Osprey Triple 2012

Another awesome day shooting target, field and clout! Forgot my quiver and all that usually comes with it (tab, arrow puller, pens, tassel, knife, pouch…) but luckily Michelle and Mark came to the rescue! My flatmate Nikki was Lady P and both Craig and Gav got to show off their new ’3D Appreciation Society’ T-Shirts [...]

Fancy Dress Archery Charity Shoot

This weekend I took part in a fancy dress shoot hosted by RN Southcoast Archery Club. Not quite sure what the charity was but there were plenty of people there and so hopefully a lot of money was raised. The round was a Stafford – 72 arrows at 30m indoors. First time of attempting it [...]

My 2011 Archery year!

2011 marked my third full year of archery and competitions ranging from target and clout, to wand and field! I will try to chronicle my favourite bits of the year with as many pictures as possible! January: Westcott Indoors Always a fab shoot and always a pleasure! Great way to start the new archery season [...]

British Barebow Champs 2011

This weekend will be my second go at the BBCs (http://www.archerygb.org/members/tournaments/entryforms/barebow_championships.php) I had an awful shoot last year and didn’t even make it to 400! My handicap suggests that I should be shooting around 420. Never-the-less I managed to come 19th in Britain and 49th in the World but I really hope to do better! [...]

Kyudo or Japanese Archery

A very peaceful and breathtaking video of Kyudo taking place -just incredible!

Ouch – no fun being sore :(

For the first time ever I had to stop and retire from a competition. It was the worst feeling in the world. I had accepted the fact that I’d have to shoot a bow not designed for target archery (as I couldn’t pull my recurve),  but I didn’t want to ever not finish. This weekend [...]

Osprey Triple 2011

I have been so excited about this comp! As mentioned previously, this would be the ultimate archery triathlon: Target, Field and Clout archery all in one day! Upon arrival I was asked to be the Lady P for the day, which is a great honour with it being a GNAS shoot! This also meant that [...]

Ultimate Archery Triathlon

Gearing up for my first ever attempt at an archer’s dream contest – the Osprey Triple! Some archers consider themselves Field Archers, some prefer more Target – the mad men amongst us love clout! But those of us who love all archery can participate in an ‘all-rounder’ competition where you get to do all three [...]
