Coppell Cup

An excellent day at the Coppell Cup after the two year break due to COVID restrictions.

it was great to meet up with friends old and new to celebrate the life of Brian Coppell.

The round shot was a York, and whilst the weather was beautiful, there was the occasional gust of wind, usually just as you released your arrow.

Katrina Horton was 1st Lady Longbow and Chris Eccles was 2nd Gent Longbow and also won the Most Golds Melon.

A huge thank you to Wrexham Bowmen for a terrific day which was enjoyed by everyone attending.

Sword of Shrewsbury

What a fabulous day shooting at The Sword of Shrewsbury. Chris, Keith and myself made the journey to Shropshire.
How wonderful to have a bit of normality back into life, albeit with Covid security in place. It was wonderful to see and shoot with friends not seen for a very long time. The weather was glorious, the shooting wonderful and seeing friends heart warming.
We started with the BLBS clout, tricky wind behind going one way and not only into your face the other but uphill as well. The National shoot in the afternoon, again 2 way with that wind blustering at times but don’t you just love a challenge.
Thank you so much to Bowbrook Archers for their hospitality and friendliness. I was very surprised and really chuffed to come away winning the ladies clout and having highest number of hits at the national and taking that sought after overall win for the ladies, The Ladies Dagger. Chris got the highest score for the gents and between us we got 3 of the beautiful crystal glasses that are awarded to the winners.
We had so much fun and enjoyment as did everyone that took part. Just nice to feel part of the archery community again.
