Castle Bowmen’s New Year H/C Shoot

to determine the Club Champion for the year

To determine the Club Champion for the year we shoot the unique ‘Seal Round’ (4 dozen arrows at 40yds shot in 4’s).

A Handicap levelling score is added to everyone's score, so everyone has an equal chance of winning. The club champion receives an award, presented to them at the annual club dinner.

2016 Club Champion - CaZ’ P’

Ten of Castle Bowmen's finest, if slightly crazy, archers braved the rain, wind and mud to shoot the Club’s New Year Annual H/C shoot to find the club champion. Chairman Rick was on hand to officiate, make judgement on line cutters and mostly to hand out dry score sheets when they became illegible in the rain, mud or got blown away by the wind. Much fun was had by all.

Congratulations to Caz P’ for winning the new Year Club Handicap shoot and becomes Club champion for the year. If you missed the presentations at the Annual club dinner (which means you also missed the delicious food too) in second place was Stuart H’, and in bronze medal position was new boy Dave M’.

Well done to all.

2017 Club Champion   - CaZ’ P’

The weather for this year’s New Year / Club Champion shoot was surprisingly free from rain. It wasn’t what you could call warm, and last year’s mud still made an appearance,  but 23 of the bravest Castle Bowmen archers came to shoot for the honour of the Club Champion title.

The challenging 40 yard  tournament went well enjoyed by all.

As usual the Club Champion Trophy, along with the Novice medal for those not having shot a scored round before, was announced and presented at the Clubs late Christmas Dinner near the end of January.

For the 3rd year running Caroline P’ won the award and title of Club Champion again, David H’ came in 2nd place and Lee P’ 3rd.  The novice award medal was won by Andrew P’.
