What a weekend for our members! With the Scottish Outdoor Championships taking place, several of our archers took on the gruelling 1440 round, shooting over both days. 💪
👏 Paul had a fantastic weekend, taking Bronze on Saturday and Silver on Sunday in the Barebow Open Novice 50+ category. A brilliant example of keeping your nerve, digging deep and finishing strongly over the full distance.
👏 Our associate members also had a great weekend:
● Lawrence – Silver on Saturday and Bronze on Sunday in the Barebow Novice 50+ category.
● Gregor – Bronze in the Barebow Open category.
🏹 Fiona, now a qualified County Judge, was also busy putting her newly gained skills into practice at the Scottish Outdoor Championships. Congratulations, Fiona!
Meanwhile, three of our Compound archers travelled to the other end of the country to attend the first Compound Training Day at the Performance Archery Centre (PAC) in Lilleshall.
It was a fantastic opportunity to visit the centre, train and speak with some of the UK’s top Compound coaches. There were plenty of learning points and training ideas that we can bring back and adapt throughout the club. Hopefully, this will be the first of many such events!
🏹 Back on home turf, our juniors Ava and Grace continued working on their form while also chatting about their future goals. Introducing simple goal-setting with juniors is a great way to help them think about where they want their archery to take them.
Meanwhile, Laura continued working with her coach Bill, focusing not only on her shooting but also on another important part of archery — equipment maintenance! 🔧🏹
A huge thank you to Bill for giving up his time, helping archers throughout the session and proving that sometimes you just need to think outside the box to solve those tricky kit problems!
As always, the club couldn’t function without our fantastic volunteers and members. Thank you to everyone who gives their time, shares their knowledge and works together to make our sessions enjoyable and supportive for everyone. ❤️
What a weekend! Well done everyone! 👏🏹
