Perth Archery Club - Scotland

A rainbow shone brightly above Perth archery range,
While arrows explored places entirely strange;
The real pot of gold, as every archer knows,
Is finding your arrows no matter where they go 😂🌈🎯🏹

🏹🌦️ Perth Archery Club Summer Handicap Competition 2026 🌦️🏹

According to the weather forecast, today was supposed to involve competing from a canoe. Thankfully, the weather gods must have been archers too, as we only had a few showers!

A huge congratulations to all our medal winners today and a shoutout to overall winners:

🏆 David - winner of the Doo'cot Trophy
🏆 Annabelle - winner of the Ayton Cup

Special congratulations to our father-and-daughter double act, David and Annabelle. Family bragging rights have officially been secured!

🏹 Mark took top honours in the Traditional category, showing that some things never go out of style.

🌟 And a massive well done to Annie, our youngest competitor at just 10 years old, who won the Mini Ayton Cup. We suspect she's already planning where to display her medal!

The shooting was excellent, the company was even better, and the day was rounded off perfectly with strawberries and cream, plenty of delicious cakes, and the important post-competition debate about whether archery burns enough calories to justify a second helping. (The answer was unanimously "yes".)

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it such a fantastic day. 🎯

Congratulations Ian! A fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. Thank you for everything you do for Perth Archery Club and the wider archery community. 🎯🏆

🏹 Volunteers’ Week Shout Out 🏹

This Volunteers’ Week, we’d like to give a huge shout out to the amazing people who generously give their time to keep our club running smoothly. From setting up and packing away, maintaining equipment and grounds, organising events and competitions, serving on committees, welcoming new members, and stepping in whenever help is needed - you are the people who make Perth Archery Club such a fantastic place to be.

Your dedication, good humour, and willingness to help make a real difference to our club and everyone who shoots here. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do.

Thank you for being the heart of Perth Archery Club. We couldn’t hit the target without you! 🎯

A quieter session on the range tonight - maybe the mixed weather forecast or Friday night plans kept a few people away. That said, it turned into a really good evening and thankfully the weather behaved itself for us! 🎯

Great to see some new faces joining us too. Always nice to welcome new archers onto the line and see everyone enjoying themselves.
