Bronte Spotlight 2010
Frostbite shoots are for wimps! Real archers go to Bronte for the Spotlight 600 shoot. The 2010 shoot was held on Saturday the 13th of February, with sighters at 5:30 PM as the sun slunk below the horizon complaining of the cold. The number of archers was down on last year's bumper entry (though target number boards went up to 57), but those who came to Apperley Bridge enjoyed a great shoot at a great club, and were rewarded with delicious pie & peas afterwards.
Sterling work by Aaron Sutcliffe, Paul Kamill, Steve C and Lez Newsome, and apologies to anyone I've missed. Steve C pulled a daring rescue job on the peas after a watery near-disaster - everyone said they were fantastic.

Apologies for the quality of the following pictures - the photographer had difficulty shifting his ample backside from the chair:
