Deaglan, our young junior, is a new name added to our record holders at NAC. Deaglan scored 171 shooting flatbow last Saturday at JASH in the last of our Portsmouth Series. Jacob also shot a new junior record for the recurve with a score of 484. Leigh Masters beat his previous senior record shooting flatbow with a score of 361 and Sarah Fowler-Jardine shooting compound beat her previous record with a new high of 541. Susan Corless beat her old record scoring 525, but this lasted just 24 hours -she scored 531 the following day. Great news and well done. The final positions for the whole series will be published in due course.

WOAC, Jim McKeown Memorial Shoot, 2012.
Woac hosted the Jim Mckeown memorial Shoot over the weekend of 11th & 12th February in which several members of the NAC attended.
Both Paul Hyde and David Quemby took part over the two day event and others took part on the Sunday only. Missing the Saturday was a treat for me as the schools heating system had failed and the temperature was well below freezing (and very cold indoors too). Sunday was almost tropical in comparison as temperatures rose above freezing but several layers of clothing was still the order of the day.The shoot was a FITA 18 and WOAC use an electronic audible system, (saves blowing a whistle), the other feature of the electronics was that it was “timed”, so after the first audible warning you get so many seconds to approach the line and place an arrow on the rest, shooting then commenced after the second audible warning when a countdown system took over allowing 40 seconds (average) per arrow. If a shot is made after the zero audible warning then a penalty is imposed, so too if you run out of time you shouldn’t release an arrow after the zero has sounded.
The NAC team consisting of Susan Corless, David Quemby,Mick Lovell and Paul Hyde managed a very respectful 2nd place in the team categoryand yes youv’e guessed it Susan achieved another personal best with some impressive shooting and so another club record will be claimed. The most fantastic news of all is that Dave Quemby and Paul Hyde took first and second place in the Quadruple round which one would assume will also set new records for the NAC.
Individual scores can be seen on the WOAC website.
Well done to all who took part once again showing that the NAC is back where it should be.
