Mid Week Shooting
MANY archers shoot on a regular basis at their clubs mid-week.
Retirement, shift work and self-employed flexibility seem to be
the reason that many enjoy this facility.
When asked, most seem keen on the idea of ‘informal friendlies’
at different venues, and many of these ‘mid-week shooters’ seem
to like the idea of enjoying field archery on an informal basis –
flexible time to start, half day/full day, no pressure to score
unless you want to, and the variety that a different course
offers.
South Wilts, Bath Archers and Cranmore will experiment with
this format and each club will manage their own shoots. NFAS
current membership essential and club shooting style restrictions
apply.
The first will be on Wednesday, 16th May at South Wilts (36
Big Game); the second on Wednesday, 13th June at Bath Archers’
Hunstrete Woods (2x 20 Big Game - some extinct! Wooden
arrows only); the third at Cranmore on Wednesday, 11th July (36
x mixed 3Ds and Big Game).
And the cost? £3 half day, £5 full day.
If you wish to attend please email/phone Alan White for South
Wilts (white.alan@btinternet.com or tel 07803 571257); and for
Bath and Cranmore contact Patrick Hutchinson at midweekshoots@gmail.com
or tel 07530 804827, so that numbers can be
established and appropriate facilities provided.
Hopefully this will offer something a little different in a busy
field shooting calendar.

Magic Dragon Archers
HERE down in sunny Kent we have
been working hard to celebrate our
first birthday as a club. And what
better way to celebrate than to
have a shoot.
So we would like to invite you all
to our first ever shoot. Pre-book
and pre-pay is preferred. The reason
being that we are newbies at
this and would like to have a rough idea of numbers. It
helps the catering and stops admin from having a breakdown!
The course is fairly flat, and we hope that even though it
is a 2 x 20 it will challenge you all.
So hopefully we will see you all there on Sunday, 24th
June. It is a 10.00am start and we will have catering on
site. See you soon...
Karen and Gary and all The Dragons
