The table shows our shooting diary, not too far up front yet as we are so new and working things out little-by-little.
As a rough guide we will mainly shoot Target on Saturdays and Sunday mornings and Clout or Roving Marks in the afternoons. As we do not have restricted shooting times in any way we are able to change things at very short notice if we fancy shooting anything different.
Weekday and times not covered by the diary shooting will be decided by those members attending.

Unless otherwise stated experienced non-members are welcome to come and shoot at £7 per session eg 11.00 until 2.30ish.
Please note the £7 includes our insurance for the day.

Our target field and overshoot is 320 yards long so people can practice clout while others shoot short distance target ( up to 60yards). Those shooting clout/distance shoot on the left of the shooting line, target archers to the right. Those collecting clout/distance arrows leave the field upon collection and walk down the side of the field to return to the shooting line. This practice allows the target archers to shoot an end of short distance target instead of waiting for what seems ages for the distance shooters to return.
Those walking off the field signal to the Field Captain when they have safely left the shooting zone. The Field Captain will then whistle for the target archers to shoot an end.

Mind you, the distance shooters are quite often back to the shooting line while the target archers are still searching for those elusive 'hidden-in-the-grass' arrows!

As from January 2010 we are operating a Rota system at weekends whereby Keyholders nominate times they will be on the Club Grounds for shooting. In line with our constitution we need two SFers in attendance to shoot ( I note this has been adopted by the GNAS since we put it into place two years ago!). We enjoy informal shooting but need a structured approach to times at weekends, to lessen the pressure on the few who tend to turn up on time.
