Club Report 14th May 2023

Changeable was the word of the day on Sunday, which encompassed both the weather and the form of some of the archers. Since the majority of the competition at the Island Games will be based on the WA 720, that was the round of the day. The Compounds shot at 50m, the Recurves at 70m. … Continue reading Club Report 14th May 2023

Club Report 16th April 2023

Club Report 9th April 2023

Conditions were brutal at Greeba on Sunday. A biting east wind played havoc both on the shooting line and at the target face. Those who had not layered up against the cold regretted it.
