We're all wishing Glenn the best of luck heading to the Run Archery series final at Harlequin Archers this weekend. Glenn is currently sitting third in the national rankings but with double points on offer at the final its all to play for still.

Brilliant to be learning other great life-skills! Thank you Belper District CFR Group for coming to see us and the excellent tuition!!

Does anyone fancy buying us a defibrillator?? 😁

Learning CPR is always worth a shot, hence why two of our responders have been providing training this evening at Derbyshire Archery Club

Congratulations to Johnathan on winning the Kedleston Cup shoot. Great day was had by all.

On 23rd June, we welcomed back 25 members of the StandTo Veteran Community for another great day of instruction, guidance and competition. So good to see familiar faces returning, and the group were on top form from the moment they arrived.

The sun cranked things up again too — another proper scorcher, sunscreen and shade breaks all round! Despite the heat, spirits stayed high, and it was brilliant to see how much everyone's progressed since their last visit.

It's a genuine privilege to have this group back with us. Huge thanks as always to StandTo Veteran Support for the great work they do — find out more at https://www.standto.co.uk/

Congratulations to member Glenn on another great performance at the latest Run Archery national series event. Double silvers in the sprint and 4k, though actually a very nice looking wooden medal this time.

More dangers of shooting 100yds… make sure there’s enough clearance between arrow and sight pin!

The dangers of shooting 100yds - you spend your break looking for arrows! 😞 😂

This weekend top archers from the region decended on Bowmen of Glen for the East Midlands Archery society championship. Member Glenn was there representing his club and county shooting the challenging WA1440 90m round. In fine form once again winning bronze in the open recurve with an impressive score to boot.
Well done Glenn!
