The December Awards and Competitions
December was a month our archers putting in strong performances, new records were achieved, which is always great to see! It’s always great to see others push themselves to achieve their personal best, and that’s exactly what happened last month.
New Club Records
This month, we proudly announce that Philip Churchill and Steve Robertson have set new club records.

The SCAA Postal Portsmouth
The Somerset county-wide competition we’ve been participating in for a number of years has been quite competitive and exciting. As a team, we’ve been putting in our best efforts and managed to secure second place last year, which was quite an achievement. Although we could not clinch the top spot, we were not far behind the leading team, which motivated us to work harder and come back stronger this year.
Currently, we have three teams participating in this competition, and our performance has been quite decent so far. Our teams are currently ranked 6th, 16th, and 25th, respectively, which is a good start.
We should note that Philip Churchill is so far the highest scoring Barebow in the Men 50+ category with 544, and Zoe Salvage the highest Barebow score in the Women U14 with 418
The SCAA Postal Frostbite
We have been participating in the Somerset Frostbite, a popular county-wide competition, for several years now. We are currently, in 20th place with only one team in the competition.
