On Sunday the 2018 Worcestershire County field archery championship was held at Sunset Archers course just outside of Kidderminster.  The course is set in beautiful woodland and features targets set from 10 to 70 yards with significant gradient changes.  The primary medals for each group were awarded on target scores and the other medals and Team trophy were handicap adjusted.

Malvern Archers were well represented and came away with many of the key medals.  Dave Martel won the Gents Compound and Aaron Relf tied for 2nd place in this very close category.  Pete Webb won the Gents Recurve and Tammy Milsom balanced their medal cabinet by taking the Ladies Recurve gold. Laura Smith in her first field competition took the Ladies Recurve silver medal. Together Tammy, Aaron and Laura claimed the Team trophy for Malvern Archers with their handicap adjusted scores being  better than those of teams from Evesham and Wyre Forest.

If you have not tried Field archery, then give it a go.
