It was all kinds of weather at Mountain Green Archery Club on the weekend of 25 and 26 January for the annual ADAA Target Championships event. Starting on Saturday with a 720 round, the weather was sunny and bright, but with a vicious wind that threatened to derail some good scores. Our archers prevailed, and […]
Results are in for the 2024 August and September Youth shoot, which featured a “hunter” style target – a field round – with three scoring zones (5, 4, 3) and a black and white target. Archers shot this at 18m, 15m or 10m depending on their age class, and there were some great scores, including
On 19 October Mountain Green Archery Club hosted the District Doubles Trophy Challenge. This was a fun tournament where archers chose their pairing (friends, parent/child, couples, siblings). To level the playing field, only wooden bows (no sights) were allowed. Some archers chose to bring their own, while others borrowed club equipment. The day was clear

Whew what a year! Here I was thinking that we hadn’t managed to get anything done, but the more I start looking at it… actually we’ve done very well. We started with some hot weather and shot the Target Championships at Shore Archery club in January. It was a full line and we (nearly) didn’t
Results are in for the July youth inter-club shoot! This month we shot an IFAA field target, 60cm, at 18m (or 15 if you were a little one). The scoring was 6 for the X, then 5,4,3,2,1. A lot of our archers are primarily target archers, not field, and it was interesting for them to
Attack the Castle!! Results are in for the June Youth Shoot 2021. This one was a challenge shoot, one I thought up a few years ago and really wanted to try! The idea was to pretend the archers were shooting at a castle under siege. The archers shot from 18m and 15m, and did their
Kopere “To Shoot an Arrow” Results are in for the ADAA Youth May shoot 2021. This one was a new take on the traditional English shoot. We had an 80cm target in full colours, and shot 5-zone scoring – 9, 7, 5, 3, 1. This led to learning new scoring and many grumbles as they
