Results are in for June 2022! This one was a slight edit from last year’s castle. Everyone LOVED last year’s castle but the feedback was the castle was too small and so was the King – making it too hard for most of the younger kids and the barebow archers. So this year we edited […]
Results are in for May 2022! This one was an oldie but a goodie. Taken from the Maori word Kopere (translated as “to shoot an arrow”) it was a 5-zone scoring challenge shot on a full 80cm face with different distances for U11, U14 and U16-U21 archers. Five-zone scoring is taken from the old British
Results are in for April 2022! This one was a difficult challenge – a bunny and an easter egg. The Easter egg was only worth 2 points so it was a bit of an off-put. I think next year we shall have to make the egg larger and the bunny smaller! April Results 2022
Results are in for March 2022! This year we went with a drunken version of a 60cm target. It wasn’t easy – the scoring zones are off-set and wickedly hard, but some fun was had by all. March Results 2022
Results are in for February 2022! This year we went with a modified Valentines shoot – “Because we love you” – which was basically a super close, super easy shoot on a nice large face. Something to get all the kids into the mood of shooting for the year. We had some wonderful feedback and
Results are in for the July youth inter-club shoot! This month we shot an IFAA field target, 60cm, at 18m (or 15 if you were a little one). The scoring was 6 for the X, then 5,4,3,2,1. A lot of our archers are primarily target archers, not field, and it was interesting for them to
Attack the Castle!! Results are in for the June Youth Shoot 2021. This one was a challenge shoot, one I thought up a few years ago and really wanted to try! The idea was to pretend the archers were shooting at a castle under siege. The archers shot from 18m and 15m, and did their
Kopere “To Shoot an Arrow” Results are in for the ADAA Youth May shoot 2021. This one was a new take on the traditional English shoot. We had an 80cm target in full colours, and shot 5-zone scoring – 9, 7, 5, 3, 1. This led to learning new scoring and many grumbles as they
The Egg Hunter! Results are in for the ADAA April shoot 2021 – this one was an egg-and-bunny field style shoot called the “Egg Hunter” with scoring based on World Archery field, with a few modifications. Archers were at 20m, 18m, 15m (depending on ages) and shot 6 arrows each. The centre heart zone was
Results are in for the March Youth Fun Shoot 2021! This one was a Shamrock entitled the “Luck of the Irish” thanks to St Patrick’s Day in March. Thanks to all the archers who participated in this one. It was a bit tricky with the smaller scoring zones and going forward we may have to
