The weekend successes of AoR archers must plateau sometime very soon, but yet again this weekend another bunch of successes and personal achievements were attained.
Shooting away from home at the EMAS Regional Championships on Sunday in Spalding, Katie Bayliss shot a Bristol 2 in very blustery conditions and posted a brilliant 927. Not only did this enable her to claim a black rose award for scoring over 900, but she also went away with the Girls Champion Trophy – we wonderful result at this level.
Back at home and with overcast conditions with a few sunny spells, a light to moderate head on wind and shooting a mixed bag of rounds, new club records were set by:
- Ruby Paul (Ladies U14 Recurve) shot a Short National and set a new club record with a 415 and she claimed her first 1st class score as an U14.
- Louis Paul (Gents U16 Recurve) was not be outdone by younger sister and he set a new club record for the FITA 50 round with a fine 302 and that saw yet another 1st Class score for Louis.
- Bradley Denny (Gents U16 and overall Recurve) set a new club record for the American round with “Junior Bowman” score of 776.
- Mike Williams (Senior Gents Longbow) posted a new club record for the Junior National (out of category) round with a 311.
- Richard Wise, Jnr (Senior Gents Recurve) shot the FITA 50 and he set a new club record for the round with a 312.
