Welcome to Carrowmore Archers

If you have found your way to our blogsite having already been in touch with us or if you just have a general interest in Archery, does not matter. The fact that you have found your way here means you must have that inner need to establish what the “Robin Hood” experience is all about !

Safety and Fun in that order !!

Archery is all about technique not strength. So all members of the family can participate on an equal footing. If you are a parent, Archery offers you the chance to enjoy a sport with your family rather than just acting as a taxi service to other events!

We hope you will get in touch with us and arrange to come along for one of our “Have a Go” sessions in the near future.

Plan Ahead!

Plan your archery activities around available daylight. Here’s the graph for our course courtesy of http://ptaff.ca/soleil/

Hours of daylight for Carrowmore Archery

 

Lovely weather for archery!

Very little rain, sunny spells, warm. What more do you want! Dust of the bow, fletch a few arrows, see you on the course at midday tomorrow.

Upkeep and Repairs. Next Friday 3/2/12 10.30am(ish). Come and help!

Due to inclement weather our upkeep and repair day has been put back to Friday 3rd February.

Jobs include such exciting things as polytunnel patching , shed erection, butt replacement, and general tidying.

If any club members are available to help out with various upkeep jobs contact Dickon or David using our contact list.

If weather is miserable then this will be deferred to a more suitable occasion

Course Changes!

Mother nature and some forestry activities have imposed a few course changes at Carrowmore Archery’s woodland field archery course.

Thats what I call good cover.

Ha-ha! .....can't get me now!

Our bear views a fallen tree with some misgivings!

Dead wolf target. Very hard to hit the 'kill' now!

For any members who would like to shoot the course with company, Matthew and I will be there most Sundays on a flexible time basis anytime from 11am onwards, contact me for specific time if you would like to hook up.

Anyone needing a key for new gate at lane entrance can contact David a small deposit for this key is required. If you don’t have this key you can always find a safe place to park on the road and walk up if no other members are there. Don’t block the gate!

Happy New Year

Dickon Whitehead
