The weatherman made dire threats of storms with 40mph winds but the shoot went ahead and lo the weatherman was wrong!
The shoot was attended by thirteen of our archers and all they had to contend with was a cold day with a few showers and a stiff breeze, oh and the usual Fonmon course challenges such as large quantities of mud, nothing new there then.
Everyone was very grateful to the support crew for the catering, it has become a very welcome feature of most of our shoots and from all the archers that shoot at Fonmon we say a heartfelt - Thank You !
The day went well for all and some good scores were put in. A very warm welcome back to Rod Umney, only his second shoot back at Fonmon in a class shoot for quite a while and a Welsh Record in the bag!
A warm welcome goes to Leah for her first shoot at Fonmon, Leah was shooting cub pegs to get used to the course and competition and put in a very respectable score showing good promise for when she gets up to the junior pegs.
Another warm welcome goes to Jack, shooting cub pegs on his first outing at Fonmon in a competition, giving him the opportunity to show a relaxed style and a superb score showing a lot of promise for the future.
Molly was also shooting, this being her second competition but first shoot at Fonmon. She put in a good score from cub pegs, getting into the swing of competition shooting and will soon be shooting records if she carries on as she is.
The other usual suspects were in attendance and put in respectable scores – some were shooting cub pegs to sort out equipment issues ready for the next tournament – some were shooting full pegs and in the main being satisfied with the scores they put in.
The 2nd welsh record of the day went to Chris, no real surprise to most as he continues to show the excellent form we have all come to expect.
All the score are listed below in no particular order with notes if they are a Welsh record and or a LMA Fonmon course record.
