What a great day and a great turnout for the club today!
A couple of new shooters and a couple of previous shooters returning to the club, welcome back Gerry and crew.

Well folks, today was The Jess Reid Show, with Jessica qualifying to move up to 30M. Needing 240 , Jess smashed that by shooting a 260! That Quest Radical is really working well for her and she is handling it like a seasoned campaigner. Its hard to believe that she’s only been shooting a few months and has had that bow for only 6 weeks.

Her husband Dave won the club shoot for the second week in a row, narrowly defeating Kane Bartlett by only 3 points with Jess Reid a further 3 points back. Dave’s New Mathews MR8 is tuned to perfection and is super smooth to shoot. After a layoff of 13 years, Dave is slowly finding his feet, and the more he shoots and the stronger he gets will soon equate to big scores on the range.

During the comp, Jess had a brain fade and on one end only shot a 33, with a complete miss as well. Had that miss been just a seven, Jess would have won the comp! That would have been a great achievement.

Club President and Resident Super Coach Mike Clark was kept busy all day, with seven people to coach all at the same time. He did a great job as you could see the improvement of their shooting as the day went on.

All in all, today was an absolute ripper day for the club.

Don’t forget the next club shoot is Tuesday night from 5pm til 7pm. Why not come along and join the fun?

A great turn out today, despite the fact that our fearless leader and super coach, Mike Clark was away on family business, with up to 11 shooters on the line at various stages of the day.

The sun was shining but conditions were challenging, with gusty headwinds all day. Dave Reid won the club shoot, narrowly defeating Kane Bartlet, both guys were shooting compound which gave them a big advantage over those shooting recurve. Kane was driving nails with his trusty Camo PSE and Dave was doing the same with his awesome Mathews McPherson Series MR8 Monster.

It was good to see Liam and Ethan back shooting today, along with Danielle, Jamie and Co.  And a  very interesting day it was, with Danielle unable to find her favorite Recurve, so she had to struggle along with an unfamiliar bow. Jess was also restricted today, having blown up her compound last week, she was forced to use her ambidextrous recurve, and boy oh boy what a beautiful bow it is!

All in all it was a great day at the club with fun had by all. And remember, every Tuesday night is our twilight club shoot from 5pm till around 7 or 8pm.
Come along and do some shooting, It’ll be great to see you there!

It wasn’t the greatest weather, but a few brave souls still turned up.
Jess Reid was there trying out her new sight, scope and drop-away rest from Urban Archery and was smashing the gold, shooting high 50’s at 10 and 20 metres. Not bad for someone who only picked up a bow for the first time a few months ago , has had that bow for only a few weeks and tonight was her first time shooting sight and scope.

It was great to see Travis Bunce back too, with his space age Oneida Bow, straight out of the TV series “Arrow”
For someone who’s been out of action for so long, he still managed to damage the middle of the target too.

Our next Club Shoot is Saturday 17th November, hope to see you there!

A good turn out again today, Jack was back at the Come and Try and was smashing gold again all day.
There’s a champion in the making there.
Jess Reid was trying out her new drop-away arrow rest while the other Jess forgot to put an arrow in her bow before she shot it.

This is what happens to a compound bow if you dry fire it.

Great weather, great turn out, and a great day!
Come along next week and join in the fun, and don’t forget the twilight shoot for club members every Tuesday night.
