Caswell Round One Shoot Report – 3rd May 2026

WA1440 Round

It was an early start, with cold, windy conditions and the threat of rain looming.

The strong winds made the longer-distance rounds particularly challenging, disrupting scores across the field. Despite overcast skies throughout the morning session, the rain thankfully held off.

By the halfway point, everyone was performing well considering the conditions, although some archers experienced more difficult morning sessions than others.

In the afternoon, the wind eased slightly and shifted direction, making the shorter distances and smaller targets a bit more manageable. By mid-afternoon, the weather had improved further, with lighter winds and even some sunshine to close out the day.

The team of five delivered an excellent set of results:

Peter Radliffe – Silver, 50+ Open Compound

Anita Lane – Gold, 50+ Women’s Recurve

Toby Radliffe – Silver, Senior Barebow

Chris Tungate – Gold, Senior Open Recurve (winning by just 2 points in the closest match of the day)

Scott Collins – Gold, 50+ Flatbow

Five members, five medals — a great return from a long but rewarding day.

Scott
