Five NAC archers shot at the County Outdoor Championships held at Wellingborough Archery Club on 13th September, a cloudy but warm day that later turned a little breezy. Ian Hyde came second overall in the gents longbow, but first in County with a score of 451 in the York round. Susan Corless came first in the Ladies Compound Hereford Round with a score of 1256, whilst Kelly was second in county with a score of 1182. Kelly also achieved a six gold end. Dave Docker, brought home gold in the Gents National Round. David Q sadly brought home nothing bar his usual smile, but shot well in the hotly contested gents compound. Well done again NAC.

Six NAC Members represent County at Inter Counties Shoot
No less than six members of NAC represented Northamptonshire at the 57th Inter-counties Archery Tournament held at Bramcote Archery Club in Nottingham on 6th September. Well done to Ian Hyde, Paul Hyde (both longbow); and David Quemby, Kelly Pearce, James Mason and Susan Corless (all Compound) for being part of the County team. Sadly we didn’t have recurve or barebow shooters in the team – now come on NAC. In the final reckoning, on a sunny day that started with light winds, strengthening later on, Northants came fourth in the Longbow Boat Trophy and second in the compound Bradgate Trophy. In the individual awards, Susan took first in the ladies compound, and James Mason second in the Gents compound, whilst David, Kelly, Paul and Ian all scored very respectably. Northants were last in the Recurve Thoresby Trophy and third in the Barebow Trophy. Full results can be found here. Well done NAC.
