Thanks to The High Weald and Arundown Archery Clubs who have offered
to host the Field, Junior and Senior Championships, Sussex will be able
to hold these shoots in 2018, although both the Target Championships will be
on a reduced scale, compared with what we are used to.

Some more achievements by Sussex Archers this winter:

Congratulations Bryony Pitman! The 2017 UK Indoor Champion was 18^th in ladies championship recurve at the world famous Vegas Shoot that attracts 3500 archers from all over the globe!
And 5^th place at the Indoor World Cup stage 3 in Nimes…..

Kai Thomas-Prause received joint first prize for the Battle of Basing Nerves of steel!  For those not familiar with the “Nerves of Steel”, archers are challenged to shoot at a hole in a steel plate from 18m.  The hole reducing in diameter each round until the final and smallest is only 20mm!!
Maybe better not to use your prime set of tournament arrows…

And the following Sussex archers had success at the Southern Counties championships:

• Senior Ladies Recurve Bryony Pitman Worthing AC Score 1136
• Junior Compound U16 Holly Hunter High Weald Score 1059
• Senior Men Compound Tim Nash Brighton Bowmen Score 1169

Two Sussex Junior Gents were selected to shoot for England in the Home International at the Junior Indoor Championships in December, Marc Charlesworth (Recurve – Arundown) and Nathan Thomas (Compound – Worthing) tasted victory when the England Team came out on top as clear winners.
On the following day, Bryony Pitman (Worthing) finished as Lady Recurve Champion at the Senior National Indoor Meeting.
And the Sussex Team were also Winnners at the 4-way inter-County Match arranged by Kent County Archery Association the previous weekend.

Team Captain Nick Lea reports…

The Kent Indoor 4-Way tournament in Sittingbourne on November 25^h saw our archers pitted against Essex, Kent and Surrey.  Two Portsmouth rounds defined the day with Compound and Recurve archers shooting the morning session and Barebow and Longbow in the afternoon. Read the rest of this entry »

Kent Archery Association arranged the first-ever Southern Counties Inter-Counties Field Event held on 15th October. Several of the Counties invited decided not to take part this year because some of their best archers had been invited to a Selection Shoot on the same day – as indeed were ours. But Sussex has some strength in depth so we were able to field a Field Team (with a little help from our friends – see the Team Captain’s report below).

Team Captain Nick Lea’s Report….
I’m very pleased to announce that Sussex were victorious at the Kent field inter-county shoot on Sunday!
We claimed 1st, 2nd and 4th places in what was the first inter-county field tournament in the UK.  Chris Horan and Bob Beany are hoping to make this pilot tournament a regular event and act as template for other counties to follow suit. Kent had extended an invitation to ourselves, Surrey and Essex.  The fact that Surrey and Essex felt they had to withdraw due to lack of archers highlights the difficulties we were all facing.
