Quimperlé Archery Club Maintains Full-Year Schedule Across Local Facilities
« On profite de deux belles infrastructures mises à disposition par la mairie », said Guy Corpart, highlighting the municipal support for the local sports group.
Archers in Quimperlé are maintaining an active year-round training schedule across indoor and outdoor venues. The amicale des tireurs à l’arc de Quimperlé, known locally as the Requins, operates out of two main sites: the Kerjouanneau hall and the Albert Le Tyrant shooting range at Kerbertrand.
Le Club Maintient Une Base De 80 Membres
The club maintains a steady membership base of 80 participants. Organizers cap new entries at roughly 20 participants for introductory sessions to manage facility capacity. Several second-year junior members are now transitioning into official regional competitions.
« Nous avons désormais des équipes à tous les niveaux, y compris chez les femmes qui représentent un tiers des licenciés », said Mikaël Gloaguen.
Kerjouanneau Hall Hosts Winter Tournament
The club is preparing to host its two-day winter competition at the Kerjouanneau hall. Franck Carriou reported that the event has drawn 140 registered competitors from across the region, alongside 25 participating members from the host club.
Competition will take place on 18-meter targets, featuring two separate shooting sessions on Saturday—including events dedicated to younger athletes—followed by a final session on Sunday.
Finistère Field Championship Scheduled for 2027
Looking ahead to future fixtures, the Quimperlé club will host the Finistère field archery championship. The competition is scheduled for May 2027 at the Kerbertrand site.
« On l’organisera sur le site de Kerbertrand, le bois convient parfaitement à ce type de compétition. Nous installerons 24 cibles », club representatives stated regarding the woodland venue layout.
