Latest News & Notices : NEWS BoA SUCCESS IN BA
LEAGUE Congratulations!
The
Bowmen of Adel FROSTBITE TEAM won division 21 of the
2008/09 BA Postal League. Full details of league winners are published
in the autumn edition of Archery UK. _____________________
NOTICESThe indoor sessions start on Thursday 1st October - so
if anyone is available to help move the necessary equipment from the
archery store to the hall it will make the task much easier.
If we could meet at 7.00pm at the archery store, then we
can get a conveyor system going.
NEW
MARKINGS ON RANGE The archery range has
now been accurately measured and marked out using the Plifix marker
system (little tufted brushes sunk in the ground). The distances that
Cedric and Paul have fixed these markers are 30, 40, 50, 60, 80
and 100yards also 30 and 50meters (coloured yellow). The shooting line
is also marked with a Plifix at either end, if there are any left Paul
will put in one half way for when there are only a few of us shooting.
A classification is a nationally
recognized award that shows
an archer
has
achieved a set standard. They range from 3rd class to Bowman
(which
the club can award) to Master Bowman and Grand Master Bowman (which is
awarded by
the GNAS directly). The club level awards can be shot either on a club
night or
in a competition and handed to the records officer (Nick Beeson). The
GNAS awards must be shot at a record status tournament and
sent to the GNAS. To achieve the award you must shoot the required
level three
times in a season. more... HISTORY
OF THE CLUB The history of the Bowmen of Adel has now been published as a pdf document and is downloadable here. SUNDAY
MORNING SHOOTING Club
members can shoot on Sunday mornings every weekend but we
only have organised rounds in the afternoon.
If
you are thinking of coming to the club to shoot in the
morning and want to know if anyone else is coming down, post a message
on the club's message board:
 LOST ARROWS Please remember that if you cannot find an arrow you MUST complete a lost arrow form and hand it to one of the bar staff so that the groundsman is aware of the area in which it may be lying. In previous seasons a buried arrow has been found by a footballer skid tackling - so this is a safety MUST DO, not an option. NEW ON THIS SITE THIS MONTH
