Parkfield Archers at Wimblington hosted the third and final 2022/23 team frostbite of the year. In attendance was Grey Goose Archers, Ramsey Ravens, Parkfield and Ely Archers. This time the team had 15mph winds to contend with.

Ely Archers had Alison (BB), Pete (BB), Alex (R), Daniel (R), Jordan (C) and Mel (C) shooting.

In the end Ely Archers came 2nd out of the four clubs with the win going to Grey Goose Archers.

A great afternoon of shooting nonetheless with a lovely spread of rolls, pork pie, sausage rolls and crisps laid on together with tea and coffee in the social club.

Thanks to Parkfield Archers for hosting.

Parkfield/CAA End of Season Handicap Western Shoot

On Sunday 7th October seven Ely Archers made the short trip to the Parkfield/CAA end of season shoot at Wimblington. For early October it was a perfect day with hardly no wind and sunshine.

Most of us chose to shoot the Western round (60 and 50 yards) although a Long Western was on offer (80 and 60 yards). Iain Snare preferred the Short Western which was (50 and 40 yards). The first longer distance was shot before lunch and it gave Mel and Daniel their 252 scores for 60 yards. After an hour for lunch we shot the 2nd shorter distance.

There was one arrow fatality with Daniel’s ACE arrow being hit dead centre from behind (it didn’t survive, see image below) whilst the other arrow that hit it was found on the floor perfectly OK.

As this was a handicap round there was no knowing of who had won any medals until the results were read out, but Team Ely did OK.

Mel shot really well and claimed a new Western club record (beating the record Daniel set the week earlier at club) with a score of 764 and a 252 60 yard club record of 280.

Louise also shot a brilliant score of 686 (a 1st class score) and new club record.

Iain Snare scored 535 and this was also a new Short Western club record.
