On exiting the latest lockdown, from Wednesday 2 December you are now able to shoot outdoors. The previous booking system is now live again, & the rules remain as before this latest lockdown – see below.
The Club hut at the field remains closed and for the foreseeable future there will not be any shooting allowed at the Indoor hall at Lacey Green.
Archery Rules under COVID
All measures for social distancing and your safety are now in place at the field so you can book a slot to start shooting again. Please take note of the following & observe at all times.
- Hand gel is taped to the gate for use when entering and leaving.
- Bosses with wheels Lanes 1 and 9 are currently set at 60 yds, Boss with wheels Lane 3 is set at 100yds and the two straw bosses Lanes 5 and 7 are also set at 100yds. They can be moved to suit but please wipe them down before and after with the spray. Obviously if you are at the field by yourself, it will be safe to move forward
- The clubhouse will remain closed for the time being but on the verandah you will find hand sanitizer on the table with the spray for wiping down the faces and bosses, anything else you touch and your own equipment if you haven’t brought yours.
