HAA 3D Championships.
Overton Black Arrows had a record turnout for a 3D tournament at the weekend with 75 archers competing in an event that incorporated both the Hampshire and SCAS Championships. Hampshire archers made up a third of the competitors and competed in 12 of the 19 available categories. In those 12 categories, 9 were won by Hampshire archers! The course was described as "highly-challenging" by many archers, and included a 40m shot uphill onto the rear end of a small deer, and an 11m shot onto frogs which are no more than 10cm high. The weather was superb, and great fun was had by all!

HAMPSHIRE versus SUSSEX 2023
The annual Inter-County match between Hampshire and Sussex was held at Waterside Archers on Sunday 30th April 2023.
Sussex were quite a few archers short of a full team, so on the day we matched the sides up like for like, even going so far as to allow 3 Sussex gents to compete against Hampshire ladies (the Ladies won)!
Overall once again, Hampshire were victorious, this time by a margin of 3535 with scores of Hampshire 23216 and Sussex 19681.
The individual scores are shown below with the archers in red not included in the total.
Two highlights from the match should be noted and celebrated!
First, Hampshire archer Craig May who broke no less than 3 County Records on his way to being top scoring Barebow archer on just his second appearance in a County Shirt. Huge congratulations!
And even more congratulations to the Hampshire Compound archers who extended their long unbeaten run. Last September, our Compound Team became UK National Champions and they have followed this up with first place in the SCAS Postal League, first place in the Kent 4 Way County Tournament and now victory today!

Following a gruelling 7 month journey consisiting of lectures, coaching an archer to improvement, documenting the process and working with senior coaches and mentors, Hampshire now has 11 new Development Coaches to add to it's ranks.
These intrepid die-hards underwent a harrowing (almost) assessment process on 29th January 2023 and handed in their Level 1 Coach badge to be awarded with the new Development Coach badge - a truly remarklable achievement.
One of Hampshire Archery Association's core objectives is to promote archery coaching in Hampshire and with the help of the County Coaching Team and CCO, senior coaches and County Coaches, who all game their time to work with the candidates, successfully ran the first face to face course of this type in Hampshire.
If you are interested in becoming a coach, keep an eye on the County Coaching website for more information.
