JuniorsA cracking start: Elliot wins silver at first competition
What's the best way to handle your first ever competition? By overcoming your nerves and winning a medal of course. That's what nine-year-old Elliot Thornton did when he took part in the annual Staffordshire Indoor Championships. Elliot joined Trent Valley Archers shortly after finishing his beginners' course last September. He soon swapped the recurve bow for a compound and could not wait to begin competing. That's how he found himself at Lilleshall. He took a very deep gulp, walked up to the line, and came away with a total score of 565 and a silver medal. But he wasn't the only Trent Valley junior celebrating at the end of the tournament. Last year 12-year-old Tom Garside was a newbie and won junior compound silver. This year he went one better, becoming junior compound champion with a score of 612. And they were both shooting a Stafford round; not the easiest. The boys are good friends who train at least three times a week. They support and encourage each other's shooting and are definitely ones to watch. 
The perfect line-up
Sometimes you find perfection when you least expect it. And that's what grandma Jenny Jolley did when taking this picture of her son, Steve, and granddaughter Grace. And the perfect alignment of Grace and her dad's arrows could be reflection of their progress since they first tried archery while on holiday in 2015. They were both so inspired that they joined Green Dragon Bowmen last year and, since then, Grace has been consistently collecting medals while her dad took the barebow title at the Hampshire Archery Association indoor championships. Have a break? This really is the only way
Fancy a break? How about taking it with your very own customised Kit Kat? Well that's what 15-year-old Chase Archer Alex Scotson is doing. He spotted a promotion being run by Nestlé Confectionery which offered consumers the chance to win Kit Kat packs with personalised messages and pictures. Alex thought Archer's Break would make a great tag line; and Nestle agreed, printing up a wrapper featuring him pointing at his arrow in the gold. Now our only problem is that we cannot go out buy our own archer's break bar. Only one was produced and it has been gift wrapped and sent to Alex. The promotion ended a few weeks ago, but it proved so popular (more than 55,000 were up for grabs) that there might be another. So keep your eyes peeled. Now the big question is: can Alex resist the temptation? And he wasn't the only archer to take advantage of the offer. Symon Davis tweeted to let us know how he immortalised his best group on a Portsmouth.

When Ella Shield of Cleve Archers took part in the club's spring metric shoot, she knew that she could challenge one of the sport's biggest names. Well on one level at least. So she donned her nattiest hat and went head to head with Olympian Patrick Huston who was, of course, wearing his signature flat cap. Both were all smiles and happy to pose for the camera; but we’ll leave it up to you to decide who won.
