The Shoot was crowned by a National Record Claim and two Six-Gold-End Claims – more detail will follow in the Tournament report.

Two weeks before on 4th September the County Clout Championships welcomed twenty visitors, unlike last year when it had to be an all-Sussex affair. There were eight Tassel Award Claims, and two Metric Six-Clout-End Claims, both from Sussex Archers

And the County Field Championships was held at Frairs Gate Archers Fletching Course on Sunday 29th August, in the form of a 28-target Forester Round, making a change from the usual WA Round.

The Shoot was blessed with the best of July weather, with just a hint of breeze. It was the last day before the Covid-19 Restrictions were relaxed,  so numbers were still set at two archers per target. The shoot was completely full, Longbows and Barebows in the morning session and Recurves in the afternoon, and there was room for one target of Compounds, Gents in the morning and Ladies in the afternoon. Very few of the entrants had shot competitively since the end of last summer, so this was a near perfect way to dust off the skills and make a not-too-stressful re-boot.

Social Distancing was no problem at the County Junior Championships held at Adur Valley’s grounds on 19th September, but the threat of Covid-19 did have an effect on the number of participants, which was mostly a result of difficulties getting the right kind of practice this Summer in the run-up to the Championships.
As with the Clout Championships, it was lovely and sunny, but with an added challenging wind all day. This is the second time the Junior Championships has taken this type of format, a 6-dozen-shot Round at a smaller venue, and it proved once again that separating the shoot from the senior championships is much more inclusive.

Many thanks to Adur Valley Archers for hosting the shoot and setting up the field, and thanks also to our Judge, David Strong and to the Lady Paramount Gemma Underwood.

Adur Valley Archers successfully hosted the Clout Championships, under the control of judge Warwick Drew. Numbers were limited in accordance with Covid-19 Control Guidelines, and Social Separation and special scoring and arrow gathering routines were followed, but there was little impact on the progress of the tournament.

The shoot was the first Clout Tournament in the UK to be carried out in accordance with Archery GB ‘Return to Competition’ Guidelines and Government Covid-19 control Guidelines. Numbers were restricted so that there were fewer than 30 people at the venue, however we were able accommodate all the Sussex Archers who wanted to attend, plus half a dozen guests. And after a stretch of poor weather, the shoot took place under almost perfect conditions.

We are going run a County Clout Championship on September 5th AND the Junior Championships on 19th September.

The Clout Tassel Scheme has been dropped for all approved shoots apart from one that was held in February. But we will hold a smaller ‘County and Invitation’ shoot with a maximum of 30 people on the field (including officials and helpers). And we will be holding a similar sized Junior Championships in September.

The Junior Championships had a warm sunny day with a stiff cross-breeze, but the Senior Championships caught some seriously nasty weather up until the last few arrows – well done those who held out to the end.
