Whiteleaf Summer Sunday Shoots

We will be running Club tournaments for the first Sunday in each month throughout the outdoor season.  For those new to competitions, it’s a chance to learn the rules and get into the swing of competitions and for our more experienced archers, it’s a chance to break club records on some of the less frequently shot rounds.  All of the rounds (except American) or groups of rounds can be shot at distances appropriate to age and ability – see the table on the next page to decide what suits you.

All rounds will start promptly at 10:00.

Please be at the field by 09:00 to set up.

Date Rounds No. of Dozen
2nd April Warwicks 4
7th May Nationals 6
11th June* American 7 ½
2nd July Westerns 8
6th August St George/Albion/Windsors 9
3rd September York/Hereford/Bristols 12

* First Sunday in June is the Diana shoot, so the June Summer Sunday Shoot will be the 2nd Sunday for June only.

If you wish to shoot in these club tournaments, please contact Peter King in advance to let him know what round or variant of a round you will be shooting.  This will help to make the field set-up as quick as possible

For the July, August and September shoots, bring a packed lunch.

Get Your Portsmouth Round Achievement Medals

Dear Recurve Archers,

During the winter indoor season most of you will be shooting a Portsmouth round. Some of you might not know that there are medals you can get for achieving different scores for that round.

Picture of Portsmouth Round Achievement Medals

 

You can claim an achievement medal simply by entering a Portsmouth score on or above a medal score. Eg. You might get a score of 431, in that case you can claim a 425 medal. The medals are £2.00 each. I will need to see your signed score sheet, but if you put your sheet in the folder at the end of the shoot, John O’Keeffe will have it on record.

See how many you can get by the end of the season?

Good shooting,
Peter King (Tournament Officer)

Clophill WA 900 Tournament in July

Hi All

This may be of interest.

Clophill are running a double 900 in July, see the entry form

WA 900 – July 2017 . Braziers Field, Kiln Lane, Clophill, Bedfordshire,MK45 4DA. Saturday 1st July 2017. Assembly 9:30am. Sunday 2nd July 2017. Assembly 9:30am.

This is a shorter (distance) round, 60m max, so could be good for our newer members and also for anyone looking to set a new club record, as I doubt that we have one for a WA 900. If nothing else is on at the same time, I’ll probably give it a go.

Regards

Julie

BA nights now on Wednesdays

With immediate effect, we’re going to move the BA night to Wednesdays instead of Thursdays, so as not to get affected by any overrun from the dance class.
The last time this happened the second session didn’t end till gone 10pm.

Therefore the next BA night is this Wednesday 11th January

New Year’s Day Fun shoot

‘Frogin’ Hood’

The forecast was not promising and it was, after all, New Year’s day morning, so I wasn’t expecting much of a turn out. How wrong could I be. Twenty club archers turned up full of bonhomie, hangovers and silly hats. The best turn out I can remember.

The day might have started overcast and we were all waiting for the rain, but luckily we got little more than a thin drizzle that failed to dampen our high spirits.

Mark had some devious tricks up his sleeve for us to attempt, just to add spice to the proceedings. Standing on one leg; dancing; shooting left handed; to name a few. That, plus the fact that we were all shooting the club jelly bows with unmatched arrows levelled the playing field somewhat.

It fell to the enthusiastic Andrew to show us how it should be done and he was rewarded by getting the highest score and the trophy.

Mince pies and hot drinks were partaken while the scores were totalled up. The rain got fed up with waiting and decided to open up just as we were all leaving for the pub. All in all, a good mornings fun.

Looking forward already to next year.

Happy New Year everybody.
