Kent WRS720 with H2Hs – Tournament Results

Posted on | by Lewis Brown

On Sunday 9th June 2024, 78 archers on 24 targets descended on Vigo to compete in the KAA WRS720 with Matchplay. Thankfully the weather stayed dry, the temperature varied and the wind? Well it started off calm and Vigo being Vigo, it got a bit breezy by the time we got to the head to heads after lunch.

It was a great day with some shooting their first head to head whilst for others it was their first ever tournament with some good results.

Kent Field Championship date

Posted on | by Tony Harris | Leave a Comment on Kent Field Championship date

Due to the on going wet weather it has been decided to move the Kent Field championship to a time when hopefully we will have no issues with parking at the site. Those of you that attended last year will be aware of how wet the parking area was and we do not wish to further upset the land owner and risk having no where to park. We will notify the date as soon as confirmed.
