We had another absolutely incredible archery session on Thursday night. This time we were with the 1st Old Windsor Brownies back in the same location we were at two weeks ago. The weather was again absolutely great, enabling us to make use of the secluded outdoor space. As this was a smaller group, we were able to let each brownie shoot each target, and then towards the end of the session they got to shoot there favourite target. It was an honour to hand out archery badges to the group at the end of the session. Our thanks to Brown Owl Michelle for the booking, Bambi Lauren and the other leaders/parents who helped out. 🏹 🎯

We had another wonderful session with some Brownies last night. This time we went to visit the 6th Windsor Brownies. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were fascinated by how each brownie improved during the course of the evening. As there were 20 brownies in total, we had 5 in each group which allowed each brownie to shoot all four targets, as before. They liked the badges we provided too. As with the previous brownie group, they got very excited for the Minion target 😆 Our thanks to Brown Owl Kate and her leaders for such a brilliant session. We were lucky enough to witness a lovely sunset as we were packing up at the end and loading up our car. 🌅 Photos are of our set up before the Brownies arrived. 🏹 🎯

Last night was a first for us at Rachels Archery. We had a session with Brownies. They have access to a lovely secluded outside space we were able to use just for this archery session. The weather was absolutely perfect too. Many thanks to Brown Owl Anna and her leaders at the 3rd Old Windsor Brownies for such a fantastic session. The brownies really seemed to enjoy themselves, as did we! Anna was kind enough to let us hand out these cute little Archery badges to the brownies as well.
Photos are before and after the session of our new set up.

We have some more bookings with Brownies to look forward to over the coming weeks. 🏹 🎯

Roger Hutchins Art and I had an incredible time at our Archery club Magna Carta Field Archers yesterday afternoon.

We started off at the practice butts, then went round the first half of the course, stopping for a little break half way round. Then we went back to the practice butts before continuing the second half of the course. Haven’t been since April and it certainly showed the lack of practice for me, and the amount of targets I completely missed 🙈

Our club is very fortunate to have two members who regularly paint 2D faces for us, Derek & Roger. This gives both club members and those visiting us for open shoots the chance to shoot something different.

It truly was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in the shade of the trees and being out in the fresh air. 🏹

29th July is Global Tiger Day, to raise awareness about the dwindling numbers of tigers in the wild.

I painted this archery target face with acrylic paints on calico. I started it in my acrylic paining class, where I had a student who wanted to paint a tiger. I used it as an opportunity to work on a larger scale and with a bolder and brighter palette of colours. I did the initial drawing with acrylic pens, working upside down, so that the learners could see the image develop (although this did mean that I got the tiger's left eye slightly out of place). 🙈

As the calico was unprimed the paint stayed wet for longer than it would do on a primed canvas, allowing easier blending, but there was a significant strike through of colour onto the cardboard backing. If you are trying something like this cover the backing with clingfilm first to stop the paint sticking.

The colour was built up in stages over two classes and some modifications and details added with the acrylic pens before the target face was installed at Magna Carta Field Archers, where my wife Rachels Archery and I are assistant course setters.

The tiger formed part of a predator and prey target. We were the first people to shoot it. I took all three of my arrows to hit the tiger. Rachel hit it with her first arrow from 60 feet away (bottom right) and was then able to go for the prey animal (a chicken). 🧑‍🎨 🐅 🎨 🏹
