Winter League Round 10


BrixhamArchWintLeag10-page-001

 

Here are the latest results for the indoor winter league. Quite a few people did not shoot the last round. We had also extended the previous round for the same reason. I guess people are tiring of league and want to shoot outside but please persevere as it is unfair on other competitors who do want to see the competition through to the end.

 

There are two more rounds to shoot. The newly posted round 10 which needs to be shot by 9th April and then the final round 11 which is to be shot by 23rd April. If you wish to shoot either of these rounds outside please do so but bear in mind it must be a full Portsmouth round and you will need to ensure you have the correct target face. If you do shoot outside please email me your score and who witnessed it.

 

We propose the finals will be shot outside. The second and third places in each league will shoot a six way head to head with the top three progressing to a six way final against the winners of the three leagues (please shoot the remaining rounds even if you have no chance of reaching the last stages).

 

We would like to shoot the semi and finals as a live head to head without the need to convert scores whilst the competition is in progress. Therefore we have two ideas. Please can you let us have your choice by email. If no one responds or it is a tie we will decide!

 

First option is an outdoor Portsmouth. Compound archers would have three arrows, gents recurve/ladies compound four arrows, ladies and juniors five, longbow archers would have six. Competitors would then select their best three arrows each end.

 

Second choice is to shoot an outdoor round applicable to the bow style as follows:

 

Recurve – FITA 70m – 122cm face

Compound – FITA 50m – 80cm compound face 5-10 zone scoring

Longbow – FITA 50m – 122 cm face

 

Perhaps the second option would work better for the summer competition below?

 

Chris and myself propose to organise a summer competition. We hope this will be categorised into different bow styles and if numbers allow maybe graded on ability a little. One problem with the winter league has been competitors not being able to shoot for whatever reason. With the summer competition we hope to alleviate this by not shooting against an individual but against all your leagues scores for that round. The top scorer for each round would get 10 points, the second 9 points etc. If competitors don’t shoot there then no points are awarded.

 

We would be interested to hear any other comments on the winter league and suggestions so we can make any improvements.

 

Please can you also email me if you are interested in the summer competition and which bow style you would shoot.

 

Happy shooting

Rob and Chris
