Something New, an Inter-club Challenge

Something new this year. David Quemby has arranged with three other clubs in the county to form an Inter-club Challenge. There will be teams from each club, 4 different venues, and 4 different disciplines.

Shoot 1 21-05-16 WOAC, American Round, 14.30 at Old Grammarians Memorial Sports Field, Sywell Road, Wellingborough, NN8 6BS

Shoot 2 11-06-16 LBAC, Field, 13.00, Rugby Club Daventry NN11 4ST

Shoot 3 24-07-16 KAC, Clout, 10.00, Cricket and Sports Club, Kettering NN15 7JX

Shoot 4 30-07-16 NAC, Pope Young, 16.00, Sywell Range

There are no compounds for the Clout and Pope Young

NAC members can enter for all 4 shoots or just 1 shoot, whatever they would like. It will not necessarily be the same team for each shoot and NAC will try and give as many people a shoot as possible. The idea is for archers to get experience at the different disciplines, so no previous experience is necessary. If you are not sure about anything or need to ask about Field shooting, Clout or the Pope Young then please come and ask Dave Quemby. Members of other clubs in the challenge should contact their own organiser.

The final shoot, the Pope Young hosted by ourselves, will also include a BBQ. All welcome even if you are not shooting for the team.

Everyone is welcome to come along to any of the venues to support and watch if you do not make the team.

UK Record Set by NAC Shooter Susan Corless

Our congratulations to NAC Compound Shooter, Susan Corless for setting a new UK National record for the Vegas Round. Susan shot a score of 570 at the Clophill Archery Club’s Second indoor triple Round Shoot on the 17th January this year, beating the old record of 562. An increase of 8 points at that level is no mean feat. Well done Susan.

NAC Open Portsmouth 2016

Archers came from far and wide to take part in NAC’s 2016 Open Portsmouth held at John Ashby Sports Hall on Sunday 28th February 2016. Shooters from 12 clubs took part in the tournament, which was NAC’s fourth open event at Moulton. In addition to Northamptonshire – Staffordshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and the West Midlands were all represented by 48 archers. Despite a heating failure in the hall on a cold day, a good day was had by all. Some fantastic shooting at a great (but cold) venue. The results can be found here.

We had another almost full turnout for the 2016 Pete Kenny Memorial Shoot on Saturday 6th February at John Ashby Sports Hall, Moulton, with some brilliant scores from our archers. As usual the round was a Worcester, and the competition was followed by the presentation of Trophies and medals in the College cafeteria. Well done to all who shot.
