More than 11,000 arrows were shot during a 24-hour fundraiser which collected £1,246 for a north Powys archery club and a local mental health charity.
Hafren Foresters Archery Club, based at Seasons Café in Caersws, held the shoot between Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28.
The club saw members taking to the field to shoot over a 24-hour period while members of the public were invited to join for some ‘have a go’ sessions over the weekend.

The club would like to thank everyone that got involved in the fundraiser, including the public that donated in the ‘have a go’ sessions and to those who sponsored the club members.
