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:
On Saturday 5th January 16 of us headed out onto the field to shoot our annual Frostbite. The day before was icy but on this day it was about 5 degrees, so not actually that cold.
We began by all setting up our bows and then getting the targets outs and then of course we stopped for hot drinks and cakes before we began shooting.
After a couple of ends Andreas lost his contact lens and we decided to move the targets to stop anyone stepping over the contact lens area whilst it was searched for. After 7 ends (6 with one end of sighters) and a lot of searching for the contact lens the shooting was over. It was really nice to be outside shooting again, and it all gave us a feeling of what to expect when we all go outside again in April. Unfortunately, I don’t think the contact lens was ever found.
