Cambridgeshire County Wins

On the weekend of the 15th and 16th June 2024 Peacock Archers held their annual World Archery weekend. This year saw a venue change, where we moved to a very nice field on the site of the Jolly Archers (but not on the normal Jolly Archers field).

Saturday saw World Archery distances of 70m for recurve and longbow and 50m for barebow and compound. A single 72 arrow qualifying round was shot before lunch with the head to heads happening after lunch. The morning was breezy but the wind really picked up in the afternoon. Unfortunately Jordan, Daniel and Pete went out in the first round, although Pete put up a fight and took his match all the way to a single arrow ‘closest to the centre’ shoot off. A memorable day, if not for the torrential thunder, lightning and hail storm that we had during shooting.

Sunday was a double WA 720 round incorporating the Cambridgeshire Outdoor County Shoot. There were many varied distances including 70m, 60m, 50m and shorter distances for the juniors. Overall a busier day than the Saturday (maybe because of more distances on offer), Paul was shooting 70m, with Daniel and Jordan on 50m. A lot better day weather wise and in the end Ely Archers came away with 2 medals in the County shoot:

2nd Cambs County Mens Barebow – Daniel
3rd Cambs County Mens Recurve – Paul

CAA End of Season Handicap Shoot 2022

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!
