Results, Tournaments Posted by TimPosted on Fri, April 10, 2015 13:13

It was a fair turnout for Anchor Bowmen archers at the enjoyable DCAA
Senior and Junior Indoor championship, hosted at Derby University over
the weekend of the 14th & 15th of March 2015.

It was great to see our Junior Recurve members doing so well with Ethan
Hall taking 1st place (and overall junior champion boy) in the Under 18 competition, Elliott
Wilson taking 1st in the Under 16 competition and Lewis
Haslam coming first in the Boys Under 12 competition.

Another noticeable win was for Tim Simmonds in the Gent’s Longbow competition. It’s about time he won something! smiley

Full results can be found on our tournaments page.

Well done to all!



Evening Meal at The Cosmo Restaurant

Good afternoon everyone
I would just like to say a big thank you for your support last night in attending a most enjoyable evening at the Cosmo restaurant in Derby. It was nice to see so many familiar welcoming faces when I first arrived in the reception area. I am sure you all had a great time as I did, with such a wide selection of wonderfully prepared dishes from around the world I was like a kid in a sweet shop. It was a most pleasurable experience made all the more enjoyable in your wonderful company.

I look forward to meeting up with you all at our AGM next Monday
Kind Regards
David

Club Longbow in Town

General Posted by TimPosted on Wed, September 10, 2014 14:04

We now have a club longbow, kindly crafted and donated by Rob
Gooch (we wonder how much of his garden decking area he has left!).
It’s a low poundage bow, ideal for beginners, so if you’re
interested in having a go with a ‘proper’ bow then please contact one of
the current longbowers for a free, no obligation, trial.

You will be aware from the AUK magazine that all reference to
the 1/2 Metric rounds in both the World Archery and GNAS Rule Book have
been removed as from 1 April 2014.

Therefore, all reference to these in ABAC’s Club Records & Personal Bests will be removed when next updated.
