A World Record (subject to ratification) for Steve Prowse from Wolverhampton Company of Archers in the Visually Impaired Category was one of the highlights of a great day.!
This was our first World Record Status Shoot and also offered British Record and Non Record Status Rounds to ensure we offered archers of all abilities a chance to compete.

Our thanks must go to the Worshipful Company of Fletchers who again sponsored this tournament and without that support this important event would not take place.
