Hit and Miss Competition – A Hit!

23rd January 2018Ely ArchersEly Archers Archery Newshit and miss archery club, hit and miss competition, hit and miss tournament, hit n miss competition

On Sunday 20th January we decided to run our own club Hit and Miss competition. This is usually a team event with one archer being a compound archer and the other a recurve archer. But as we have hardly any compound archers at the club we instead had teams of 2 recurve archers or barebow archers both shooting on 60mm spot targets. We had a separate competition for barebow and recurve to make things fair.

Teams were chosen based on one archer with the better handicap and the other archers with the lower (or unknown) handicap. We started with a 10 end ranking round, we then broke for tea, coffee and Alison’s lovely cake!

The next round was head to head knockouts and finally the finals.

Winning Teams:

Barebow Silver: Bart and Alison (Epic Fail)
Barebow Gold: Mary and Maggie (Bare Ladies)
Recurve Bronze: Louise x2 (Only One)
Recurve Silver: Ian and Steve (Oh No!)
Recurve Gold: Trevor and Eric (Thunderbirds)

Parkfield Archers Shoot

5th October 2017Ely ArchersEly Archers Archery Newsparkfield archers end of season shoot, western parkfield archers

On Sunday 1st October 2017, Mike W, Rob, Mel, Ian C, and Daniel journeyed just down the road to Parkfield Archers at Wimblington to take part in their End of Season Handicap shoot.

The round shot was various incarnations of the Western round.

Rob shot a Short Western (50 and 40 yards) on his American Flatbow whilst everyone else shot a standard Western (60 and 50 yards).

We managed to miss the rain, but it was very windy. At one point Mel’s target Danage boss fell over with his arrow still in it, breaking it.

Despite the weather Ely Archers all managed to come home with medals:

Western 2nd Place – Mike Williamson
Short Western 2nd Place – Rob Edson
Overall Archery Team – 3rd Place – Mike, Mel, Ian and Daniel
Ian also managed first choice on the raffle prizes – even though he’d gone home already.
