A new 3rd class badge goes to Mike B. on his compound. Jon P. has earned his 3rd class badge on his barebow, but only needs one more score for a 2nd class badge.

Daniel scored his first Bowman score with 493 on the 90m and 70m Long Metric. Wojciech also scored his second 1st class score on the 70m and 60m distance – just one more to go! Well done everybody.

Medals at Norwich Portsmouth

Ely Archers Archery News, ,

Daniel, Mel and Louise travelled to the City of Norwich Archers first Portsmouth competition on Sunday 25th March.

The competition did not only count your first round, but all 3 session scores counted, and your highest score was used to work out the results.

Daniel and Louise shot only the 3rd session, but Mel shot in all 3 sessions.

It was a nice bright sunny day and a nice bright sports hall. The lights were on in the hall, but the hall also provided a lot of natural light from large windows all around the roof line. Good lighting always helps.

Mel came 2nd in the Mens recurve category and Louise came second in Ladies recurve category.
