Plans for indoor shooting during the pandemic

Following confirmation from Archery GB that indoor shooting can continue, the Club Committee has been working with Rickmansworth School to create a plan that should allow as many archers as possible to shoot, while ensuring a COVID-19 compliant shooting environment.

All club members should have received an email from the Chairman with the procedure for indoor shooting. There is a restricted number of spaces per session but this is compensated for by additional sessions. Our approach is intended to ensure that there is as much opportunity and fairness for everyone to have a great indoor season. 

If you have any questions about the indoor shooting procedure please contact the committee.

February 2017: Club success at the County indoors!

There was a good turnout from the club at the February 2017 Herts County Indoors, and plenty of medals achieved!

Gents recurve: Adrian Currall took silver, and Kieron Lehmann-Mayne took bronze.

Ladies Compound: Maureen Miller took bronze.

And the club took silver in the team recurve.

Well done all!
