👏 Niels narrowly missed out on a podium place after some fantastic scores at 90m and 30m.

👏 Frazer gained some valuable experience competing in the Barebow Open, putting in a steady performance equivalent to Bowman classification.

Perth Archery Club Championships

It was also our Perth Archery Club Outdoor Championships on Sunday! It was great to see all four bowstyles represented, with members competing in Recurve, Barebow, Traditional and Compound.

🏆 Congratulations to all our club champions and medal winners!

A brilliant weekend for the club - well done everyone! 👏🏹

🎯 A fantastic day at the Bannockburn Open!

Five Perth Archery Club archers took part in today’s Bannockburn Open, shooting the St George, Albion and Windsor rounds against the stunning backdrop of the Wallace Monument.

A few showers tried to challenge us, but it was a great day of shooting at a really well-organised competition.

And what a result for the club - four medals coming home to Perth! Along with a few bottles of wine and other goodies from the cake stall and raffle 🎟️🧁

A huge well done to all five of our archers for representing the club, and a massive thank you to the organisers and everyone involved in putting on such a fantastic event.

🌑🎯 A very Scottish solar eclipse experience…

Tonight’s shooting started with a safety briefing about stopping shooting if the solar eclipse made conditions too dark.

We needn’t have worried. It got slightly darker than normal, and unfortunately the clouds meant we couldn’t actually see the eclipse.

Because… Scotland. ☁️🤣

Meanwhile, one of our club members in Somerset managed to capture this absolutely amazing photo! 🌒📸

Oh well, the shooting session was uninterrupted - so we can’t complain! 😂🏹

Somerset definitely won the eclipse-viewing competition, though! 🌒📸

A huge good luck and congratulations to everyone representing Scotland at the Archery GB Youth Festival this week! 🎯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re especially proud that one of Perth Archery Club’s junior archers is part of the Under-21 Scotland team.

Go Scotland! 💙🏹

We’re certainly being spoiled with the weather at the moment, and tonight was another perfect evening on the range! ☀️🏹

With Stage 2 of the Scottish Tour in Ayr taking place this weekend, a few of our archers were putting in some focused competition practice. Others decided to mix things up with some fun target faces, proving that there’s always room for a bit of variety!

It was also fantastic to see so many new faces, including several juniors, joining us. We hope you all enjoyed your evening and we look forward to seeing you back on the shooting line soon.

Good luck to everyone competing in Ayr this weekend - shoot well and enjoy it! 🎯

A great evening at the club tonight with something for everyone! ☀️🏹

Our coaches ran a competition preparation workshop, sharing tips and advice to help members feel more confident and ready for tournaments. A big thank you to everyone involved in delivering the session.

Meanwhile, the rest of the club enjoyed a relaxed evening of shooting in the sunshine, making the most of the lovely weather.

There was even a bit of creativity on the shooting line, with a couple of members swapping the usual target faces for a dartboard face to add a fun twist to their practice! 🎯

We made the most of a proper summer’s evening tonight - sunshine, warm temperatures and even a skylark providing the soundtrack. ☀️🎶🏹

Knowing Scottish weather, we’re not taking evenings like this for granted!

Some people had the right idea… why stand when you can supervise proceedings from the comfort of a camping chair? 😄

Here’s hoping for a few more evenings like this before the rain remembers where we are!

Great to see two members of Perth Archery Club in the team. Congratulations and good luck 🎉🎯🏹
