If you saw Archery GB’s ‘Return to Competition’ update on 7th July you might have spotted this:
“The National Flight Championships are cancelled. However, we may be able to hold a record status shoot adhering to social distancing and other government guidelines, if it proves viable for the hosts. If you are interested in attending this, please contact Tony Bakes – email: tbakes@tbakes.karoo.co.uk”
I’m told this would take place at Church Fenton on either 9th or 16th August. If anyone needs help or info about shooting flight there would be instructions on the day – it really is an accessible discipline of the sport. (And a great chance to see how far an arrow can go!)
