Archery in Changé: Mayennais Participation & Sport Event

After its youth competition the day before, US Changé organized its selective Target competition on Sunday December 14 for the French indoor championships, with a revised format compared to last year. The competition took place over a distance of 18 meters, with two series of ten ends of three arrows spread over two starts. If an archer participates in both starts, only the first is counted for the podium specifies Stéphanie Moran, president of US Changé archery.

Different objective

The competition attracted many archers from Mayenne and the surrounding area, such as Eric Salmon (Compound bow – seniors 2) who finished second (567 points). I am disappointed with my performance this morning, which was very average, admits the licensee and coach of Genest-Saint-Isle. I shot much better in the afternoon. Arrived 8e last summer during the French outdoor shooting championships, the Mayennais put his indoor qualification into perspective. I would have to continue shooting like this afternoon to qualify. I hope to do well for the championships in the field and away.

If some had their sights set on qualification, others wanted to have fun, like Louis Foret (Recurve – U18), who spent two years at the U21 center in Nantes. I am satisfied with my competition, I felt good at the technical level says the 15-year-old from Mayen who finished first in indoor qualifications last year.
