Additional information

Juniors may shoot the senior distances and participate as seniors.

First-timers please note: As usual for Clout shoots, participants must have had instruction in Clout Shooting beforehand, and this must be taken to mean Practical Instruction including shooting at the Clout distances. This is particularly important for Compound bows – don’t be mislead by the diagrams in the GNAS rule-book, the ‘high trajectory’ is disallowed for all except longbows, but it simply isn’t a practical option anyway. Inexperienced compound archers expect quite naturally to have to poke the bow up a bit to get the distance, but in reality the angle is about the same most recurve archers use at 100 yards, so it seems not much different from Target Archery.

The Arundown Club in Littlehampton will be holding an open practice afternoon on Saturday 15th May (or if the weather is truly diabolical it can be re-scheduled to the following week). Details will be circulated to Sussex Clubs, and will be on the club website http://www.arundown.org.uk, either in the Blog section or the on the Tournaments page.

The first draw was made on Sunday 21st March and the prize winners were as follows:

• 1st Julia Tucknott £25

• 2nd Andrew Holdsworth £15

• 3rd Steve & Sylvia Baldwin £10

Cheques will be sent out shortly.

More members are required and the prizes will increase accordingly.

The inaugural Sussex CAA Open Barebow and Longbow Tournament will take place on Sunday, 30th May at The Holbrook Club, North Heath Lane, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 5PJ.

The shoot has UK Record Status with Rose Awards for York, Hereford and Bristol I – V rounds. The Burntwood York round is also available for VI archers.

This shoot is open to archers from both Sussex and outside counties.

Entry forms: Word file; pdf file.

Awards

Medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each bowstyle for ladies, gents, junior ladies and junior gents.

We are aware that some barebow and longbow archers prefer not to shoot the York round. Hence, medals will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gents in each bowstyle shooting the Hereford round.
