27th April Open Shoot
Dear Archers
What a wonderful day we had on Sunday at our Open Shoot.
We hosted 170 archers (16 no shows) who all seemed to enjoy our new courses on what turned out to be a rather (unusually for Duvelle) warm and dry day.
The day seemed to go smoothly as the radios were unusually quiet!
Catering completely sold out of food and cold drinks!
We would all like to thank the smiling archers who attended who made our day such a success and thank you for their appreciative comments about both courses.
Paul & Julie and Bjorn - Sandpit Wood &
Graham, Ray, Jess & Kris - Pond Wood take a bow!
We look forward to seeing you all again in September later in the year. (Bookings now being taken!)
Regards, Stu
Duvelle Bowmen Chairman
28th September Open Shoot
Dear Archers,
What a wonderful day we had today at our September 2025 Open Shoot.
We hosted 132 archers (7 no shows and a handful of late cancellations) who all seemed to enjoy our revised courses on what turned out to be a rather (unusually for Duvelle) warm and dry day.
Sorry, it's not the same without the famous Duvelle Mud!
The day seemed to go smoothly, with a nice prompt start just after 10am and the radios were unusually quiet!
Catering were kept very busy feeding you all.
The marshals hardly had anything to do, the odd stray arrow to find and a loose peg or two!
A nice early finish in the daylight as well.
We would all like to thank the smiling archers who attended who made our day such a success and thank you for their appreciative comments about both courses.
Especially thanks too: -
Paul & Julie and Bjorn - Course Layers for Sandpit Wood
& Graham, & Stu - Course Layers for Pond Wood
You tested the archers and proved it could be done without stretching anything, take a bow! (Pun intended)
We look forward to seeing you all again at either or both of our next shoots: -
26th April 2026. (Bookings being taken after the 1st of January 2026 please!)
AND/OR
27th September 2026 (Bookings being taken after the 1st of July 2026 please!)
Special thanks in no particular order, the admin team, the catering team, the marshals and the car parking team.
Regards, Stu
Duvelle Bowmen

Here you go to the 132 archers who attended our Open Shoot.
Thank you all for your patience.
