Originally established in 1960 by North Wales Archery Society, this UK Record Status Double American event was held annually for 57 consecutive years before its last iteration in 2017. The event features the challenging Double American round, where archers shoot 30 arrows at distances of 60, 50, and 40 yards. This sequence is completed twice, creating two full American Rounds and testing competitors’ precision, consistency, and skill across varying distances.
Thirty-seven archers from around the country gathered on a particularly windy Saturday morning to begin shooting. It was a fantastic day enjoyed by everyone in attendance - not only the archers but also the dedicated volunteers from the club who had spent months preparing for the event and had set up the field to a professional standard.
Four archers were able to claim 8 UK Status records at the event.
