As you may have seen from recent posts on our social media accounts, we are hosting an NFAS open shoot on the 31st of October 2021. This means we will be having several maintenance days in the next couple of months to prepare the woodland and the course.

Hosting an open shoot takes a substantial amount of work, both in the weeks before the shoot and also on the day of the shoot. The funds we raise by hosting the shoot go a long way towards helping us maintain and replace the equipment and facilities we all use as members of the club, including the hall and woodland. We would like as many members as possible to get involved in hosting the shoot this year, so if you can spare any time at all, no matter how little, please come and join us at the wood on one of the maintenance days.

The first maintenance day will be on the 11th of September and we will look to arrive around 10am. I realise this may be short notice for a lot of you so don’t worry if you can’t attend. There will be more opportunities to get involved over the coming weeks.

The first maintenance day will usually involve a survey of the woodland and the course to assess how much work will be required and to draw up a list of tasks. If time permits, it may also involve some course planning for the second loop of the NFAS course that will run through our permanent EFAA course.

We also need to get an idea of how many people want to get involved and also, how many of you can commit to attending on the day of the shoot to assist with the various duties such as marshalling and car parking.

If you are unable to attend on the 11th and still want to get involved, please let me know by replying to this email. For those of you who wish to get involved and can attend the woodland on the 11th, we’ll see you there.

Thanks in advance
Andy

Hi everyone

maintenance day image

We will be having a maintenance day at the wood on 30th May. Now that we are coming out of the varying degrees of COVID restrictions, we need to put in some work to get the equipment and course ready for our open shoot later in the year. We will be arriving at the wood from 9am and trying to work as long as we can to achieve as much as possible.

We will primarily be focussing on repairing and rebuilding as many of the bosses in the wood as we can. If we have sufficient people attending, then we may also be able to carry out some of the other tasks that need doing around the wood at the same time.

We should have the equipment and materials we need for the work on the bosses, but things like hammers, shears, branch cutters, gloves etc are always useful so feel free to bring any tools you think will be useful. You will also need to bring your own lunch/refreshments.

All members are welcome and are encouraged to attend. It will give you an opportunity to meet other club members and you may also pick up a few new skills.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on the 30th.

Club News

Hi Everyone

As the government are easing the restrictions that have been in place due to Covid-19, the club has decided to make the wood available for practice again.

This is for the sole use of Artemis Archers members who hold a current full NFAS membership.

Your use of the wood is subject to your compliance with the conditions outlined in the document linked below. If these conditions are not adhered to, it will result in the woodland once again being closed for practice. Please ensure you read and understand the conditions before visiting the wood.

Currently the NFAS course is safe to shoot, however there are several targets/bosses that require some maintenance. If any bosses are laid over, they are not fit for shooting. Please do not put them back in place. If you find any other issues, please email me with the details and I’ll add them to the maintenance schedule.

If you have any questions, or require further information or clarification, please contact me directly.

Club News

Hi Everyone

Firstly, thank you to everyone who turned up to for the maintenance day today. Your help is very much appreciated.

Following on from the work done today, a list of maintenance tasks has been compiled and is currently being kept on a Wunderlist. I have included a current copy of the list below.

Tasks

☐ New targets 2,3&4 require pegs setting
☐ Boss 10 needs rebanding
☐ Boss 10 needs rotating 90 degrees
☐ Old 8 (new 9) birch needs removing at break
☐ New 7 move pegs
☐ Trim tree between 5 &6
☐ New boss 5 needs restaking
☐ Old 9 (new 5) back stop remove
☐ New bosses for 2,3 & 4
☐ Clear between 4 & 5
☐ Chain saw trees between new 2,3, 4 and 5

If you’re visiting the wood at all and you can spare a little extra time to complete any of the tasks above, it would really help to keep the course and the woodland in good shape for everyone.

The list will be fluid with new tasks being added and existing tasks marked as complete. If you would like access to the live list on Wunderlist, please leave a comment below and you will receive an invitation containing a link by email from one of the existing members.

Thanks

Andy
