Indoor County Shoot 2024 – Longbow County Champs

Deborah, Pip, Pete, Simon, Daniel, Paul and Chris all shot at the Cambridgeshire County Indoor Championships on Sunday 11th February 2024 at One Leisure, St. Ives. The Open Portsmouth shoot is run by Jolly Archers and incorporates the Cambridgeshire Archery Association (CAA) Indoor Championships.

This was the second year the shoot was UK Record Status so this meant official bow inspections and new this year a timer system.

Overall, a brilliant result for the club with lots of medals, last year it was nearly all barebow wins, this year lots of wins from the new longbow camp.

Here are the results from both the Jolly Archers shoot and the incorporated Cambridgeshire Indoor County results:

Alex and Jordan attended the Cambridgeshire Archery Association (CAA) end of season handicap shoot on Sunday 2nd October 2022. The shoot was a free to attend shoot hosted by the City of Cambridge Bowmen. The round selected was a National archery round, with a choice of distances on offer from 80/60, 60/50, 50/40 and 30/20.

The weather for the afternoon was a light wind with Sun and the occasional cloud. Warm but not too hot.

The shoot was a handicap-adjusted shoot with separate categories for seniors and juniors, archers shot their round of choice and the results were handicap adjusted. Each archer had to present their current handicap rating to the tournament organiser before the shoot, which is supplied by your clubs records officer.

A handicap adjusted score of 1440 means you are shooting to your normal standard, above – you’re shooting better than normal, below and not as good as usual.

Jordan shot a 60/50 yard National and ranked 17th equal with a score of 582, the adjusted score was 1423.
Alex shot a 60/50 yard National and ranked 33rd with a score of 373, the adjusted score was 1377.

In the end 39 archers from the county attended from a number of different archery clubs and it was a really good shoot. It’s well organised, free, and worth attending in the future if you want experience of a local friendly shoot – it will hopefully be back again next year!
