Wymondham Archers WA Weekend 2023

Several Ely Archers including Paul, Daniel, Julian and Jordan attended the Wymondham Archers World Archery weekend on the 10th and 11th June 2023. Some chose to attend just the Saturday and take part in the WA720 rounds with head to heads, some just the Sunday shooting WA1440 rounds and the crazy ones attended both days.

The Saturday weather was hot with gusty winds which lowered scores, whilst the Sunday was equally hot but with less wind, although enough to make differences in the scores, especially at 90m.

Paul and Jordan qualified 3rd on Saturday and Julian qualified 1st in his own category. On Sunday Daniel finished 2nd and Jordan finished 3rd in the WA1440.

Medals were handed out to those who shot well and attended both days. Julian was awarded a medal by shooting his Longbow on Saturday and Barebow on Sunday.

Wymondham Archery were great hosts with free tea and coffee all day and cooled bottled water – which was definitely required!
