A couple of recent entries are the Equipment Setup Event that takes place on the 10th Feb 2019 and the County Team Selection application form.

Also it's worth keeping an eye on the club calendar as we have some non shooting days coming up at the end of Feb going into March. These will only effect the Wednesday evening shoots.

Lastly there is a Committee Meeting on the 31st Jan, so if you would like something raised please speak to one the committee members prior to it.     

A big hearty thanks goes out to all who attended our annual Christmas fun shoot today.

T'was a most glorious shoot, (Apologies, came over all Dickensian there) and hopefully everyone had a great time.  

Bad news is our next shooting date is Wednesday the 2nd Jan, but at least it gives us time to finish off all the turkey. 

Stay safe and see you in 2019. 

   

The competition was close but the medal winners were:

A full rundown of scores and allowances can be found in the members area. As always big shout out to JB for running the event.

This marks the end of of the outdoor season and a final league will be posted shortly. See everyone next Sunday indoors and in the warm. 

Wed 5th Sept 2018: We move back indoors for Evening shoots only, that's 7-9 PM.

Sunday 9th Sept 2018: Club outdoor championship. A Windsor round scored on a handicap basis.

It's membership renewal time, so look at for a email from the Membership Secretary detailing what you need to do.

Happy Shooting.

Sunday 22 July saw our 12th annual David Atkinson Memorial, more commonly known to club members as the Chuffy Shoot.

We shot an American round with a variety of bow types, using a handicap scoring system and the competition was fierce with only a few points separating the top runners.

The event ended with the traditional whistling arrow being shot.

The overall winners were:

Recurve Gold Medal and overall Trophy winner: Harry Thompson

Longbow Gold Medal: Sindy Baker

Short American Gold Medal: Barry Lyons

A full run down of the scores (including special medals awarded) can be found in the members area.

     

A full listing can be found in the members area.

Thanks to JB for organising the event again this year and thanks also to our Lady Paramount Kate.

Best Gold of the day came right at the end with this corker from Harry.

Next Competition is the annual Chuffy shoot in July.

A Western round is the order of the day, 4 dozen arrows at 60 yards and 4 dozen at 50.

If you don't have or rather not shoot a longbow then you can shoot a round but unfortunately you will not be included in the medal count.       

On our 2nd St.George's Day clout,  at about 120 yards,  the members shot a variety of longbows and bare bows at the two dragons trying to miss the Knights stationed in front keeping them at bay.

Steve Wardlow (pictured left) was the first archer to fatally wound a dragon, but as the morning progressed they incurred an onslaught of hits worthy of St.George himself.

Trek over to the members area for a full run down of how people scored, and come back later for some more photos of the day's events.

Well done to everyone who took part and thanks to JB for running it as always. If you want to see where you fared in either the Champs tourny or the winter league, then both sets of results are sitting in the members area.  

Lastly, We couldn't end this post without giving a big shout out to Tim and his fantastic triple compound 10 achieved with his barebow...
