Sway Bowmen’s annual Hallowe’en shoot is their most popular shoot of the year. This fun shoot sees archer’s taking aim at targets painted by their multi-talented tournaments officer, Jem Mason, as well as a variety of objects such as carved pumpkins and jelly hands. This year’s theme was Scooby Doo so targets also included Scooby snacks!
32 archers attended, most in fancy dress, and shot without the aid of sights, aiming purely by looking along the length of the arrow. This style, known as Barebow, is growing in popularity in the club (and indeed the whole of the UK) and although the competition was again won by Bob Hughes, who has shot this style for 10 years, he joked, ‘it’s getting harder to win with all these great new competitors coming up to overtake me!’
