We have had normal weekly shooting since July at Cardross, running a succession of beginner’s courses in parallel. We came to the final session of the last course of 2021 last week; we are taking a break for a few weeks from running courses, in order to work more with those who joined recently. We will run a new course starting sometime in February (to be confirmed). We already have more people on the waiting list that we could accept as members, given the size of the hall, but we will accept them in order of initial enquiry.
In the meantime, we have in mind to run some workshops on bow setup and tuning, technique, and string making. We have some members working for ArcheryGB Progress Awards (with some already earned), both indoors and now outdoors. In addition, members can collect scores to work out their handicap in preparation for some tournaments later in the year, where anybody with a handicap has the possibility of winning.
Our sincere thanks for the hospitality of the new Trident Club on the base, who have been allowing us to join them to shoot outdoors on their range. We have long wished to have the ability to shoot at distances up to 100yds, and now we can!
Since Autumn we have been using Spond to organise events and stay in touch, which is working well.
