This was our last Prince of Wales shoot before the name changes to reflect that our benefactor, Prince Charles, is now King Charles III. There was a charity element, with 50% of the shoot fees being donated to The Princes Trust.
A significant number of no-shows and a last-minute injury meant a relatively cosy group of just 56 archers took to the woods on the day. Our course-layers had been busy and had included a number of predator/prey combinations, plus a fan shot from the top of our container, all of which meant there were plenty of 3D targets to challenge our visitors. The weather gods smiled on us once more and the day stayed fine and often sunny. Thanks go to all those who helped make the day a success.
Our next shoot is our December 4th Mince Pie Friendly, when all four of our courses will be available, with some festive-themed targets to get you in the mood for Christmas. A rolling start, with shooting from around 9.15am onwards should help keen visitors make the most of the shorter December day.
