Season Opener

We managed a good turnout for the seasonal opener on Sunday. Great weather helped make the day an enjoyable one, but there were more than a few people complaining about aching muscles by the time we packed the targets away.

Despite it being the first shoot of the outdoor season we had Junior Bowman scores recorded by Asija and Jesse Zeidaks and by Matt Savage, and club records broken by Alistair Adie (Short National -Traditional Bow), Tim Eavis (Short Western – Gents Recurve), Asija Zeidaks (Western – Ladies U13 Recurve), Jesse Zeidaks (Western – Gents U16 Recurve) and Suzy Warner-Nicholas (Ladies U18 Recurve – Western). Well done to all of you.

Rivernook American – The new season gets under way!

The new outdoor season got off to a good start on Sunday 27th, with the Rivernook American shoot. Great weather and a really friendly event at Rivernook’s new home at Imber Court. Royal Richmond were well represented in longbow and recurve, seniors and juniors. Well done to Matt Savage and Jesse Zeidaks, who took silver and gold respectively in the Junior Mens Recurve, and to Sabina Browne, who took bronze in the Womens Longbow. The rest of us had to make do with raffle prizes, winning about half of those on offer!
