Another good day for the Longbow Club at the Northern Counties Metric Clout. Diane Jobson was 1st Lady Longbow, Katrina Horton was 2nd Lady Longbow and Alison Williams was 3rd; Steve Williams was 2nd Gent Longbow; Nina, Steve and Alison won the Club Team Longbow award. Despite some heavy showers a good time was had by all!
Fun at the Triclout today, 2 down, 1 to go. Katrina Horton was 1st Lady Longbow for the 2-way Imperial yesterday. Today was the 1-way Imperial. Katrina was the Cheshire Champion Lady Longbow and 1st in the English National awards and Chris Eccles was the Cheshire Champion Gents Longbow. Alison Williams was 2nd Cheshire Lady Longbow and Katrina, Alison and Chris won the Longbow Team award.
Great fun at the Cumbria Metrics at Penrith this weekend, but it was so hot! We usually moan about the wind but this time I would have welcomed a bit more.
All the Lady Longbows were on the same target which meant we had a riotous time!
Nina Horton was 2nd Lady Longbow and Steve Williams was 3rd Gent Longbow.
It’s a pity there wasn’t an ice-cream van there – it would have made a fortune!
A lovely weekend at Penrith for the Eagle Bowmen Clout.
A 2-way Imperial on Saturday and Metric on Sunday. The wind was blowing a hooley on both days (even worse on Sunday) but at least the rain held off.
We had a great time, even better because all the longbows were together on one target instead of spread out all along the line. So many laughs!
Katrina Horton and Chris Eccles came away with shinies and a large doorstop!
More medals today Katrina Horton 1st Lady Visitor Longbow and Chris Eccles 2nd Gent Visitor Longbow at the Yorkshire Clout. A great time was had by all especially as Steve Williams and Chris Eccles both won a bottle of wine in the raffle. Alison Williams managed to get a score both in the morning and in the afternoon sessions! Ok so it was only 1 arrow in the afternoon but at least it scored 3!
Better weather today at the clout at Driffield. Alison actually got a score today! Well done to Katrina Horton, 1st Lady Longbow and Chris Eccles, 3rd Gent Longbow.
Chris Eccles also split the flag pole on the first scoring end, but it wasn’t enough to take best clout.
Great to be back at clout today at York, meeting up with old friends. A very challenging headwind made it quite difficult, especially for Alison as none of her arrows reached the scoring zone, but Katrina came away with a nice bit of bling as 2nd Lady Longbow.
Thank you to York Archers for putting on the event and the very welcoming, super tasty chill and tacos that was put on for lunch
