ETTRICK Forest Archers kick-started their 2012 campaign on Sunday with the first club clout shoot of the season.
Scoring was very high for so early in the year – yet still incredibly close.
Mike Pearson took the overall win for the gents with a superb 38 hits and a score of 93, including one clout.
Tony Meldrum was the top scorer in the first half, while Alan Lindsay top-marked the second, and Jim Craig was top clout scorer of the afternoon with two.
Jim’s wife Ev ploughed a lonely furrow on the 120-yard ladies’ clout, but did not let the solitude stop her hitting a worthy 81 from 42 hits.
