Malgrave Moonlight Shoot
A whistle blows and up to 100 archers start shooting at the targets, 30m away, each one lit by a single lightbulb.
You’re at the Moonlight!
3 dozen arrows at 30m at an 80cm face may seem easy, but when the only light (apart from a little behind the line) comes from the lights above the targets, then all of a sudden knocking the arrow becomes a challenge, let alone seeing the string to line up properly and it is not unusual for a light to be shot out!
Recent years have seen the biggest entries at the shoot, the size of which is limited by the number of lights which can be run before creating a National Grid crisis.
We hope to see you at the next Moonlight Shoot……………………………..
