All Members, Junior and Senior, are invited to take part in the Club's Annual Indoor Target Championships.

These will be held in the sports hall at Longdendale High School in Hollingworth on Sunday 23rd February 2020. The competition is open to all bow types and will commence with sighters at 10.30 am. The round to be shot is a Portsmouth, 5 dozen arrows at 20 yards on a 60cm target face.

If you are planning on attending please give yourselves plenty of time, at least 30 minutes, to set-up your equipment, register with the Tournament Officer and allow yourself to settle down and prepare for the competition.

As this venue requires the club to transport all the equipment - safety nets, stands and targets, then set-up the shooting range within the sports hall, as many Senior Members as possible are required to assist with loading the vans at the Club from about 8.00 am, unloading at the school and then returning everything to the Club when finished.

Any refreshments you require during the event you will need to bring with you, as well as a folding chair if you wish to sit down when not shooting, as seating in the hall is limited.

There will be an award ceremony at the conclusion of the event, which will include the Indoor awards as well as other annual trophies awarded to Members for achievements during the previous year.

So come on, have a go and give it your best shot.
