Every year Nottinghamshire competes in the Oregon Challenge with Sherwood, Oregon as part of their Robin Hood Festival. The contest is run over two days and two of the League shoot competitions make up our scores.
This year our two legs were 3rd May at Bramcote and 14th June at Sherwood whilst the Oregon team held theirs at Sylvan Archers on 18th/19th July.
The scores have now been received and unfortunately we have lost again, although on the upside, several Burton Joyce members made up the team and put good scores in.
