Excellent archery on display at Bridlington Indoor Portsmouth competition
Archers of Bridlington & Burton Agnes (ABBA) recently held their 36th Bridlington Indoor Portsmouth competition at Gypsey Road Sports Centre in Bridlington.
There were over 120 Archers from 22 Clubs, including 18 juniors from across the Yorkshire region and beyond, coming together for morning and afternoon sessions.
The Lord Paramount for the shoot was Mike Heslop-Mullens, the Mayor of Bridlington.
There was excellent shooting on display from Archers shooting the Recurve bow, the traditional Longbow, the Barebow and the Compound bow.
All were trying to win the first place trophies for the four disciplines for both Ladies and Gents.
The Juniors were also going for first place in their individual bow disciplines and age groups. Team and Couple trophies were contested for and it was, as usual, a spectacle to see. All prizes were presented by Mike Heslop-Mullens.
The competition was sponsored by Black Ridge Archery Ltd from Driffield.
