All of those taking part thoroughly enjoyed the event with some claiming personal best scores along the way.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2023!
Caldy Bowmen celebrated the arrival of New Year's Day by holding our annual charity fundraising event; the New Year's Day Frostbite Round.
Many of the more hardy club members, some might even say foolhardy, turned out to shoot a Frostbite Round after an evening spent celebrating the arrival of the New Year. The weather forecast was for rain showers, so everyone arrived suitably kitted out to deal with whatever Mother Nature sent our way.
The outdoor archery range was waterlogged due to the recent heavy rainfall and the range between the shooting line and targets quickly became very muddy.
This didn't dampen our enjoyment however. The sun came out and rain showers stayed away for the duration of the shoot. A few members decided to try shooting with a bow style they do not normally use: recurve archers tried shooting compound and compound archers shot using a recurve bow. For these archers, personal best scores were in their sights, not club records.
Everyone attending the shoot made a donation towards the club supported charity: The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital Charity
