. All reports updated today and the scoresheet box replenished at the field. See you on Wednesday maybe ? Rob
