Labyrinth Archers Medieval Shoot, 1st July 2018 at Poltimore House ~ Report by Colin Smithers ~ Being an atheist, doesn’t help when wanting good weather for a shoot. After six weeks of not a single drop of rain; we picked the only day when it did. It started lightly just after the shoot began but rapidly became heavier and poured down for two hours. They must have been a hardy bunch in medieval times because our flimsy replica costumes were not the ideal clothing to keep out the inclement weather and the downpour caused several archers to abandon their posts and retire. However those of a sterner dis- position continued and were rewarded with warm afternoon sunshine. The shoot was twice around 18 targets shooting from different pegs and shooting at different faces on the second circuit. The faces were mainly of heraldic and mythical beasts such as gryphons, unicorns etc. Also included were a few cut out targets, one of which was a huge fearsome red dragon being attacked by Saint George. Although the dragon was thirteen feet long by eight feet high it was still not large enough for some who failed to score on it. A big thank you to Jeanette of Poltimore House Trust who single handedly kept us all fed and watered; also for the few friends who helped us assemble the shoot and afterwards clear the course. Lastly, a big thank you to all the archers who attended, whose generosity allowed us to give a cheque for £400 to Poltimore House Trust to help with their rebuilding project. 2 x 16 MEDIEVAL TARGET SHOOT:- Gents P/V Ladies P/V Giles Spearing Independent 426 Pat Rous Independent 228 Bob Miles Dragonfly 392 Morwenna Dunstan Independent DNS Ant Johnson Dragonfly 382 Norman Redclift Ashcombe 324 Cub Boy Primitive Bryan Lawler Toad Hollow RTD Luke Johnson Dragonfly 286 Gents L/B Ladies L/B Tony Vowden Ashcombe 508 Pauline Wells Ballands 460 Warren Potier B of Bude 500 Jaine Whitford Torquay 306 Richard Eddington Ballands 474 Lyn Potier B of Bude RTD Patrick Hutchinson N Somerset 460 Alan Trim Ballands 460 Junior Boys L/B Gary Waters Brixham 442 Alex Harris Labyrinth RTD Daryl Butt Brixham 426 Ian Eggerton Westcombe 406 Barry Weston Ashcombe 402 Steve Bastyan Lambert’s C 338 Mike Poile Umberleigh 334 Paul Clark Elmtree 328 Paul Harrison Independent RTD Tim Miller Tavistock RTD Ian Mudie B of Bude RTD Mike Roberts DNS 102

~ Avalon Archers Update ~ Well the first Avalon Open was a very popular success and based on the feedback was a very welcome change and break from other open shoots. Creating a much more informal atmosphere the format was very widely accepted. The completely open styles removed much of the internal wrangling and archers became focused on beating the course. The gate prizes £20.00 TAC vouchers were very well received and spread the chance of reward and winning across a much wider shooting base. There was a single shot prize of a £20 TAC voucher for hitting the pro ring on the Tiger this was done by Dominic Healey shooting a Long Bow. It’s going to happen again!!! We will change the shooting layout but the format will be unchanged, without styles and just shooting for a score against the course designer, we think it will become even more enjoyable. The event will again be open to all Archers who can show a current membership card of a widely recognised Archery organisation, NFAS, EFAA, AGB etc.. The Avalon 80 will take place on the 1 and 2 September. st nd It will be £10.00 per day and again we will limit the entry. The shoot will be along the following lines - there will be 16 targets; at each target there will be 5 (five) pegs and 5 (five) 3Ds; there will be an archer on each peg (until the course has been finished we are not certain as to the number of pegs per 3D, since it would in most cases not be possible to have three pegs and be able to walk up for e.g. sights, carbon arrows then wooden arrows whilst all shooting at the same time); Archer on peg No.1 will shoot one arrow at 3D No. 1, Archer on peg No.2 will shoot one arrow at 3D No. 2, etc. etc. When all archers have shot one arrow they will then move to the next peg and shoot the next arrow i.e. Archer on peg No.1 will move to Peg No. 2 Archer on peg No.2 will move to Archer on peg No.3 and will shoot the next arrow at the corresponding 3D. This will continue until all archers have shot a total of five arrows. On completion archers will walk to the targets and record the scores. In some cases, it will be wise to leave an archer on the pegs whilst the scores are being recorded. On completion all archers will move on to the next target and repeat the process, un- til all 16 targets have been shot. When all targets have been shot the score, cards will be handed in. Once all cards are in those wishing to shoot again will be able to do so, how groups and walk outs are arranged will be finalised on the day depending on responses and numbers. On Saturday the course will close at 5:30 for target adjustment for the Sunday. It is planned for Saturday to be Unmarked, non-range finding binoculars will be allowed. On the Sunday the shoot will be the same, range finders will be allowed and distances will be recorded and distributed to those that do not have range finders. 106

Well the first Avalon Open was a very popular success and based on the feedback Scoring will be 25 pro ring (if available) 20 for a kill and 10 for a wound. On completion of the 16 Targets on the Sunday all cards must be handed in. There will be a live score update as the cards are presented. When all cards are handed in the two day scores will be totalled and walk up for e.g. sights, carbon arrows then wooden arrows whilst all shooting ordered by score. Only those shooting two days and all targets will at the same time); Archer on peg No.1 will shoot one arrow at 3D No. 1, be eligible for the shoot off. There will then be a shoot off for TAC vouchers. When all archers have shot one arrow they will then move to the next peg and shoot The shoot off will be a simple knockout between the Top Four (4) scores; another one for the bottom Four (4) scores; two further groups of four selected move to Archer on peg No.3 and will shoot the next arrow at the corresponding 3D. from within the whole list of scores. These two other group will be determined on the day depending on entry etc. We are hoping to make this a spectator part of the event and would very much en- courage interactive recommendations on the quality of the shooting!! After completion of the shoot off those who wish to shoot around again can do so but the course will have to be closed by 5:30 to allow clearing up. Again, how groups & walk outs are arranged, will be finalised on the day depending responses and numbers. On Saturday the course will close at 5:30 for target on responses & numbers. adjustment for the Sunday. It is planned for Saturday to be Unmarked, 107
