Leaders from Stevenage organised the inaugural Intra‑Hertfordshire Scout Archery Competition on Saturday 9th May, with some of our members stepping up to the shooting line as part of the 5th Stevenage Archery Club.

The competition saw great focus and determination throughout the day, with everyone giving it their all and performing really well. All members took part in the Target category, aiming at standard targets from 10 and 20 yards, as well as taking on the added challenge of the Field category. This tested their skills even further with a variety of targets, and obstacles to avoid.

Our archers represented the Club and District superbly, and we’re delighted to celebrate some fantastic medal wins:

Individual Medals

  • Alexander B. – U13 Target Bronze
  • Harry C. – U18 Target Gold
  • Andy Spicer – O18 Target Silver & O18 Field Silver
  • Jack Jeffreys – O18 Target Bronze & O18 Field Bronze
  • Ben C. – U13 Field Silver
  • Kensi T. – U13 Field Bronze
