A busy weekend for Napier archers is successfully completed.
Latest results are uploaded – see Results. Well done to Team Napier for keeping a strong second position in novice and senior categories!
It is also worth checking the Records page, as quite a few club records have been established! Definitely go there before they get wiped away this coming weekend! Record smashing continues…

Well it has been a busy November for university competitions, with two SSS League Matches, plus the Griftsmouth.
The first League Match at Strathclyde saw the senior team (Piotr, Ewan, Aurelien and Graeme) finish second in the match and also break the 5 year old senior team record, with 2118. The novice team (Jean, Anja and Jenny) got 1099 which was enough for fourth place. Piotr was 5th placed gent overall with 540 and Jean was 2nd gent novice with 445.
Two weeks later the same senior team smashed the record again with 2180 at Heriot-Watt. This was only 36 points behind Edinburgh! Graeme scored 548 and was 5th gent, Aurelien, Ewan and Piotr all shot 544 (6th, 7th and 8th gent!). Jean was 1st placed gent novice by a clear 20 points, with 503. The novice team (Jean, Anton and Anja) finished 2nd.
Both teams are now second in their respective League Tables, with two matches still to go.
In between was the Griftsmouth as hosted by Edinburgh. Jules came 2nd in the Griftsmouth, Ewan was 2nd in the Portsmouth round (1st student as Matt was 1st overall) and Niall was 4th in the biggest difference category.
During November, we welcomed 12 new archers (Anja, Anton, Aurelien, Christian, Eva, Graeme, Jean, Jenny, Kat A, Kat M, Morgane and Perrine) on to the NUAC competitive roll of honour which is probably some kind of record as well.

Message to seniors:
I will be there at 6, maybe a little earlier. If nobody turns up by 6:20, I probably will leave.
Come, if you dare – it may be wet, windy and cold…

We will be training in Craiglockhart tomorrow from 2pm onward. This is for seniors only.
We should be there at least until 4pm but possibly until it gets dark. If you’d like to come later than 4pm please let us know to make sure someone is still at Craiglockhart.
