Well done to the fourteen archers who shot a Vegas round at Brockenhurst college this afternoon. 
If you have never shot this round then you will not yet appreciate how challenging it can be. Take the smallest target face we shoot (40cm) remove the outer 5 rings leaving only the 6 to 10 zones to aim at and stand at 20 yards, that's tough. But not nearly tough enough...so just to add some jeopardy, there are three of these tiny targets close together and you have to shoot at them in the right order with three numbered arrows. If the wrong arrow goes in the wrong target it's a miss.
There were winter league points on offer today for those who could outperform their current handicap. Single bonus points for the league were also awarded for shooting a three-gold end in the first and second halves of the round.
Here are the results in order of adjusted score to show the best performers of the day....
A special well done to our Silver (Steve Dance) and Bronze (Hannah Diffey) archers who came in very close to handicap. The Gold bragging rights of the day go to Maisie Ovenden who not only shot a huge 90 points above handicap and bagged a whopping 22 league points but stunned onlookers with an "X 9 9" three-gold end to claim an extra bonus point.
Here's how the league is looking after this event click here. Handicaps will be updated immediately before the next round.
Look out for the next 'weekend extra' coming up on Sunday 11th December when we will be shooting a Portsmouth round. In the meantime, don't forget that Tuesday nights at Brockenhurst College are open to all members, it would be great to see you.
