All,
The Phoenix Bowmen Club Championships will be held on Sunday the 31st of August 2014.
We'll assemble at 10:30 AM for an 11:00 AM start. Please try to get there for 10:30 - there's a lot to be done.
The rounds shot will be Western-family (4 dozen at a longer distance, 4 dozen at a shorter distance).
Most seniors will shoot a Western round - 4 dozen at 60 yards, 4 dozen at 50 yards.
New seniors who are not confident of hitting at 60 yards can shoot shorter distance rounds. Please let me know if you would prefer a shorter round and the maximum distance at which you feel comfortable.
Visually impaired seniors will shoot a Burntwood 3 round - 4 dozen at 30 yards on a 60cm face then 4 dozen at 30 yards on an 80cm face, five-zone scoring. This round will also be available to anyone who's not comfortable yet beyond 30 yards, but please let me know if you want to shoot this. Only VI archers will be eligible for awards on this round.
Juniors will shoot a Junior Western (4 dozen at 40 yards, 4 dozen at 30 yards), unless they prefer to shoot a different round. If you'd prefer to shoot a shorter or longer distance, please let me know.
There will be awards and trophies in all categories. This will include a handicap award, which will show who has shot best compared to their usual standard. This one is everyone's best chance of a trophy! To be eligible for this award, you need a handicap, of course. For this to be calculated, you must have submitted three scores for this year to David King. These can be scores from proper rounds or scores from three dozen arrows at any distance.
And there will be the wooden spoon...
The Nick Crowther Trophy will be awarded for the best gold at the longer distance.
The Stan Broadbent Trophy will be awarded for the best gold at the shorter distance.
We'd like all trophy winners from last year to return their trophies before the shoot, please.
Food-wise, we ask that everyone brings something that can be shared - sausage rolls, sandwiches, biscuits, fig rolls, whatever. We'll then stack them on a table and have what Lancastrians and Hebden Bridgies call a "Jacob's Join".
I'd be grateful if you could let me know whether or not you will be attending, so we know how many targets to set up.
Hope to see you there.
Tim
