Field Course
Next meeting Sunday 16th October
@ 9:30am Bubbs Hill
Field Course
The following dates were proposed by the field committee and confirmed with Girlguiding, however as the 7th
August clashes with Black and Gold and the 21st with the club attrition day the field committee will have to agree
new dates. We are also asking for volunteers to organize the county Field Championships in October. Names
to Roger please.
More 3D's for the Field Course
Early
June will see the purchase of more 3D's for the field course, Nicky is also producing a set of hession 2D's. We are
installing further targets in the wooded area, using a number of the recently purchased foam bosses. Once all this work is
complete we will be encouraging more club members to get involved with the field course by organising some evening shoots.

can arrive from 9.30am to practise on the target bosses and start the field course at 10am. It usually takes about 2
hrs, sometimes a little longer. We should plan who's attending 2 weeks ahead. That should give us
time to find a replacement 'leader' if someone withdraws. Martin Hutchings

Dunster Field Course
Well done to Rosemarie
and Martin for completing the Dunster Field Course, it took just over 6 hours!
Bubbs Hill Shoots
Thank you to those
that have supported the shoots during May and June. As you will have realised we are continually developing the course to
maintain its interest. It is a bit of a struggle at the moment to keep paths clear in the growing season but we are on top
of it now. Just watch the horse flies. New dates to be announced this week.
Easter Sunday Shoot and Longer term plan!
There
will now be a club members only shoot starting at Bubbs Hill this Easter Sunday starting at 10am.
Over the summer we are planning to develop our field archery skills to a level that will allow
us to enter the Regional Championships to be held at Exmouth Archers Course on a Sunday in October. We will circulate the
entry forms as soon as we have them. What about an overnight stay on the Saturday?
Mothers Day Field Shoot

the field shoot, 24 unmarked, mixture of animal and Fita field faces. Most archers recorded scores, sunny but the strong breeze

Next Field Course Meeting
Sunday 14th March
CLUB FIELD COURSE SHOOT at Bubbs
Hill 9:45 for 10am start.
Following the trial sessions we will be adding 7 more targets to give a round of 25.
We will be inviting 2 other local clubs to join us on this shoot. Whilst it is all about fun the round will be designed
to allow scoring for those that want to record their efforts.
Bubbs Hill Field course Update
Following an excellent attendance on the 14th February, the attandance was surprisingly good on the 21st as there
had been a couple of extra cms of snow overnight and the roads were not good. Having used the course twice we have decided
to add another 4 targets and to move 2 of the current ones to create a better balance between open and woodland shots.
Next dates for shoots TBA, this time we will have a scoring round. We have also decided to confirm with the county
that we would like to hold the County Field Championships late December.

New Field Course Opening
Its
looking like Sunday 21st February! Will confirm date after 8th February review.
Field Course
On the 22nd January, John, Ed, Dan and Roger braved the elements to hammer in
all the target support posts. There will be 18 targets, most with clear overshoot and surrounds to ensure we minimize the
loss of arrows. We have just ordered a number of new foam bosses, some for the target range at Bubbs Hill and some for the
field course. We will also use some of the old bosses we used last year at Bubbs Hill. As soon as the new bosses are available
we will complete the course and let you know when it is open for training!
Field Archery - 8 Week Beginners Courses
We
will be running 2 field archery training courses during 2010. Participants need to have their own equipment and be members
of ArcheryGB.

New Field Course at Bubbs Hill
The
course design is complete (Dec 26th), it will be an 18 target round and will be exclusive to GNAS Members. Installation will
be complete some time in January (Dependant upon delivery of new bosses).
Field Course
The course at high Cross it to demanding and not well enough maintained for new members to shoot without a very high
risk of losing arrows. We have now got permission and funding to create a new course around the Bubbs Hill perimeter and in
the adjacent area of Cowley Woods. The target is to build a course by the end of the year, probably 15 bosses, with lots of
clear areas behind the targets, hilly terrain and open and well wooded areas will provide an excellent setting. Already a
number of club members volunteered to constuct and maintain the course.
Members Field Course at BUBBS HILL – Thursday 11th June
We are
putting a mini-field course together at Bubbs Hill for this Thursday. We know a number of you would like to try field archery
but are worried about losing your arrows at High Cross. The course will be made up of 2D and 3D targets at markers suitable
for everyone and there will be cut grass/banks behind each target. Every thing else will be explained on the evening and groups
of 4/5 will make their way around from 6:00pm (last starting time will be 7:30). This
is a great chance to try field archery, so why not give it a go!
