Newhaven 2008 Western

The Newhaven shoot coincided with one of the best days so far this year, with blazing sunshine and very little in the way of wind. Arundown made it’s mark with John, Rebecca, Emily & Will taking medals. John held his place on the leader board during the day and came an impressive 3rd out of 25 archers. Gergo Deak took first place in the Gents Recurve scoring a stunning 818, which would have given him fourth place in compound! Liz managed to shatter her previous Western PB, scoring 655.

Emily chased fellow County Junior Rachel throughout the day. She managed to shorten the gap at the shorter distance, finishing 34 points behind her. Rebecca shot a respectable score in her first tournament since recently moving to compound. Poor Pip battled against a nasty bug during the day, but managed to complete his full round.

Will had a stunning performance during the day, showing his strength lies with outdoor rounds. With stamina to spare he competed in the traditional head-to-head and took out a Gents Compound in the first round. He managed to get through to the semi-final, when another Gents Compound knocked him out!
