That's a shame. Pentref are primarily a field club and although we have an indoor range the most we can offer there is 18m/20yds.

Ooh wait though... the madcap in me is hatching a Cunning Plan (TM). Some questions:
  1. Are people expected to take it seriously or is it a bit of fun?
  2. How 'official' does this shoot have to be?
  3. Can it take the form of a scored practice session, with archers keeping their own scores and promising to be honest?
  4. Is there a requirement for the shoot to take place on level ground, or would a slightly sloping measured out field be OK?
I'd need to run my thoughts past the committee before I say any more here, but if answers to those questions are favourable we might be able to arrange something that can accommodate half a dozen or so archers.

No promises of any description - what I've got in mind might be completely impractical (or just plain "no") for various reasons.

Meanwhile, there are quite a few archery clubs across south Wales, most of whom have far easier access to facilities for target shoots than I do.
Is there no one here who could organise something if some of the rest of us offer to help?
