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.

Field Course This is to confirm that we will be holding our first Field course shoot at Bubbs
Hill this Sunday (14th February). Everyone with their own equipment is welcome (However NO Senior Compounds
for this event), please arrive 10am for 10:15 start. Course designed to minimize arrow loss, pegs for all ages and abilities,
so why not give it a shot. Mixture of animal, Fita and cardboard 3D’s. Cost just £3 per head.
18 targets taking about 2 hours. For those that want to, a swift drink in the Green Dragon
to finish! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE COMING, however
if you make a late decision that is fine.
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!

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!
