A 13-year-old made history by hitting a clout flagpole twice in one session.
Daniel Rozstrusnyy, a junior member of Euston Park Bowmen, achieved this remarkable feat during a Norfolk Clout League fixture at Fakenham Racecourse.
The junior distance is set at 75 metres.
Clout archery involves shooting at a flag from a distance, with arrows scoring based on their proximity to the central flagpole.
Hitting the pole itself is exceptionally rare, akin to scoring a hole-in-one in golf.
In this case, Daniel managed it twice in the same round.
This achievement is believed to be unprecedented, especially for such a young archer.
The Norfolk Clout League, hosted on the Fakenham Bowmen outdoor range, has been helping to raise the profile of clout archery and encourage more archers, including juniors, to take part in this traditional long-distance discipline.
Norfolk is the first and currently only county in the UK to run an annual clout league, with organisers hoping the initiative will inspire other counties to follow suit and help grow participation in the discipline that harks back to the Middle Ages.
