Newsletter - National Field Archery Society

The first round took the form of a Big
Game score of three arrows with 23 3D targets
set from 20 pegs. No wasp pegs were
used and the maximum score was set at 20.
The course was a mixture of distances and
some shots were partially obscured by trees,
but all the targets were shootable, which was
evidenced by the results.
To challenge our guests further there were
some surprises - hitting the wrong animal in
a herd shot resulted in a penalty of minus
five points. Other challenges were in the
form of predator and prey targets, where
the predator had to be hit before the
archer could take a shot at the prey.
Following lunch refreshments of burgers,
bacon rolls etc, tea and coffee, the afternoon’s
round was a one arrow round on a different,
slightly easier course with 17 3Ds
and three Hessian faces. As it was only a one
arrow round the archer could nominate the peg
he/she wanted to shoot from and be awarded the
relevant score - assuming they hit the target of
course!
Tea and cakes were consumed whilst the scores
were prepared. As the second round was only one
arrow this sped up the shooting and by 4.30pm the
shoot was finished and all the prizes awarded.
When asked the visiting archers could not make any
suggestions to improve the event, but one comment
received was “to hold five events a year instead of
just the one”!
I would like to thank all of the visiting archers and
members of BWFAC who helped out.
