On Dec 27th we held our annual post-Christmas fun shoot. Twenty-five archers showed up in what would otherwise have been an act of bravery had it not been so warm for a December morning.
Archers had a choice of shooting a Frostbite Round (3 dozen at 30m) or a Metric 80-30 (6 dozen at 30m), with the Chapatti trophies being awarded after three dozen. In the interests of levelling the competition, this year we introduced a handicap adjustment by bow type (Recurve 0, Compound -15, Barebow +28, Longbow +86), this meant archers of comparable shooting skill but different bow types were in with an equal chance of winning the trophies.
Congratulations to our Archer Supreme (keeper of the cake) - Chris Baigent, Champion Woman - Marie Perrott and Champion Junior - Max Errington. Congratulations also to the winners of the colour prizes with the associated blessings for their archery in 2025. A full list of 3 dozen results can be found here and complete rounds here.
Thank you to everyone who has organised, helped with, or participated in a fantastic year of tournaments. Good news! We can do it all again next year. The tournament calendar for 2025 can be found on the information page here along with some new 'outdoor challenges' for the coming season.
