More information on the two progress schemes can be found here, or speak to me at one of our club sessions.

Seven Yelverton Bowmen archers (Sarah Watson, Andrew Axworthy, Emma Broadhurst, Neill White, Gary Wong, Linda Wright & John Pengilley) traveled
to Newquay to shoot in the Double Worcester competition: Emma Broadhurst came 1st in the Ladies Longbow, this is a fantastic result given that is was Emma’s first competition.
A good time was had by all those who took part (including our head cheerleader Stan), and we even came away with a significant haul in raffle prizes. The full results can be found here.
Running alongside the DCAS Portsmouth Postal and Frostbite Postal Competitions we are also running an internal club competition shooting Bray I rounds. The competition will run from the beginning of October to the end of March, and as such this means that all indoor shooting sessions during this period are considered to be club Target days. This means that archers will be able to shoot rounds and submit scores towards the Bowmen classifications.
Details for this competition can be found here.
Several archers have submitted qualifying scores and the tables will be published in next months report.
