Latest News:
Welsh Champs Completed Despite Disasters
The Welsh & Open Championships completed on the 20th of April with some fine weather. This went some way to make good the disastrous developments on the previous day which led to the cancellation of the Field round.
badly damaged power line in the Castle Orchard
High winds brought down an oak tree which then demolished high voltage overhead power lines. The line crashed to the ground narrowly missing a group of archers on target 17. As a result the course was evacuated and the Field round cancelled.
This meant that no scores were submitted and it was all down to the Hunter Round on day 2 to decide the Championship. Luckily, the weather was calm on the Sunday and shooting continued on the south course only.
The WFAA would like to offer our apologies to the competitors who were unable to complete the first round. The circumstances were beyond our control on this occasion. However, we would like to applaud those same competitors for returning on Sunday to ensure that the Championship was successful.
Welsh Open 3D Championships 2008
The Welsh Open 3D Championships 2008 will be hosted by Hawk Archers at their course at Tal-y-Coed, near Abergavenny on the 14th and 15th of June.
Last year's inaugural tournament was a success and we are hoping for the same again but with a bigger attendance. If you are interested in trying 3D shooting this is a brilliant opportunity.
Last year's format of Marked 2 shot round on Day 1 and an Unmarked 3 shot round on Day 2 was warmly received by newcomers and seasoned bowhunters alike. For this reason we will be keeping this format for 2008.
This tournament is fully open so members of any IFAA affiliated governing body can compete for the main awards.
