Aardwolf Archers

Since the weather is turning a bit chillier we will be shooting the shorter Warwick round for our end of month club shoot. That is 2 dozen arrows at one distance and 2 dozen arrows at the next shortest distance (the longest distance being the one you are confident shooting at). As ever cakes and medals available - See you there!.

This month's end of month club shoot will be National Rounds. That's 4 dozen arrows and 2 dozen arrows at 2 distances. A selection of distances will be available to suit beginners and experienced archers alike and, of course, there will be cakes and medals!

This Sunday - 4th September - to celebrate the move to Handsworth, we will be holding "The Great Roast Turkey Fun Shoot." We will be shooting at fun targets and having a break for turkey cobs. Start time is 12 30 for set up and shooting to commence at 1 pm. There will be a small charge of  £2 per person to cover food. Hope to see you there!

The end of month shoot for August 28th will be Windsors. Distances to suit all ages and abilities, tea, cakes and some medals up for grabs as usual. As a Windsor is 3 sets of 3 dozen arrows at 3 distances this is a great chance to get in some 252's as well as a formal round!

Members have been out, managed to find us at the new site and so far feedback is positive.  Here's a few photos from the first couple of sessions. Hopefully we'll see those who haven't been able to make it so far very soon!

We've been busy at the new field today getting things marked out so everything is all set for our first shoot at the new site tomorrow (19 August).  The cabins open, the equipment is intact and from the picture you can see Martin and Shaun testing out a couple of targets at 60 & 100 yards - just to make sure all is in working order! The field looks lovely and we hope to see as many of you as possible down at the new site.

The cabins were successfully moved today and are now safely at our new location at Handsworth Grange Community College. Our new field is at the back and marked on the map.  Parking will be available on the field eventually, but please do bear with us as with all new things and freshly moved homes we won't have everything sorted out perfectly just yet!

Just a reminder that tonight (15 August 2016) will be the last shoot for us at our Westfield site before it gets dug up to make new football pitches.  Friday's shoot will be at our new site at Handsworth Grange NOT at Westfield. I hope we have managed to catch everyone via email, phone, etc about the move but apologies in advance to anyone who turns up at Westfield on Friday and wonders where the cabins have gone.

 Since we have a lot going on at the moment in finding a new home for Aardwolf, the club will not be running a Have-A-Go stall at Aston Gala this year.  Once we've regrouped we hope to participate in Aston and other community galas next year.
