Racketts Archery Club opened their doors for their annual Christmas Worcester shoot this weekend. As always this is by far the most relaxed and friendly shoot on the archery calendar with Christmas carols playing the background and many archers taking advantage of the invitation to dress up in Christmas outfits.

Braintree Bowmen were very well represented throughout the day with club archers competing in all 3 of the sessions. With 8 BB archers present at different times the club flag was flown high and proud.

Colchester and District Archery Club held their annual Bill Tucker Memorial Tournament on 6th May 2019. The event invited archers from all over the southern counties to compete in York, Hereford and Western rounds. It was announced that this would be the last tournament hosted by CADAC at this venue as they await a permanent move to brand new facilities in 2020.

Representing Braintree Bowmen on the day were Ian Bugbee in the York, James and Jo Moir in the Hereford, Sam Moir in the Western and Ben Moir in the Short Western.

The annual Havering Youth Games signifies the start of the competitive summer seasonand at their new home ground Abbey Bowmen hosted the under 18s tournament at Noak Hill Sports Centre. The archery Gods were smiling down on the day with near perfect conditions - warm sunshine and just the hint of a breeze to keep competitors comfortable.

As usual the turn out was very encouraging with close to 40 young archers taking place. Ages ranged from 8 to 17 and competition was fierce at all distances. Brothers Sam and Ben Moir were representing Braintree Bowmen in the Short National and Junior National respectively.

All welcome!

Braintree Bowmen are looking forward to welcoming archers for 2 competitions over the next couple of months.

In August we have the Owen Hull Memorial shoot. Held on the 4th August this competition is open to all and is held in memory of one of Braintree Bowmen’s former Chairmen, Owen Hull. This is always a popular event for club members, visiting archers and families for both the shooting and the food as the current Chairman gets the BBQ out and lunch is included in the entry price.

Please find belowthe results for Sunday, we hoped you enjoyed the day.  We also had two Essex County Records broken on Sunday, so congratulations to Amelia Chumber and Katie Litton-Hayes, plus a 6 gold end claim for James Moir.

Hopefully we will see you all at our 3D Field Shoot in September.
