ABA & IFAA club shoot 25th May

A quiet weekend at the archery club, with some members travelling to Singleton for an away shoot.  In the morning the updated IFAA range was put to the test to check that all the distances were correct (IFAA is a variation of the game where you shoot a known distance).  It was a great shoot and we plan to have club IFAA shoots from next month, held on Saturday mornings.  A big thank you to Alastair Smedley for getting the range up and running again.

 

We had just five members shoot the Anthill range in the afternoon. It would have been six except Alastair forgot to bring his quiver which meant no arrows, or release aid and hense no shooting. Cec Apps managed to get to the first target and then realised he hadn't put his scope on the bow and had to go back to the club house to retrieve it before he could start.  A day of forgetfullness. During the shoot it was all very close with the scores at the half way mark with only a couple of points between everyone.  The second half then proved more challenging and with the light fading fast the last couple of targets were much harder to see and had an impact on the end results.

Scores (max 400): Brett Hodgman 380, Karen Smedley 378, Glenn Freeman 376, Cec Apps 372, Ray McManus 360.

 

As an add to Cupcake & Teabag travelled to Singleton, the weather was fantastic all weekend and didn't have a cloud in the sky from Friday lunch time till Monday morning. Cupcake battled Annette Trethewey all weekend and they both shot the same score on the Sunday. Teabag came second after being thrashed in the 1 arrow round. Great weekend had by all.
Till next time
Cheers Teabag
