Have a Go

Our first ‘Have a Go’ is in May (May Bank Holiday). We visit Kingsbury Episcopi and set up a shooting range so people who wish to try Archery when they visit this Somerset village for their May Day celebrations. The date of the next show is 3rd May 2010.

The end of the month on the Bank Holiday Monday we visit Sherborne Castle Country Fair here again we put on another ‘Have A Go’ event for the people who visit this fair. The date of the next show is 24th May 2010.

Other Events the Club has done.

Last year we put on a club tournament in a local farmer’s field.  This consisted of ‘A Clout Shoot’, Distance Shoot and a Target Shoot The ground was wet under foot, but everyone who attended enjoyed the day. Medals and trophy’s where handed out following the shoot. Everyone who participated enjoyed the day. This year we are planning another similar day.

Tournaments

Club members also go to other Archery Tournaments in the south west. To find out what is on in the area visit the GWAS web site. There are Archery Tournaments on most Sundays in the Summer. Both Target and Field Tournaments. During the winter months there are postal shoots, and indoor tournaments each winter enter both junior and the adult competitions. To view the postal results visit the SCAA site (Postal). Click here to view some photo’s of last years shoot.

Christmas Tide

Christmas time brings another fun shoot. Everyone brings a wrapped present no more than a stated value. This time (Indoors) we shoot at the boss covered in different types of targets. Sometimes having to answer a question based on Archery. Points are then awarded to add/subtract to your score. At the end of the evening the scores are announced and the archers choose a prize (Present). This way everyone who took part goes home with something.
