What's new at your club?

Hi Marcus, spare a thought for the poor Welsh then, we need a shooting line cover to stay dry! Mind you we've had up to 30 degrees all of this week!

I'm not too sympathetic, had to shoot in 7°c today. Not nice, no wind though

The metal roof is going on at our new facility. Bet it wont be ready by September though.

This will allow us to shoot in summer under cover and help protect us against the nasty Aussie sun. Jan/Feb is pretty bad down here, often reaching 40°C with massive UV ratings. Pretty easy to burn within 30min just shooting. By contrast I spent 3 weeks in Madrid last year under 35°c heat and barely tanned.

I cant believe we would be able to do anything like that here in the UK. Is there a picture of the design you can post or a photo even. Covers keep out the rain as well so its not as if we wouldnt have a use for it.

You'll be wanting targets that roll back to the shooting next.
Now when I was a lad...............

My county (SAMPAA) had its U18 Gents Recurve Portsmouth record broken on the 19th of November. It was prevously 570, and on the 19th i shot a 572 at a County open championship, qualifying for the record claim.

One of my club members gained a Blue tassel in a record status Clout competition..

other than that.. its all quiet on the Radnor Foresters front

We just built a sunshade for our target range. With high UV levels in Australia and 35-40 degree heat in summer this has been long overdue.
It's 90m long and designed to shade the line till about 4pm.
Took 2 days to put up, ironically I got burnt while helping with it.
It woin't stop the wind though.

We had our ground inspected by Regional Judge and were given the ok to use it for all levels of competition as the facilities were deemed so good. We are only in existence a few months but are considering holding a tournament next year.
