9th Sep 2023 - Sevenoaks Archery Club Championships
The field was set out for Western 60’s for the grown ups and western 40’s for the juniors, for the 8 dozen arrow round.
The tournament was very well attended, even being the hottest day of the year.
Shortly after an AGM filled lunch, a speech was made in remembrance of the passing of Bill Terry (President and Chair SAC). By tradition, a longbow arrow was shot in his honour.
Bill will be remembered for his incredible contribution to archery and unwavering support of the Sevenoaks Archery Club as well as the West Kent Archery Society.
As the shooting continued into the afternoon, temperatures were getting hotter and so was the competition.
The final scores were delivered by Jeremy and awarded for their sterling achievements and progress in archery.
On one of the junior targets was an unusual Robin Hood - James successfully destroyed one of Sophie’s arrows. Mushroomed!!
(Just to note that Gary will recover from parting with the men’s trophy from last year and will make a comeback next year - watch out Jeremy!!!)

We hosted our first friendly junior tournament in the spirit of encouraging young archers to develop their skills and to get a feel for actual tournament conditions.
The event started at around 10:30am with 9 juniors, in total all of mixed ability and bow type. The round was a double Warwick that was shot at 40 yards and 30 yards by all and the scores were settled using their handicaps for the day.
With music played by Gary and fair weather ordered by Jamie, it made for an ideal day for shooting.
Colour prizes were awarded to the following archers:
Best gold - Alex
Best red - Matilda
Best blue - Matilda
Best black - Belle
Best white - Matilda
U15 medals went to: U18 medals went to:

We would like to give a big thank you to the all junior archers who participated in the event and all those who helped with setting up the field and those lucky parents who were called up for scoring!
