🎃👻 We had a spook-tacular time at our Halloween Shoot last night! 🏹

There were plenty of tricks, treats and a few scary shots! 😂

A fang-tastic way to kick off our first session back after the October break, with lots of laughs, Halloween fun and, of course, sweet treats to keep everyone going! 🍬🍫

Great to have everyone back. We hope nobody was too bow-witched by the evening! 🧙‍♀️🎯

🏹🧙‍♂️ ONE SHOOT TO RULE THEM ALL! 🧙‍♂️🏹

Last night was our final indoor session before the October break and we went out in true Middle Earth style! 🧝‍♂️🎯

Our Middle Earth Archery Competition put archers to the test with a whole range of different targets, including Vegas faces, faces so small you could barely see them, reverse scoring and some unusual challenges. Just when you thought you knew where to aim, the scoring rules changed! 😂

Who knew archery could be so tricky when the gold isn’t always worth the most points? 👀 There was plenty to keep everyone on their toes and a bit of friendly competition thrown in for good measure!

🌦️ So, what’s next?

During the October break, we’ll be heading back outdoors to Gannochy, weather permitting. Fingers crossed for some decent Scottish weather! 🤞

🎃 And don’t forget our Halloween Fun Shoot when we return indoors 👻

🌬️ While most of the club are settling into the indoor season… a few hardy souls decided they weren’t quite finished with the great Scottish outdoors! 🏹

Brilliant performances from all our archers at Falkirk today, battling some seriously windy conditions - including the added jeopardy of your arrow deciding to fall off the rest at the worst possible moment! 😂🌬️

🥇 Golds this morning for Niels, Frazer and Stuart.

And because apparently one session in those conditions wasn’t enough… they all stayed for another session in the afternoon! 💪

That takes some serious grit and determination. Well done to all of you - great shooting in some challenging conditions! 👏🏹

Meanwhile, the rest of us are safely indoors😜

🏹 Goodbye Gannochy… until the spring! 🌿

Tonight was our last outdoor session of the season at Gannochy, and what a great turnout! A brilliant way to make the most of the weather before we do what any sensible Scottish archer does this time of year… escape indoors! 😂☔❄️

From Sunday, we’re heading to Perth High School for our indoor sessions.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us outdoors this season - we’ve had some great evenings of sunshine, wind, rain… and everything else the Scottish weather wanted to throw at us! 😆

🏹 A busy weekend of archery for Perth Archery Club! 🏹
It’s been another action-packed weekend for our archers, with members competing across the country in a variety of disciplines.

🏹 Scottish Tour – Stage 3, Elgin
Frazer and Jess were in Elgin for Stage 3 of the Scottish Tour, adding another challenging weekend of competition to the season.

🌲 Field Archery
And over in the field, Annabel had an absolutely fantastic weekend! She shot PBs in both Saturday’s Hunter Round and Sunday’s Field Round, an amazing achievement.

Even better, those performances saw her retain her Junior Female Scottish Outdoor Field Champion title! 🏆🥇

Huge congratulations, Annabel - what a brilliant achievement! 🎉

🎯 Clout Weekend
James was also out shooting clout over the weekend. Day 1 wasn't exactly what he had hoped for, despite shooting his season’s average. He'd been hoping for a chance to improve on it, but at least there was one highlight - a rather nice flag shot! 🎯

And apparently, it happens more often than you might think… although not bad for 165m! 😂

Day 2 brought another tough but enjoyable day, with plenty more things to practise. The scoring was still similar to Saturday, but James was much happier with how he handled the changeable weather - particularly surviving the thunderous downpour! ⛈️

A busy weekend, lots of different disciplines and plenty to be proud of. Well done to everyone who was out shooting! 🏹👏

Perth Archery Club results:

🥈 James – 2nd, Longbow Open

Day 2 - Seniors

Niels, Frazer and James were representing Perth Archery Club, with some great shooting.

👏 Niels narrowly missed out on a podium place after some fantastic scores at 90m and 30m.

👏 Frazer gained some valuable experience competing in the Barebow Open, putting in a steady performance equivalent to Bowman classification.

👏 And well done to James for another strong showing in the Longbow Open. Congratulations on your Silver medal!

Perth Archery Club Championships

It was also our Perth Archery Club Outdoor Championships on Sunday! It was great to see all four bowstyles represented, with members competing in Recurve, Barebow, Traditional and Compound.

🎯 A fantastic day at the Bannockburn Open!

Five Perth Archery Club archers took part in today’s Bannockburn Open, shooting the St George, Albion and Windsor rounds against the stunning backdrop of the Wallace Monument.

A few showers tried to challenge us, but it was a great day of shooting at a really well-organised competition.

And what a result for the club - four medals coming home to Perth! Along with a few bottles of w**e and other goodies from the cake stall and raffle 🎟️🧁

A huge well done to all five of our archers for representing the club, and a massive thank you to the organisers and everyone involved in putting on such a fantastic event.

🌑🎯 A very Scottish solar eclipse experience…

Tonight’s shooting started with a safety briefing about stopping shooting if the solar eclipse made conditions too dark.

We needn’t have worried. It got slightly darker than normal, and unfortunately the clouds meant we couldn’t actually see the eclipse.

Because… Scotland. ☁️🤣

Meanwhile, one of our club members in Somerset managed to capture this absolutely amazing photo! 🌒📸

Oh well, the shooting session was uninterrupted - so we can’t complain! 😂🏹

Somerset definitely won the eclipse-viewing competition, though! 🌒📸

A huge good luck and congratulations to everyone representing Scotland at the Archery GB Youth Festival this week! 🎯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re especially proud that one of Perth Archery Club’s junior archers is part of the Under-21 Scotland team.

Go Scotland! 💙🏹
