CROSSBOW: Rugby Sport for the Disabled members test their skills at 18m shoot
Five RSDA members took part in the Indoor 18m shoot at the weekend and Iris Bingham, Graeme Mooney and Anne Burt won golds in the assisted (disabled) section. Four archers took part in a friendly shoot too.
The crossbow target was a 25cm vegas face, so the ten ring was 2.5cm in diameter. Kevin Rumble said: “I was shooting a new bow for a third time and found the target so tiny.”
