It was business as usual for Josh Trafford in the Gents Recurve, as he romped home 43 points clear of Dave Berry. John Hill finished in third after a couple of misses with his score well down from him usual best.
In the Junior Boys Recurve Aaron Pannell-Cottier added 13 points to his pb but had to settle for second place behind a triumphant James Hill. Jacob Brookes finished in third.
Tilly Ashton had a nightmare shoot with two misses and a score well below what she is capable of.
