On the Saturday the rounds for the senior recurves were 70m rounds, the compounds shot 50m on 80cm targets, whilst the juniors and cadets shot 60m. The Sunday shoot incorporates the outdoor Cambridgeshire Archery Association championships.
Daniel and Mel shot on the 70m targets and finished the ranking rounds with scores of 510 and 471 respectively. This put Daniel in 18th and Mel in 26th. It was then onto the head to heads where you shoot 3 arrows per end, the winner of each end scores 2 points, if you tie that’s 1 point each. The first archer to 6 set points wins. Daniel was knocked out in the first round 6-2, Mel was knocked out in the first round 6-0.
