","https:\/\/fairbowusa.com\/","Aurora New Year shoot \nAurora New Year shoot \nAurora New Year shoot \nFebruary 2024 \nFebruary 2024 \nFebruary 2024 \nAfter an unplanned and unwelcome postponement due to a fly-tipping incident at the ground \na few days before our original date, we were delighted and relieved to welcome close to a full \nhouse to our 2024 Aurora New Year open shoot - if being in February still counts as New Year \nof course\u2026. \nA fantastic level of support as just over 100 expectant and eager archers joined us for a great \nday of archery in our amazing woodland. We never take your support for granted and send \nour sincere thanks to each of you from every one of us, especially bearing in mind the \ninconvenience of the last-minute change of date. \nThis was a special day for us at Aurora as we remembered our dear friend and fellow \nAurorean Peter Gillard by awarding an engraved tankard in his name to the top Compound \nUnlimited score on the day. Peter shot many styles in his time, UL being one of them, with \nprevious winners being in the Longbow and Hunting Tackle classes. Peter\u2019s Daughter Helen \nhad planned to present the award but sadly was not able to make the new date (she was \nelsewhere shooting and winning medals herself!) \u2013 next year hopefully. \nIt was an overcast but dry day offering excellent shooting conditions throughout - even the \ncar park was on our side with few issues getting folks in or out other than navigating around \nthe fly tipping remnants \u2013 a massive relief bearing in mind how boggy it was in some places. \nI am delighted to report that everything ran pretty much like clockwork, we \nwere all done and dusted including medals and folks heading home by 4.30pm \nwith plenty of daylight to spare \u2013 as Hannibal Smith on the A Team would say: \n\"I love it when a plan comes together\" - (one for the older generation there!). \nBeing ever conscious of the limited daylight hours, we adopted our proven \nformat that has worked so well for this event in previous years - a 2 x 20 course \n60 "," \n \nwas laid with each target double-pegged, restricting it to two-arrows max per target with any \nsecond arrows to be taken from the same peg as the first; this allowed us to have six archers \nper target, which under normal circumstances would be a real struggle but, in this format, \nisn\u2019t a problem. \nMassive thanks and congratulations to Steffan and the whole course-laying team for creating \nsuch a fantastic course. A creative, varied, deceptive and ultimately challenging track taking \nfull advantage of the unusual terrain, trees and natural water features. Well done everyone, a \nbrilliant job fully appreciated by all those who attended as demonstrated through some truly \nexcellent feedback. \nBearing in mind the challenge, some excellent scores were returned across all classes and \nmany congratulations go to Gary Cole who won the Peter Gillard tankard by 6 points with an \nawesome score of 944 and 37 Spots in Compound Unlimited. \nOn now to the final round of thanks to everyone that made the day possible and such a \nsuccess. \nTo every member of Aurora who helped in any way over the weekend and during \nthe run up, a sincere thank you, you are all brilliant and we couldn\u2019t do it without you \n; \nspecifically, and in no particular order (apologies, I\u2019m bound to have forgotten someone\u2026), \nNadine, Jason, Bryany, Phil, Kieran, Hazel, Sew Peng, Kwan and Garry in the catering tent for \nkeeping the assembled masses fed and watered throughout \u2013 always fantastic fare gratefully \ndevoured by everyone - some of the homemade cakes were particularly delicious; to Hazel, \nBryany and Elliot for keeping everything in order in the admin tent amidst the mad rush of \nreturns and scorecard signings; to the wonderful Elliot Tricker for presenting the medals and \nPeter\u2019s tankard \u2013 so wonderful to see you Elliot \u2013 it\u2019s been a long time!; to Adam for some \nfabulous photos including some perfectly timed action shots; to Tom from Radical \nBikes for your tireless support and humour in allowing us to take over your \nground for the day, and last but no means least, Lord Petre for kindly allowing \nus all to enjoy his fabulous Parsons Spring woodland. \nWe look forward to welcoming you once again for more fun in the woods at our \nnext shoot on September 8 but before then at the 3D Champs later in the year \nth \nwhen Aurora will be setting one of the courses for your delight \u2013 enjoy!

The scoring was tight within the different bow \nstyles and we even had a nail-biting shoot-off for silver \nbetween Ross Sandilands and veteran Phil Sutherland. \nChampion Archers on the day included: \nAlasdair Taylor, Lesley Jack, Istvan Tomori, Ryan Davies, \nAnthony Geraghty & Jordan Aitken (x 2); ","75 \n \n \n \nDiane Bridge, Felicity Sykes Robertson, Marcus McInally, \nGrace Buchanan & Frank Hynds; and \nLesley Logue, Nathan Eyre, Ralph Walker and wee Emma Oliver \nwho took part in her first ever event. \nSo many promising young archers coming through the ranks \nthese days - young Ryan, Grace, Nathan and Emma \nwill be names we will be seeing more of in the \ncoming years... they would do well to follow \nGabe Gamble\u2019s example - this young role \nmodel has led the way at cub and junior \nlevel and was awarded \u201cBest Improver\u201d as \nan adult.
