Aurora Field Archery Club

Amazing weekend at The NFAS 3D Champs in the grounds of Belvoir Castle - awesome location and woods for two perfect champs courses courtesy of Castle Bowmen and Centaura Field Bowmen - brilliant job by both teams for creating such challenging and interesting tracks - you’re all amazing - thank you 🙌🤩

Conditions were gruelling at times with the heat and humidity but spirits remained high and we were all kept wonderfully fed and watered throughout by the Harlequin catering team - awesome job 🙏😋

Huge thanks to the whole NFAS team led by the indomitable, indefatigable Richard Wright - I doff my hat to you Sir and everyone involved in making it happen 🫡🙌 The time and effort put into these events before, during and after is immense and we truly appreciate it - thank you 🙏

Personally I’d like to thank my incredible shooting buddies for both days - Erica, Rob, Andy and Taha - you were the best 🙏🤩

Half a dozen Auroreans made the trip and had a fantastic time and now have a National Champion and Bronze medalist in our midst 🥇🥉

Huge congratulations to Owen on winning the Under 12 Boys Barebow crown with a fantastic performance over the two days in his first ever champs and to Kieran on securing 3rd position in Bowhunter against some very stiff completion - totally deserved reward for all the time and effort put in over the year under the tutelage of his awesome coach and honorary Aurorean Sorin who secured Silver himself in Barebow despite shooting the second day with a torn Achilles… beast mode engaged 💪😮‍💨

Very well done and super proud of you all 🥹💪🙌

Looking forward to the Nationals already 👍👍

Xx

Evening all,

At our last shoot on 10/5/26, there were 2 tabs left behind that were found on the grass in the car park.

I have them safe and sound and will be at the champs this weekend, PM and let me know if you will be there to and i will happily reunite them with you.

Kieran Grundon.

Brilliant day at Harlequin Bowhunters today - excellent course that totally baffled my distance judgement radar 🤣🤣 kudos to the course setters - done me over good and proper 😆🙌

Fab catering, excellent organisation and super warm welcome - huge thanks to the home team for making it so 🙏🙏

A couple of Auroreans took the trip ooop North and had a blast - thanks to Paul and Big Al for being such fun shoot buddies 🙌🙏

Hi All,

As promised, some great pics of the Aurora Master Archer shoot last weekend courtesy of John Hillsden - huge thanks John 👍🙏

While I’m here, I’ll be disposing of the scorecards the week after the Champs. If you’d like yours signed, please let me know as soon as possible and I'll organise that - thanks xx

Aurora Master Archer shoot

Loads of pics from the day to come courtesy of John Hillsden 😆 but in the meantime, I wanted to share the luckiest shot of the day - my photo of Linda Lehane - check out her arrow 😲🙌

Well that’s another Aurora Master Archer shoot done and dusted with a huge thank you to everyone who joined us today - we really appreciate your continuing support and especially when you give such fabulous feedback 🙏

Many congratulations to all the medal winners and to our 11 newly anointed Master Archers - that was a tricky course today and there were some cracking scores 👏 well done one and all 🙌 Just a shame someone turned off the heating 🥶🤣

Here are the final scores on the doors 😆

Thank you to Steve for presenting the medals 🙏

Big thanks to Kieran, Shaun, Dave and Ken for the fantastically devious course, Garry for keeping everyone fed and watered, Spencer for the fabulous target sign art, and all Aurora members who helped in any way - you are all total stars 🤩

We’re looking forward to welcoming many of you back for our next shoot on 6th September. Online booking will be opening soon.

See you in the woods soon and may your arrows fly straight 🙏

Another fabulous day at King’s Lynn Field Archers today - always a challenging track utilising the super-interesting and varied terrain to great effect, this time notched up even more… brilliant 💪👍

Very well done and huge thanks to everyone on the home team for making it so - from admin and marshalling to catering and of course, the course laying - top job one and all 🙌🙌

A trio of Auroreans made the trip (accompanied by Hazel - our very own and much-needed chaperone 🤣) and had a great day scooping a couple of gold medals and an unseemly number of raffle prizes (how many tickets did you buy Kieran? 🤣)

Thanks to Tony and Ash for being such great shooting buddies 🙏 oh and to Sarah Cope for taking the wonderfully wonky group photo - class 🙏🙌

Here’s to next time 💪👍

Well done and a huge thank you to everyone involved in making it so - great job 🙌🙌🙏

A brace of Auroreans made the trip cross country and it was worth every mile with us scooping a first and second place and some booze in the raffle to boot 🍾🥃 - huge thanks to Bryan and Patrick for bring such awesome shooting buddies 🙏🙏
