NAC First Portsmouth Series, 2011/2012, Final Shoot.

A wise man said that this was David Taylor waving a magic wand and hoping for a good result in the final shoot of the NAC Portsmouth Series which has been ongoing over the winter indoor season. It is actually our very own chairman David Taylor who was addressing the NAC archers prior to the last event of three taking place on Saturday 10th March 2012. As the club continues to grow at a healthy rate David was explaining in detail as to how the event will run to our many newcomer who were in attendance for their very first competition. The results have been displayed on the appropriate pages (I think the wand worked fairly well) subject to final scrutiny and many new club records had been achieved during these three events.

Please find a pictorial of the event within our gallery section of this website.

Medals for NAC in County Indoor Portsmouth Championships

NAC performed very well in the County Indoor Championships on Sunday 11th March at Rothwell. David Quemby received a silver in the Gents Compound with a score of 575, just two points behind Martin Ross who took gold. David went on to get a gold however in the double round with a score of 1136. Susan Corless won a gold for the ladies double recurve with a score of 1052, and Paul Hyde took a bronze in the gents recurve with a score of 1120. Mick Lovell also shot but despite scoring well, missed out on the metal. New club records were set and these will be included in the next records update later this month. Well done and thanks for representing NAC so well.
