Shooting with thearc. On a splendid day of this crazy November summer, Radicofani confirmed itself as a kind of nursery for archery. hunting.
After hosting the 1st Course for federal match officials, the picturesque town of “Pietre Bianche” in the Sienese municipality of Radicofani hosted the first edition of the Italian Championship of this federal discipline with the presence of over 70 finalists.
The competition did not suffer from the small but annoying youth ailments that are generally the characteristic of every debut and ran with chronometric regularity throughout the day.
A day blessed by a truly incredible climate that increased the approval rating (sporting and non-sporting) of all the archer companies who, beyond the competitive tension of a national final, proved to have a lot of fun.
A pleasant and auspicious atmosphere of friendship and great conviviality was thus established, also thanks to the "complicity" of the sponsors "The island of the sausage" and the "Cooperative Val d'Orcia" who did their utmost to offer a welcoming point of refreshment much appreciated and frequented by athletes eager to restore their strength after the competition round.
Another “ingredient” - perhaps the most important - of this delicious sports recipe was the competition field. Perfectly organized in terms of safety, competitive difficulty and usability by all categories, the route wound through groves and clearings, in an environment rich in landscape and natural suggestions.
The competition, held in an impeccable way also thanks to the collaboration of the Asd Arcieri Cacciatori "Prima" and many volunteers belonging to various sports associations, officially began with a minute of meditation to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris and to demonstrate that , as President Felice Buglione wrote in his message of good wishes: "Sport is stronger than terror and barbarism and its" mission "of bringing different peoples and cultures together cannot be stopped by fanaticism and intolerance". A message, this from President Buglione, which was confirmed and made even stronger by the massive presence of Cadets and Juniors who, as in all disciplines, represent the future of sporting activity and of the entire country.
The award ceremony, held in the churchyard in the main square of Radicofani, saw the enthusiastic presence of many local authorities headed by the mayor Francesco Fabbrizzi who complimented the level of the organization and the great sportsmanship of the athletes.
