Many congratulations to Zara for a great 1st place on an extremely windy field yesterday. Competing in the ladies’ compound at the Sussex County Championships she achieved a brilliant first place!
One of our longbow archers, Paul Campion made 2nd in the men’s longbow section despite the challenging wind. Paul said, ‘I totally enjoyed the challenge of shooting in the very windy conditions. And had a very enjoyable morning.”
In the afternoon, our two other archers, Ben Green (recurve) and Iain Cadle (barebow), didn’t fare as well due to the tricky conditions. Ben said, ‘There were quite a few ends running close to the time limit. On one end 70 seconds had gone before I got the first shot off leaving only 30 seconds for the last 2 arrows.’
Congratulations to all the winners. Full results on Sussex County Archery.
Down on the archery field at Ditchling, we had trees down and the cricket screen even blew over the fence! So we realise how tough the conditions were down on the coast in Angmering.
