Barebow Indoor Cambs County Champions 2023

Harry, Louise, Alex, Daniel, Alison, Pete, Luc, Julian and Lindsey all shot at the Cambridgeshire County Indoor Championships on Sunday 12th February 2023 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 first year the shoot was UK Record Status so this meant official bow inspections and 2 minutes of shooting for 3 arrows.

Pete had an intense day shooting against Stephen Barnes from Ramsay Ravens, but Pet held his nerve and came through in the end. I think all Barebow archers had a tough day down one end of the hall trying to ignore a broken ceiling light that constantly flickered on and off like a slow strobe light. If the cold hall didn’t get to you the light may have.

Overall, a brilliant result for the club with lots of medals.

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

Silver and Bronze at CAA Shoot

On Sunday 11th February four Ely Archers travelled to St. Ives to take part in the Jolly Archers Portsmouth which incorporated the Cambs County Champs shoot.

Harry won silver in the junior gents recurve category for both Cambs County and the overall Jolly Archers shoot.

As well as individual medals there are also team bow type awards. Ely Archers won bronze in the recurve team section and bronze in the overall Jolly Archers shoot. Well done to Harry, Mel and Daniel.

The recurve team is the top 3 recurve highest scores from the club, but the team must include either a junior recurve archer or at least one lady recurve archer.
