The latest event in the NAC Target Day Shoot Competition took place on Saturday 20th July. This time the competition was a “Windsor” round consisting of three (3) distances of three (3) Dozen arrows at each distance.
9 dozen arrows were shot by each member and we were lucky that the burning sun of late was covered by a nice layer of cloud giving some respite from the heat.
I did take several pictures during the shoot but not enough to put an album together this time as I felt I needed to concentrate on the shooting of arrows and not “subjects”……………….. however I will add a couple here.
This years Hollowell Steam Rally got off to a good start on the Friday when volunteers met at Sywell to load up and take the equipment and errect it at Hollowell. The NAC’s new gazebo can be seen in the picture attached and the weather could not have been better. We were cooking on all sides as we put the equipment together and gallons of sun tan oil was needed. Furthermore the Saturday and Sunday was extremely busy with Have A Go-ers and the volunteers were kept busy on both days. This event is probable our main even and it is local to Northampton. We have raised money for the NAC which will benifit all members as the more income we get the greater the chance is of holding fees at current levels. We are gratefull to all those members who attended and shared the workload as in the heat of the day it was very hard at times.
Pictures are now posted on are webpage within the Gallery section. An e-mail will be circulated by the Chairperson expressing thanks to all who helped at anytime during the 3 day event.

Three of our junior archers left the Sywell shooting range last Saturday with very big smiles on their faces. Namely Grace Windram, Ewan Fowler-Jardine and Lizzie Lovell were extremely happy after receiving well earned Archery Awards.
Both Grace and Ewan had completed and passed their Archery Beginners Course and to top that Lizzie had completed and passed her FITA Black Arrow Award.
The presentations were made during the normal Saturday shooting session at Sywell. I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating all three of our juniors who had worked hard to complete their courses. Pictures of the three are shown here,
