Targets 15 and 16 Back into the top of our flat Target Field
15 Ashot at a Ram through the trees.
16 Deer grazing on old rugby field, looks easy but the trees
and woodland some 200yards behind the target gave strange
visual cues which made the 50 yard shot very tricky.

A big thank you to everyone who attended our first Field Shoot.The weather was in our favour Friday to lay out the course and all day Saturday the sun shined.

We decided to make it a 16 times 2 shoot as it would have taken too long to complete the course in a day!

For a Field Shoot each target has three pegs for adults (and one for junior archers) the archer has to shoot from peg 1 (foot touching the peg), if the arrow hits the target (kill or wound) then the archer has finished on that target, if the archer misses he/she moves to the next peg and tries again, a miss on the third peg means no score!
