Busy night at Kilmarnock Archers

Welcome and well done to the Le Masurier family on their first night at Kilmarnock Archers. Glad you enjoyed it Jonathan, Lindsay, Abbey and Kathryn. Hope to see you back.

Alan is all smiles (or just all teeth🙄😂) now that he is back shooting..

Some members glad to be back shooting outside. Especially on a day like today ☀️☀️

Sadly we're still unable to open up either indoors or for new starts and non-members.
We so hope to be able to welcome everyone back once we get out of these lock downs - in the meantime please stay safe and stay sane ;)

Great shooting tonight by Alyssa, Aaron and Tommy. Well done everyone 🏹

Some great shooting tonight. Well done everyone. Best quote from Jack (shooting blind) was being congratulated for his shooting... His response - I think I can shoot better blind than I could seeing. Well definitely not lost his sense of humour 😂😂

Big steps forward for Jack tonight!!! He shot his first gold since losing his sight!!

The others may be slightly off target, but they're grouped nicely showing he's getting to grips with stance etc.

Well Done Jack! The whole club is proud of your cheerful determination!

**important notice** Sorry but we cannot take on any new members at this time. We will inform you when we are open to new members once rules allow. Please do not turn up as you will not be admitted.

And we are back!!!
What a great night back at the club after so long. Well done to everyone who came along and adhered to the new rules. A big thank you to Mac, Marie and Stevie for organising and setting up. Yet again I have to say...a great wee club.

So we had a wee club challenge to make a bow and arrow at home with whatever you had in and around the house. We had a good few participants and had some great ideas. From using branches from the garden, golf clubs, fishing rods, pallets, bits of wood and plastic, washing lines etc etc etc. We were entertained with photos and videos both of successful attempts and not so successful attempts.
What a wonderful bunch of folk we have in our club.
The winning prize was a fruit basket. All the participants were really winners.
We can't wait until our club opens back up and we can all get together again.
Here is our winner Mac Coxhead with his prize...
Well done all at Kilmarnock Archers.
