Round two of the new Inter Club Challenge, a field shoot at Daventry on Saturday 11th June, hosted by Long Buckby Archery Club was another great success with a full team taking part from NAC. This new event is proving to be a popular and fantastic idea. The next round is a Clout hosted by Kettering Archers on Sunday 24th July, with the final round on 30th July, being a Pope Young. NAC will be the hosts. The results so far are being kept top secret.
With Christmas being so hectic these days some of the NAC members escaped the festivities at home and spent a few hours at Sywell taking part in our annual Boxing day shoot at Sywell.
Numbers were down on last year but considering everything at this time of year we were grateful to those who came out to take part in the fun and games.
This years overall winner was Tony Chung who overcame our regular bare bow experts. This event is special as novice and expert alike have the same chance of winning, and it’s so much fun.
So a big thank you to all who took part and we look forward too much of the same next year!

NAC longbow archer, Ian Hyde has now gone commercial with his traditional bow-making skills. Ian, holder of several longbow club and county records, has launched his own web-site on which archers can view his work and values. Contacting Ian regarding orders for bows and other questions about his craft can be done through the site. Over about the last two years or so, club sessions have had the added bonus of Ian and his dad, Paul, demonstrating to fellow archers the various bows they have made. We wish Ian well with this venture.
On 10th October NAC started it’s Autumn/Winter 2015 Season at John Ashby Sports Hall. There was a good turnout and the move went smoothly. A reminder that our indoor shooting times until Spring 2016 are:
