Hi everybody!
It’s been a few months since I updated my blog and
there have been a fair few shoots and events in the gap with some great
results, so I’ll summarize the events of the last few months quickly so
we can get back on track!
Following on from the last post, the next shoot was the Welsh Field Masters Tour – round 5 at Dinefwr archers. This was shot on the 22nd of September and for a change, the weather was actually quite kind to us! It was quite bright with hardly any wind so some pretty good scores were submitted. I finished on a 529 and took first place, coming away with the gold medal.
A few weeks after this we had the WFAA AGM meeting where the
awards for the last year were presented, and due to my scores I won the WFAA
Field Masters Tour for 2013 – taking the title for 2 years in a row! I
was absolutely thrilled with this result as it was a close game all the way.
Fingers crossed I can keep it up and take the title next year to make it a hat
trick!
The next shoot after this was the final field shoot on my
calendar before the indoor season began in earnest, the Welsh FITA Field
Championships hosted by my own club, Pentref Bowmen. This was a 2 day FITA
shoot, unmarked on day 1 and marked on day 2. We had a little bit of a rain and
wind to contend with, but nothing too serious and I put in some fairly good
scores and had some cracking targets.

When the results were compiled, we had the award ceremony
and it turns out that this year.. I won! I was the 2nd highest
overall so had a silver medal for the open, and I was the highest scoring Welsh
compound archer so I won the gold medal and the Welsh Championships Trophy!
I’ve never won anything before at the FITA Welsh as
the competition is tight, so to say I was thrilled with this result is a bit of
an understatement haha! The trophy has pride of place on the bookshelves at
home and looks very good next to the medal & memento board. I need to work
hard to defend it next year!
