We ran a really good shoot on Sunday 18th May, it was well attended and the weather was good. We had a good turnout for setting up and a record number of members taking part. Well done to the juniors who showed us the way!

There were 22 Rose claims, 2 six gold end claims and one national record claimed!

Wilford Rose Entry 2014

Sunday 2nd March 2014

Thanks to all who turned out early on Sunday morning to assist in clearance of the walled garden.  The ground is now a lot safer to walk on, and with all of the metallic objects removed, lost arrows might be a thing of the past.

The shoot following turned out to be a very wet one. Well done to all who braved the elements.

The Birthday Shoot is an annual shoot for members only.  This is a Handicap shoot so anyone can win.  The archer has to shoot better or to their own handicap.

13 members shot, of which 10 members were eligible to compete for the cup.  4 Nottingham University members joined us as well.

1st Andy Woodcock    16 pts better than handicap

2nd Henry Tien    10 pts better than handicap

3rd Mark Cherry   0  shot to handicap

Henry also attained the very first 252 badge for 30yds.

Well done everyone that shot and thescores will also be going towards the Summer League.

Sallie Kirk attended the Silver Spoon Bowmen shoot on Sunday 16th of June and won the Silver Bracelet for the Ladies National.
