Good luck for the Scottish Championships

Quick note to all NFAS archers heading north of the border for the Scottish Championships this weekend.

Normally the shoot, hosted by Aulk Kirk  (http://www.auldkirkbowmen.co.uk/) Bowmen is held over Easter but due to heavy snow this year it was postponed to August Bank holiday.

Here’s hoping you have good weather and great shooting over weekend and good luck.

Scottish Championships CANCELLED

This is to all NFAS friends that were heading to Scotland over Easter Weekend for the Scottish Championships.

Due to adverse weather conditions the event has been cancelled.

Some of you maybe aware that the UK is presently blanketed in snow and more is falling. The event is run in an abandoned quarry and I quote from the organisers

“The courses are over a steep woodland and rocky route with dips and climbs making for slippery conditions, and bumps and lumps which are now obscured by snow. The AKB course layer and his assistants have indicated that they feel it is unsafe to proceed. “

Can people please pass this message on to all NFAS archers they know so the message can get out there.

Thanks for reading

NFAS championships – good luck all

This weekend will see the NFAS run the annual championships this year  at Arley Hall, Cheshire. We won’t be attending this year, instead we are heading to North  Wales to celebrate my mams 70th birthday.
We hope the championships  goes well and want to wish everyone good luck and dry weather.
From what I understand due to a  combination of timing and down turn in economy numbers are down. With about 400 competitors as opposed to the normal 500+. The result of this drop in numbers has been reduced the number of courses from 3 to 2. Unlike other championships the Nationals are entirely paper faces, no 3D targets.
If you are interested here are links to previous championships 2012 3D, 2011 NFAS
So good luck all.
Thanks for reading.
