Burscough Archer’s offered free taster sessions to local NHS staff - who hit gold first time round!

On Thursday night, the first session was delivered on a beautiful May evening as five paediatric diabetes nurses with their IT manager, all from Ormskirk hospital, joined a group of coaches and volunteers from the club to experience archery first hand.

They had previously hardly shot an arrow between them but that didn’t get in the way of some excellent shooting.

They were shooting three arrows at a time and the first 'three golds' came up just 20 minutes into shooting with IT manager, Kev, hitting three golds, while a fun competition of six arrows each at the end of the session produced very good scores all round with Lynne scoring an outstanding 56 out of a possible 60.

The free offer is still open to Southport and Ormskirk NHS staff but is numbers limited, e-mail clubsecretary@burscougharchers.org.uk to book, while for more about taster sessions, beginners’ courses, etc. click https://www.burscougharchers.org.uk
