Bitton Archers

Who knew that a hot air balloon and archery could look so good together? 🏹🎈🎯

Sun was out again this weekend and Bitton Archers loved it, Derek in particular made the most of it with a fantastic grouping!! (first photo)

Beautiful Bitton weekend! 🎯🏹☀️☀️

From Phil having a special badge being part of the drizzle brigade to a beautiful bank holiday afternoon shooting, this Easter weekend saw the best of both worlds for archery when it comes to weather 😂🏹🎯🌤🌧

P.s. that target face shows great work from Stuart with longbow at 50m, preparing for a competition at the end of the month.

Out with the dark and cold of winter, in with the sunshine of spring.
Outdoor season is well and truly back 🎯🏹🌤🌞

On Saturday, we conducted our club 300 Vegas competition, 6 arrows in 5 ends shot at 40cm targets with a couple on the three spots.

First of all a massive thank you to Rudner Lauterjung Queiroz for organising a fantastic event (as well as being the day's field captain and judge!).
