Large Turnout For Our Outdoor Club Championships

Our Club Championships was the largest that our Chairman David Smith has seen, with eleven targets - congratulations to all the winners. There was also a presentation of AAS Badges to our Junior Archers - well done to Chloe, Brendan, Andrew & Tarran!


Awards For All

Redruth Archers has been successful in being granted £4,930.00 from the Awards for All. This will be used to set up a partnership with Penryn Sports College. Some of the money will be used to train new assistant coaches (level 1). Work is already under way to buy extra equipment, bosses, backstop netting etc. This will also give us a second indoor shooting venue hopefully starting in the New Year (Dates and times will be advised).
