Colwyn Bowmen

An awesome family fun day yesterday! Its always nice to see new faces trying archery! Hope everyone had a fab time 🏹🎯

….and it was very hot too!
Although it was perfect conditions for trying out newly-fletched four vane arrows at 50m for some.
😎🥵

A bit of fun shooting flu-flu arrows yesterday afternoon and a lovely day it was too!🏹

Could be another batch of new club members after their first experience of “shooting arrows” last night as part of “Start Archery Week 2026”?
Obviously a bit more to the sport than just that, but everyone’s enthusiasm and feedback was very positive.
Well done all and thanks for giving archery a go with Colwyn Bowmen

A very enjoyable session in nice warm weather yesterday.
Notable first outdoor 252 Award achievements were:
Gethin Hughes(U19) @ 10yrd and 20yrd
Hollie Jenkins (U19) @ 10yrds
Izzy Robinson (U19) @ 10yrds
Vicky Ashworth @ 20yrds and 30yrds
John Fairhurst @ 20yrds
Jonathan Harrison @ 20yrds
Ian Thomas @ 20yrds
(All witnessed scores)
The 252 awards are a bit of focused fun but also a way to improve your performance at gradually increasing distances (starting at 20yrds for seniors which is why Ian and I are on “the list” too).
We plan to award the achievement badges towards end of summer so plenty of time for everyone to challenge themselves, score a few rounds and see what distances you can achieve!?

A remarkably full gold at this afternoon's outdoor shoot 👌

Another keen group which we have enjoyed helping start on their archery journey with a couple more hopefully completing their final sessions in the next week or two.

A few pics from today's visit to Pendragon Field Archery. The backstops were put to good use, it was a great experience and very different to target shooting! Safe to say we all had a fantastic time, thanks to Pendragon 👌

🏹 It’s Been a Busy Two Weeks for Colwyn Bay Bowmen! 🏹

What a fantastic and action-packed couple of weeks it’s been!

On Saturday 7th February, several of our archers travelled to Upton to take part in the Chester Indoor Competition.

🥈 Hollie came 2nd in her u14 category

🧀 Olivia, Ian, Sam & Hollie all collected “Cheshire Cheese” progress badges – a fantastic achievement!

But that’s not all!

Last Sunday the team travelled to Deeside to take part in the Corus hosted by Deeside Archery Club in the Single Portsmouth and Double Portsmouth 2026 competitions. Not only were there some brilliant performances on the day, but these results also counted towards the North Wales Archery Society (NWAS) end of year competition – a great achievement all round!

🌟 Special mentions go to:
🥇 Sam – amazing work with two first place finishes!
🏅 Ian – fantastic shooting to secure two medals!
🥈 Iwan – well done on your second place award!
🥈🥈 Hollie – brilliant performance earning two second places!
🥇🥈 Vicky – outstanding shooting with a first and a second place!

We’re incredibly proud of everyone who has represented the club over the past two weeks.
