This weeks Long Haul Challenge was shot in almost perfect conditions sun beating down and the slightest of a north easterly wind this round is a natural bow round so no shooting aids or penalties wound be applied everyone opted for the bare bow penalty free option. This turned into a hotly contested event at the top between Tony Hartley and Dave Berry; Harley edged a fifty point lead after Berry put four arrows in the Green scoring zone (Grass) at the 50m distance. At the 30m distance Berry starts a fight back charge putting in a four gold end and as hard as he tries he just can’t over haul Hartley and has to settle for the runners up spot, Michael Tancurin put in a good show to get the last run on the podium good showing for his first barebow target shoot. 1st Tony Hartley 69 2 2 448 2nd Dave Berry 65 3 0 409 PB 3rd Michael Tancurin 50 1 0 283 PB The George girls do a fita 900 practice round as they have miss this round while competing in the national series this year.
