The Phoenix Bowmen Club Championships will be held on Sunday the 18th of September 2016. Sorry it's short notice - arranging anything has been tricky this year.
Please note that I won't be shooting or blowing the whistle, since I'll have beginners from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM.
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).
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.
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...! This has previously been awarded to the lowest score, but this year we'll award it to the worst performance against handicap so the non-lonbgbow shooters have a chance.
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.
The crap bit of junk will be awarded for the worst scoring arrow on a random end.
We'd like all trophy winners from last year to return their trophies before the shoot, please.
Food-wise, we ask that everyone brings their own, unless someone fancies catering or organising 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.
