September 2024 Awards
Wednesday 4th afternoon
Another successful afternoon on the archery field. One of our barebow women shot a tremendous Metric 122-50 to set a new club record of 68-487-7. One of our recurve women shot a great National 40 score of 72-560-34 to set a new club record and beat the old record set in 2016. The National 40 archer included a second successful 252 at 40 score to gain her 40 yards badge.
Sunday 8th Awards
Despite the rain we did manage to present two awards to our archers. Both to barebow women, one achieving her 252 at 60 yards and the other her Bowman 1st Class badge. Both of the awards take a great deal of practice to reach this standard.
More records fall on Wednesday 11th
Congratulations to:
One of our senior barebow women who set a new club record for the National 50 round, raising the score to 71-497-20.
One of our novice recurve women who set a new club record for the St. Nicholas round with a score of 84-674-60. The previous record was set in 2010.
Also to one of our returners to archery who has now achieved his 252 at 40 yards badge.
And finally to one of our senior recurve men who switched to indoor rounds, shot outdoors, and achieved his Indoor Archer 2nd Class badge with two consecutive Stafford rounds.
Crazy weekend for Club Records
A total of eight club records were set over the weekend of the 14th/15th. These included men and women, senior and junior, and recurve and barebow. Some archers established records for rounds that did not have a record, some set new records and some broke their own records. This reflects the excellent progress of our archers.
Sunday 29th Club Outdoor Championship
Many thanks to all archers who turned out to support the Outdoor Championship. We had two competition club records with compound and barebow women in the St. Nicholas round. In the junior section we had a new U16 men’s club barebow record in the Long Metric V round. Outside the competition we had a new men’s club recurve record for the St Nicholas round, which was last set in 2018. Four new club records in one day.
Great shooting. Well done everyone.
