Paul, Jordan, Daniel, Mel, Pete, Alison and Harry attended the annual Peacock Archery WRS WA 18m shoot on Sunday 30th January 2022.

The WA 18m round is shot on a 40cm target face at 18m with the maximum score being 600. These rounds are also shot with each archer having their own target face. For single full face targets, there are 4 target faces per target boss, which means you may be on the top or the bottom target for the shoot. Although you do have the option to shoot on a triple sport target as well.

A lot of very good archers attended the World Record Status shoot so this made the medal wins even sweeter and the medal winners shot very well on the day.

2nd Men’s Barebow – Pete 515
3rd Men’s Recurve – Paul 551
3rd Ladies Barebow – Alison 446

Well done to everybody.

On Saturday 8th January 2022 we held our annual Frostbite shoot. It was probably the worst day we could have picked weather wise. The wind and rain was in our faces and the paper scoresheets soon turned to paper mache – even our biro’s stopped working.

I think all our archery gear required a good evening of drying out before shooting at club the next day. Here are the results:
