The short piece on Field Archery was shown on the BBC today, which has thrust some members into the giddy heights of fame,- we await calls from Hollywood - well at least Geoff has a chance in the new Star Wars film, with that T-shirt :-)
If you missed it, then you can find a sneaky video here:

This month we held two have-a-go sessions; one at Micheldever and one at St. Mary Bourne.
Both were a great success with kids and adults alike trying the sport. Here is a pic from Micheldever, where we were delighted to have Peter back from his Op.

Steve and Gerald both attended the second THWAC shoot last weekend. Day 1 was abit windy and hot. Day 2 was pretty horrible, with high winds and plenty of rain. In all about 80 archers were there - it was a nice course, mainly in the wood with some tricky shots where the distances were extremely hard to judge. A few people chose not to shoot the second day, and stayed a bit drier than the rest of us.

This years Open competition was attended by 77 archers. Temperatures soared to well over 30 degrees, with the heat trapped in the bowl of the Warren. The woods were not available this year so shade was scarce, leaving archers huddling around the course in the small patches of shade they could find - but this didn’t stop the good humour and good shooting. The “Turner downhill challenge” was introduced on the 60m steep downhill shot – and three archers exceeded the current records: Alex Newnes (AFB) scored 13, Eleanor Piper (recurve) scored 16 and Malcom Rees (Compound UL) scored the maximum 18!
Lord Paramount William Hastings-Bass, the 17th Earl of Huntingdon gave a short speech and presented the competition medals and the...

The “All British” is attended by the best archers from all corners of the United Kingdom; England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This year’s event was hosted by Overton Black Arrows at their field course in the North Wessex Downs AONB, near the village of Kingsclere in Hampshire.
The courses set out on the “Warren, Coombe & Peter Hastings Memorial Woods” are well known to be some of the most challenging in the UK and this years was no exception. One competitor measured walking more than 15 miles and climbing the equivalent of a 120 storey building over the two days. Shots varied from an extremely steep 60m downhill onto an 80cm target to 5m ‘bunnies’ – triple 20cm target faces.
The competition ran for tw...
