I am pleased to confirm that the field will re-open for outdoor shooting from Monday 29th March in accordance with the easing of some of the current lockdown restrictions but the club hut remains closed until further notice. The booking system is now live.
Protocols will be the same as before; please use the hand sanitiser and anti-bacterial spray on equipment before and after shooting, and ensure you sign in and out as we are legally required to record attendance. Only one household bubble per boss, and please maintain 2m social distancing at all times.
4-January-2021: Following the Government announcement tonight regarding enforcing a lock down across the UK, shooting Archery at the outdoor field is currently suspended for the foreseeable future. We will let you all know when we are able to reopen again according to Government guidelines. Apologies for the inconvenience.
16-December-2020: This is to let you know that, due to the ongoing Covid19 restrictions, and the small numbers who have been shooting indoors this season making it financially unviable, the committee has taken the very difficult decision to cancel indoor shooting at Lacey Green Village Hall for the remainder of the season.
We are hopeful that we will be able to return to normal for the 2021/22 indoor season.
Dear Club Members
As you will have read, the field is open again for socially distanced shooting from today but indoor shooting in Lacey Green is suspended till next year. Normally at this time of the year we would have a postal Portsmouth competition , the club Frostbite competition and a postal Frostbite competition. The good news is that all of these competitions are still taking place, but with some differences.
So if you are able to do some shooting then give these two rounds a go. It doesn’t matter what level you are at or whether you shoot recurve, longbow, compound or barebow.
Frostbite Round 36 arrows (+ 6 arrows sighters) Shooting at 30m on a 80cm target face Scoring = 10, 9, 8, 7 etc.
Can be shot either six arrows then score OR 3 arrows then score
Portsmouth Round 60 arrows (+6 arrows sighters) Shooting at 20 yards on a 60cm target face Scoring = 10, 9, 8, 7 etc
Normally an indoor round shooting 3 arrows then scoring but can be shot outdoors scoring after 3 or 6 arrows
Then send me your scores, either a pdf or similar or a photo of your score sheet or just an email. I need score, hits and golds (just 10s), bow type and date shot.
Please send to records@whiteleafbowmen.org.uk
I will then enter scores in: The Selby Postal League – Frostbite Scores
SCAS Postal Competition – Portsmouth Scores
Club Frostbite Handicap Tournament
Please submit scores as soon after you have shot them as you can, as each competition has different rules.
Good Shooting
