Junior Chocolate Shoot at Phoenix Archers, Smeeton Westerby

Saturday 10^th September 2011

This was a day of first experiences for new junior member James Warner, having only joined Bowmen of Glen this month after completing his introductory training at LAOFAC. Having never been scored before, this was his first ever competition. James was shooting with BOGLETS Lucy Colledge and Adam McLaughan, another new member.

Despite some periods of strong wind, James shooting 20/10 managed to come first in Junior Boys Recurve with a score of 574, also bagging the prize for closest to the ‘X’ overall in the proccess. Adam also shooting 20/10 came third with 452, and Lucy shooting 30/20 was first in Junior Ladies Recurve with 498. A good result for the BOGLETS.

But it was the Chocolate shoot at the end that put a smile on James Warner’s face. Despite being given a smaller compound target to shoot at James still managed to bag a maximum with arrows to spare each time. And yes by the time the photo was taken he had already eaten some of the chocolate. James friends nick name him “Jam”, I can see why!
