Chilly Frostbite

A chilly 1.5 degree Frostbite today with snow flurries. Even the kettle had trouble boiling!

It was colder than last time when we shot on the 1st week of January.

This didn’t stop Malcolm though beating his previous barebow club record by 10 points with a score of 237. Dennis also scored an impressive 346 on his compound.

Rob also shot 227 on his barebow a big improvement on his last Frostbite score of 171.Ian also joined us for the first time and scored 245.

One more Frostbite next month.

Ely Archers First Frostbite a Hit!

Frostbite

Thanks to everyone who shot in our first Frostbite round today. 13 people shot today, more than expected.

Just to say there was no frost today, although a bit misty but for the record the temperature was about 8 degrees.

We shot sighters and 3 ends and then stopped for hot drinks all provided by Steve on his camping stove.

The temperature was not a problem, but shooting 6 arrows again instead of 3 certainly did tire us out quicker.

All scores today:

Daniel Coe 291 Gentlemen Recurve
Mike Williamson 274 Gentlemen Recurve
Wojtek Pawlicki 252 Gentlemen Recurve
Maggie Johnson 237 Ladies Barebow
Malcolm Basing 227 Gentlemen Barebow
Luksz Weigt 218 Gentlemen Recurve
Danielle McLoughlin 206 Ladies Recurve
Paul Coghlan 191 Gentlemen Recurve
Rob Edson 171 Gentlemen Barebow
Steven Johnson 139 Gentlemen Recurve
Ian Forrester 105 Gentlemen Recurve
Neil Sutton 62 Gentlemen Longbow

Christmas Shoot 2016

Ely Archers Christmas Group Shot

Christmas Shoot 2016

Thanks to everyone who attended our Christmas shoot on Sunday. Lots of fun was had shooting at a selection of targets including Christmas tree targets, reindeer targets and our excellent team game that was devised by Ian, who also needs thanking for buying and printing the targets for us.

In the end the red team won by about 3 arrows (170 odd points).

Thank you to Trevor for the homemade mince pies they went down well with our teas and coffees.
