LONGBOW TEAM STRIKES AGAIN

On Sunday 2nd November, at Bridlington archers annual indoor tournament myself, Colin and Noel entered and as we were all shooting longbow we also entered as a team. Shooting for the afternoon session started at 2 p.m. and after the first dozen we were placed first, second and third for the session. As usual the venue was packed and shooting progressed quite slowly but I suppose some one has to give those guys with the wheelie bows a chance to shoot. Three hours later shooting ended and after the raffle and a pause whilst Hi-tec slowed the scoring process the results were announced appropriately the longbow scores came first with Colin claiming first place and I took a very close run second. The awards ended with with the presentation of the team trophies and the best prize of the day Chantry's archers ended a four year unbeaten run by Selby's longbow team.

FANTASTIC NEW VENUE

Thursday 16th October saw the club meet at its brand new venue - Aston Cum Aughton Leisure Centre.  The centre, which is less than one month old, proved to be a clean, extremely well lit and very pleasant indoor venue.

YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN

Well done Colin on participating in the YAA Longbow Shoot 2008 - even if you did need a little extra help with mobility. Well done also to all the other archers who endured dreadful conditions. See the YAA website for more details.
