This week saw the archers take on the challenges of the Vegas round. This round consists of twenty ends of three arrows shot at three targets and numbered arrows, number one arrow in numbered target one and so on which means if you score a ten with the wrong arrow in the wrong target you score zero so concentration levels have to be high. In the gents recurve Tony Hartley put in a storming first two ends and only dropped five points which gave him a lead that was good enough to top the podium while Splinters backed Dave Berry had two misses this set the tempo for the day for Berry by finishing with eight misses to get the runners up spot. Colin Moore also had three misses and managed to keep his sights set high putting in a PB puts him on the bottom run of the podium with Michael Tancurin trying new equipment again putting in five misses forces his retirement. Gents compound saw Team Isle of Man CWG archery team coach Peter Mumford take to the targets after four weeks off and still carrying a virus picked up from the Delhi trip with screws backing of on his bow forces his retirement. Ladies Recurve saw Anne Rutland shoot just below her PB but puts in a season’s best with five misses. In the ladies compound division saw the George girls go head to head for the first time at an indoor round. Aalin started well and held a fourteen point lead over her sister Kirsten by the halfway stage at the restart a slight lapse in concentration and missing her shooting detail had to record three misses. Aalin pushed her performance up but could not claw back the points lost with those misses and finishes three points behind her sister so first blood goes to Kirsten. Juniors Recurve discipline shot a Fita 18 this saw Chris Holmes top the table but the big surprise of the day was from Adam Wright who chased Holmes all the way and put a massive 300 points on his PB not bad as it’s only the second time he’s shot this round.
