10 metre Archery on club ranges?

[10/10]

Most Archery clubs move into an indoor hall in the winter,usally a school.
Usually 20M or as near as possible
At 10M the arrow would barely have chance to stabilize
I am only speakinging through my own experience,
I am a Master Bowman with a compound + Recurve Bow

You probably didn't understand it the first time

.....but you are usually taken to the same place twice - the second time is to apologise for the first time

At least they let ME in.

BGC have a 20m archery range at Leigh that I use. And I’d be interested in the Hoyt

Glevum have a 20m range but each shooting discipline has a different evening- match, sporter, black powder, .22, archery etc. We have 8(?) lanes but all devoted to one discipline at a time.

I have just taken some pictures today of the Hoyt Mick - if you let me have your email address I can send them to you to see.

As a matter of interest - I had no plans to shoot this compound at 10 meters - and I have now swopped it for a lovely tuned .177 walnut AA TX200 that will definitely get a lot more use than my compound bow ever did!

ONLY ONCE!

At the risk of spoiling the hilarity of this thread with a serious answer, the fact is that 10 mt archery is very different to out door long bow archery.

Although not done for many years, our club did at one time have facility for indoor 10 mt archery, and I think tucked away some where we still have the target frames and carriers. One of our members was the GB National Champion, and the clue is she was also a GB national Air rifle champion.

Ten metre archery is shot with a match CROSSBOW, they are very much like a match air rifle or small bore rifle in style, just with a small crossbow action, and they shoot a small bolt (arrow). The targets are on a returning system the same as the air ones. I've never seen it shot, we dropped it years ago when the one member stopped shooting.

Another clue for you is that the NSRA committee responsible for Airgun in the UK is, the "Airgun and Crossbow committee"! Look at the header on the NSRA web site, they refer to Match Crossbow, and there is a picture amongst the ones that roll through!

Any one who has my book, look on page 6, there is a picture of a German club air range, 25 firing points, but they do shoot indoor archery, long bow, across the range at 25 mts, and you can see the targets on the end wall in the picture,

Sorry to spoil the fun, but now you can start on the William Tell jokes and apples as targets.

Have Fun
Robin

Thanks for the information Robin - and especially the great idea!

I am off to find the smallest apple I can find to put on IJ's head and invite him over to our next club night

There are a few "Masters" of various disciplines around, I have heard it said that IJ is a "master baker" - or at least that what I think they said...

Are you interested in a mint red Hoyt Super-Tec with XT2000 carbon limbs by any chance?
