Archery Targets: 90 Archers & Departmental Roles

O2 Coiffure 2021

On Sunday, the Halle des Orgues of Espaly-Saint-Marcel hosted, as every year, the departmental archery finals.

There were 90 archers from Haute-Loire, representing around ten clubs, to have qualified by combining competitions in Altiligeria or elsewhere, such as in Aurec, Lapte, Yssingeaux and already Espaly. In the Organ Hall, 22 throwing spaces with targets at 18 meters were available.

In bare, classic or compound bow, the archers performed 20 flights of 3 arrows in the morning, at the end of which a provisional classification was determined. The 2026 Haute-Loire champions were chosen at the end of the duels in the afternoon.

The best archers are qualified for the regional championships in Espaly, on February 7 and 8 for young people, in Riom on February 15 for adults.
