Grange Company of Target Archery in 2011Hi Archers, The club calendar for 2011 is on the club's web site. In addition to the regular weekly events and hosted Tournaments, the club runs several annual awards based on the accumulation of points from monthly events. Below you will find the description of these competitions for 2011. The Silver Arrow club competition is a new award for 2011. I have also attached the distances that are shot by the various divisions in the Silver Arrow competition. I would encourage all archers to consider shooting these events even our newer archers, they are a great learning experience and very much help develop your archery. Cheers Brian
