Arc Club Gessien in Nîmes

2025-01-24T00:00:00+00:00

Every year for about ten years now, club members have travelled in January to the international competition in Nîmes.
This renowned competition attracts more than 1,000 competitors from all over France and around the world. The world’s best come to battle it out.
Our members compete with varying degrees of success against tough opposition.
But this year, in the U15 recurve category, Hector Campanelli made it onto the podium, winning the bronze medal.
Eighth after qualifications, he faced the top-ranked archer in a head-to-head match and knocked him out; in the next round he was beaten, then drew his following match and won by a few millimeters on the shoot-off arrow.
A big well done and our warmest congratulations.

Associations day 2024

2024-06-14T00:00:00+00:00

On Saturday 1 June 2024, at the Salle Gaston Laverrière in Prévessin-Moëns, the club gave 110 people an introduction to archery.
Thanks to the instructors Fabienne, Carla and José, who assisted Marie-Rose at this event.

Our teams in competition

2024-06-11T00:00:00+00:00

The 2023/2024 team shooting season is drawing to a close. There are still regional finals to come, but none of our teams has qualified.
Some events took real courage because of rather chilly weather. Archery isn’t easy with hands numb from the cold.
Here are the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes league rankings:
U13-U15 category (benjamins-minimes): 9th/16
U18-U21 (cadets-juniors): 12th/16
Seniors in DRE: 5th/16
Well done, everyone

Prévessin-Moëns associations fair

2022-05-26T00:00:00+00:00

On Saturday, May 21, the club ran its archery demonstration and taster stand at the Salle Gaston Laverrière in Prévessin.
We introduced about 70 people, children and adults, to archery between 2 and 6 pm. A busy afternoon for the volunteers
who gave their time for this event. Thank you to them.
A few people signed up on the spot and others took the information leaflet. The date turned out to work well.
The atmosphere was more relaxed than at the back-to-school fairs.

Chalain training camp 2022

2022-03-28T00:00:00+00:00

After 2 difficult years of pandemic, it was an immense pleasure to get together again on the weekend of March 26 and 27, 2022 for our traditional team shooting preparation camp at Lake Chalain.

11 members of the Arc Club Gessien and 8 members of the Archers de la Vallée de Thônes were able to discover or practice team shooting and long-distance shooting over an intensive weekend!

Warm thanks to the MFR du Haut Jura in Doucier for their hospitality, top-notch as always. A big thank-you also to Michel from the Thônes club for co-organizing!

See you in a few weeks for the start of the team shooting season!!!

Indoor competition 2022

2022-01-10T00:00:00+00:00

Hello everyone,
We were delighted to be able to host our traditional indoor competition again on the weekend of 8 and 9 January 2022!
Despite a fairly low number of participants and no refreshment stand because of the health situation, it was a really friendly event.
Thank you for taking part and for your good spirits.
Thanks also to all the club volunteers for their commitment this weekend.
And finally, thanks to the town of Prévessin-Moëns for lending us the hall despite the circumstances.
Congratulations to everyone on your results, and we hope to see you again on the shooting line very soon.

Maintenance work at the outdoor range

2021-06-22T00:00:00+00:00

^(Over the past few weeks, Jean-Louis, Jérôme and Laurent have been working on restoring the facilities at the outdoor range.)

^(The following work has been done: )

- replacing the worn straw bosses on the 20, 30 and 40 meter targets (Jean-Louis, Jérôme, Laurent)

- repainting all the target frames, as well as the benches (Jean-Louis)

- replacing the left leg of the double target at 70m (Jean-Louis, Jérôme, Laurent)

- starting to refurbish the wooden tables; the work will be finished later (Jean-Louis)

Looking forward to seeing you all back at the range soon, we wish you all a lovely summer and great shooting!

Range refurbishment

Coming out of the crisis!?

2021-05-30T00:00:00+00:00

The sunny days are back, along with good news about the end of this health crisis, which tested everyone’s morale and nerves in a way none of us had ever experienced before.
You can now go back to practicing at the range without a Doodle sign-up, with a lighter protocol and more people allowed at once.
On May 12, 2021, Laurent organized an arrow badge test for the young archers concerned and interested; seven took part. The aim was to keep up their interest in archery while there are no official competitions.
We look forward to seeing you back at the range to enjoy this newfound freedom.

2020: a cold shower

2021-01-07T00:00:00+00:00

After a disappointing 2020

ARC CLUB GESSIEN WISHES YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021

As you will have noticed, there were no sporting events at all for the club and its members.
With every competition cancelled, we didn’t organize anything and nobody was able to shoot
elsewhere, except in Switzerland this summer.
Outdoor training went ahead with plenty of restrictions. The same went for the return to the indoor hall,
which sadly came to a halt again after only a month and a half.
We ended 2020 and are starting 2021 with the same restrictions for now. Contact and
practice have been limited, which can weigh on members’ morale to some degree and affects
how the club runs.
Like everyone, we hope for a quick way out of this uncomfortable and difficult situation,
so that we can see each other again on the shooting line.

Sad news…

2020-07-28T00:00:00+00:00

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Sandro Petretto, a member of the club for many years.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and his family.
Rest in peace, fellow archer.

Youth regional championship

2020-02-19T00:00:00+00:00

Six young archers went to Grenoble for the 2020 youth regional championship, for which they had qualified. One podium for Prévessin: first place for Cédric Koch in the poussins category, who takes the title of regional champion. As for the others, Lisa, Lucas, Rémi, Léo and Titouan: well done to them, they fought hard and represented the club as best they could. Thanks to the coaches who accompanied them for their dedication.

Challenge 5 May 2019, round 1

2019-05-08T00:00:00+00:00

On Sunday 5 May, the club hosted a round of team competition for the first time.
The challenge category was invited to this event. The challenge is shot at 50 m and is the first level of regional team competition; after that come the DRH and then the DRE, which are shot at 70 m.
Running the matches in the afternoon was a first for the club, but everything went well. To be fair, we had prepared this event very seriously.
Other clubs congratulated us on the organisation and our welcome. That’s nice to hear.
The weather was very chilly and the bise (the cold north wind) stayed with us all day. Well done to the archers and to the club members who worked to make this competition a success.
The PREVESSIN team was made up of four archers, three of whom were competing for the first time, and finished eighth out of twelve. A very respectable result for a first outing.

Chalain training camp 2019

2019-04-12T00:00:00+00:00

On Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 March, we met at Lac de Chalain for our traditional training camp to prepare for the outdoor season and team shooting.
There were 12 participants from our club and 10 from the Thônes club, with whom we co-organize this camp.

After a Saturday morning devoted to individual shooting in a “pyramid” format, it was time for team shooting: on Saturday afternoon with mixed teams from both clubs, and on Sunday morning with the club teams entered in this season’s various regional team competitions.
Sunday afternoon was devoted to long-distance shooting (70m for adults and 50m for the younger archers).

It’s always a pleasure to return to the MFR du Haut Jura for this camp, and we thank them for their welcome and their meals, which are always top-notch!!!

We can’t wait for next year’s edition!!!

Family shoot 2019

2019-04-08T00:00:00+00:00

On Friday 29 March 2019, the family shoot took place at the Salle Gaston Laverrière.
The format was similar to previous years, with shooting on English targets, 3D targets, Beursault, field archery, game targets and homemade targets made by Marie-Rose.
Everyone shoots barebow, and although turnout was low this year, the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.

2018-11-07T00:00:00+00:00

First outing of the indoor season for 9 of our young archers this weekend, at our neighbours the Arc Club Jussy.
Sam and Miyuka discovered official competition and both achieved very good results for a first time.
A discovery too for Titouan and Yohan, but of the 40 cm triple-spot target… Good results, but they’ll need to work on getting ALL their arrows into the spots 😉

Remember that this competition is organised by the young archers of the Arc Club Jussy and is reserved for youth. Thanks to them, and maybe it gives us a few ideas…

Repair day at the hall and outdoor range

2018-04-10T00:00:00+00:00

On Monday 09.04.2018 we replaced all the straw strips on the wall at the Gaston Laverrière hall. We also replaced the straw in some of the targets on the outdoor range: at 70m all three existing targets, at 50m 2 targets out of 3.

Thanks to our valiant volunteers Jean-Louis, Georges, Raymond, Martin Roks and Laurent for this day of work!

The work continued on Tuesday, with Raymond, Jean-Louis and Georges cutting up the old Stramit boards to make new strips and carry on repairing the targets on the outdoor range!

It was their first competition and they all did well and had a lot of fun. In total there were 2 podiums: one for Iliana, 3rd in BFCL (benjamin women, recurve), and one for Thomas, 2nd in CHCL (cadet men, recurve).

Annual general meeting, Monday 20.11.2017

2017-11-17T00:00:00+00:00

Hello everyone,

Our annual general meeting will take place this Monday, 20.11.2017, at 8 pm in the Salle Gaston Laverrière.

This year it is a little earlier than in previous years because we have changed our accounting system, which will now follow the school year instead of the calendar year.

This way our accounts will reflect our activities as accurately as possible.

As an exception, this AGM will cover the activity from January to the end of August, so that we can start afresh on the right footing.

We look forward to seeing lots of you there.

Thanks to the organizers and to Look Archery for the photos!

DR national final 2017

2017-09-06T00:00:00+00:00

This weekend the DR national finals, which offer promotion to D2, took place in Lescar (Nouvelle Aquitaine).

Our team, made up of Samuel Cordeau, Stéphane, Marco and Laurent, coached by Samuel Riotte, achieved a respectable result with a fine 5th place, which nevertheless keeps us out of D2 for next season…
So we’re off again for another DRE season, with another final next year where, I hope, we’ll find the “little something” we were missing this year, namely a bit more experience and a bit less stress for Marco and Laurent (it was the first DR final for both of them this year) 😉

Qualification results:
Stéphane 3rd with 628 points
Samuel 9th with 609 points
Laurent 83rd with 484 points
Marco 85th with 472 points

Match results:
Match 9/24: won 5 – 4 against Belfort – Savoureuse
Round of 16: won 5 – 4 against Rochefort sur Mer
Quarter-final: lost 6 – 2 against Pessac
Match 5/8: won 5 – 4 against Yzeure
Match 5/6: won 6 – 0 against Lannion

I hope you’re having a good holiday.

To help everyone plan their season as well as possible, I’ve put the 2017/2018 indoor calendar online in the club events.

Second round of the DR challenge

2017-06-19T00:00:00+00:00

On Sunday 11 June the second DR round took place in Thônes. The club was represented by Nicolas, Fabrice, Laurent and Pauline as archers, and Christophe as coach.

The sun was out, and so was the wind for the second end of the morning. After the morning’s shooting we were ranked fifth. We won our first match against the young archers from Bourg en Bresse (the most important one), but unfortunately lost all the others, so we finished 8th.

Fortunately, thanks to the points earned in the first round, where we came second, we have qualified for the DR final, to be held on 8 July in Lezoux.

2nd DRE youth round: Monistrol sur Loire

2017-06-05T00:00:00+00:00

On Sunday, June 4, the second round of the DRE youth division took place in Monistrol sur Loire.

Despite a start in drizzle and very cold temperatures, the rest of the day stayed dry.

As for the results, our young archers finished 9th (they lost in the round of 16, then won every match after that!).
That’s better than the first round, but they still need to be 100% switched on for the round of 16!

The season wraps up on June 25 in Villeurbanne.

Championnat de l’Ain: 10 titles for the Arc Club Gessien!

2017-05-24T00:00:00+00:00

Well done to everyone who took part in the Ain Federal / FITA championship held this weekend in Prévessin!

The club brings home no fewer than 10 titles across the two disciplines.

Congratulations to Armand, André, Clara, Nicolas, Melvyn and Samuel, who won FITA titles, and to Martin Roks, Clara, Nicolas and Fabrice, who are Ain Federal champions!

A big thank-you as well to everyone else for taking part and for helping to organize the competition.

The outcome of this intense competition weekend: two wins for Nicolas and a fine second place for Fabrice, who also set a new personal best in Fédéral!

2nd place for Fabrice on Sunday

Nicolas 1st in Corbas on Saturday

1st again on Sunday in Annecy

Well done, both of you!

DRE youth round 1 in Vichy

2017-05-15T00:00:00+00:00

This weekend the club was represented by Titouan, Benoît, Martin and Martin at the first DRE youth round of the new season.

Weather-wise, we had “almost” perfect conditions, had it not been for a thunderstorm during the last match…

As for results, the young archers did themselves credit despite a tough qualification round (there’s still work to do at 40 m!), which left them in tenth place.
That meant a rather difficult first match against Annemasse, lost 5-1 but by very few points.
The second match was a bye, as 3 of the 16 registered teams didn’t show up.
The next match against Chassieu was lost 6-0.
But to finish on a high note: the last match, for 11th–12th place, was won 6-0 against Bourg, with the best ends of the day!

So 11th place in the end… There’s still work to do, and I’m counting on ALL the young archers to put in the effort at training and improve on this result at the second round in Monistrol sur Loire on 04.06.2017.

Go, youngsters!!! And thanks for your commitment!

Challenge Auvergne Rhône-Alpes team competition: round 1

2017-05-08T00:00:00+00:00

Our teams’ first outing of the year this weekend in Salaise-sur-Sanne, for the first round of the Challenge Auvergne Rhône-Alpes team competition.

Despite a difficult start (only 12th after qualifications…), our team of Samuel, Killian and Laurent rose to the occasion in the afternoon matches:

Round of 16 won 5–1 against Thonon-les-Bains
Quarter-final won 6–2 against Ste Julie
Semi-final won in a shoot-off against Seynod
Final unfortunately lost in a shoot-off against Annecy
All in all, a great 2nd place

and a fantastic weekend together, helped by the weather, which spared us both rain and wind (just a few drops and a light breeze in the afternoon).

Next outing next weekend for 2 of our teams: the adult DRE and the youth DRE. Here’s hoping for the same results 😉

Family day 2017

As for the results:

Nicolas finishes first with 580 points in CHCL Fédéral
Fabrice 545 points (SHCL Fédéral)
Laurent 624 points (SHCO FITA)

Registration procedure for the DRE youth division

2017-04-03T00:00:00+00:00

Hi everyone,

The DRE youth season will be starting again soon. To find out who is available, please go to the website as soon as possible, under the “vie sportive / liste des compétitions à venir” (sports / upcoming competitions) tab.

In the list that appears, you will find the dates and venues of the 3 DRE youth rounds. When you select a round, there is a registration form at the bottom of the page that lets you book a place. (To make it easier to keep track of your registration, you first need to sign up on the website, under the “ACCES MEMBRES / S’inscrire” (members’ area / sign up) tab. When signing up, it is ESSENTIAL to use the archer’s FIRST NAME and LAST NAME, not the parents’ names or a nickname, because I use this information to send the registration requests to the various clubs!)

Depending on how many archers sign up for each round, I will hold a selection test at the range to pick 4 participants per round.

If you have any questions, I am of course available during training sessions!

Chalain training camp 2017

2017-03-27T00:00:00+00:00

In the end, 24 of us (15 ACG members and 9 from the Archers de la Vallée de Thônes) made the trip to Lac de Chalain this weekend for our now traditional training camp to prepare for team shooting.

In the sunshine on the shore of Lac de Chalain!

Chalain 2017 group!

The camp took place in a cheerful, friendly atmosphere, and I’d like to thank everyone who came for their commitment!

After a “pyramid”-format qualification round on Saturday morning, it was on to team shooting on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, where everyone could discover it or get back into their stride for the coming season! Sunday afternoon: shooting at 70 m for those who wanted to.

A really great archery weekend, anyway! I hope everyone enjoyed it and that the photos will make others want to join in next year!

For those who took part, I collected the score sheets from the pyramid, so here are the results:

Outdoor range now open

2017-03-22T00:00:00+00:00

The outdoor range on route du Maroc is now open; Samuel and Jean-Louis took the covers off the targets last weekend, thanks to them!

As a reminder: the facilities are reserved for members of the Arc Club Gessien whose membership fees are paid up (LICENCE REQUIRED).

For adults: the range is accessible 24/7, provided you have received prior approval from a coach.

For minors: same conditions, but a parent and/or a club official MUST be present for THE ENTIRE session!

We wish you lots of fun and good arrows for the new outdoor season ahead!

Spécial jeunes de Thonon

2017-03-06T00:00:00+00:00

On Sunday 15 January, four of the club’s beginners took part in the Spécial jeunes youth competition in Thonon. It was a first for each of them. They had a lot of fun, got to discover what an archery competition is like, and three of them even made the podium!

Now we can only hope that this experience has motivated them even more to keep going, and that next time there will be more beginners!!!

Minimes women’s podium: Roxane third 🥉

Cadettes podium: Anna-Maria second 🥈 and Nina third 🥉

The results are available at the following link: *https://* www.dropbox.com/s/t2y7swbyr4abtz3/Clt_d%C3%A9butants_thonon_2017.pdf?dl=0

Once again, well done everyone!!!

The “discovery” licence lets you practice with the club from March to August at a very reasonable cost (contact us for more information).
It gives you access to supervised sessions during classes (Monday or Wednesday depending on your age), as well as free practice on our outdoor range (once approved by the coaches).

PLEASE NOTE: places are limited!

For any information, you can contact us through the website.

Adult league championships

2017-02-27T00:00:00+00:00

This weekend saw the league championships for the adult categories.

The recurve archers were in Neuville-sur-Saône and the compound archers in Salaise-sur-Sanne.

Only one club member was there… Laurent (senior compound) didn’t shine, but he shot at his usual level. He finished 21st, matching his qualification ranking. In the senior men’s compound category, Pierre-Julien Deloche took a fine (and expected 😉 ) win, with a final match score of 149 out of a possible 150!

That wraps up the 2016/2017 indoor season for our club, as unfortunately none of our archers qualified for the French national championships.

Now on to the outdoor season!!!

Youth league championship

2017-02-20T00:00:00+00:00

The club’s young archers turned out in force this weekend in St-Etienne for the last league championship of the Rhône-Alpes regional archery committee, since the next one will be held under the banner of the new, larger Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

It was a very positive weekend for the club, with no fewer than 8 qualified archers and some great podiums for 3 of them!

Remember that for most of the benjamins/minimes this was their very first time at this level of competition. They did themselves proud despite a “hint” of nerves 😉

Here are the detailed results:

BENJAMINS / MINIMES GROUP
Armand MEOT: 5th place
Benoît DEL MORAL: 15th place
André CORREIA: 9th place
Titouan PICARD: league runner-up!!! WELL DONE!
With one exception, they all improved their regional ranking at this competition.

CADETS / JUNIORS GROUP
Melvyn ROUCHOUSE: 11th place
Nicolas VILAIN: 4th place
Pauline GERNER: 3rd place!!!! WELL DONE!
Clara DEL MORAL: league runner-up!!!!! WELL DONE!
They all improved their regional ranking, so a very positive result!
Special mention to Clara, who was discovering this level of competition and handled the event exceptionally well!!!

See you this summer for the outdoor championships, with more experience under our belts and the same enthusiasm as ever!

Arrow badge tests

2017-02-10T00:00:00+00:00

Hello everyone,

On Wednesday 15 February, the white arrow badge test only will take place, for those who don’t have it yet.

For everyone else, as the league championship is coming up soon, training will run as usual.

Thanks to UCG, who are giving us their time slot, we will have an extended session so we can hold the badge test calmly and train a little longer for those going to the league championship.

(As a reminder, the white arrow is shot at 10m on an 80 cm target face. You shoot 6×6 arrows and need at least 280 points to pass.)

2017-02-09T00:00:00+00:00

And there we have it! A great weekend spent all together with the Annemasse and Thônes clubs!

Rather wintry weather on Saturday, but wonderful on Sunday (some even shot outdoors in the afternoon!)

Our young archers (and the not-so-young …. 😉 ) behaved really well, and I congratulate them once again. Everyone shot well and went home pretty tired, I think!

For the young archers it was very good preparation for team shooting, which they’ll be trying for the first time in two weeks in St Laurent de Chamousset.

I’d like to thank Bruno from the Annemasse club for the exemplary organization (as usual 😉 )

We’re already set for next year, anyone interested take note ….

St Lupicin competition

2017-02-06T00:00:00+00:00

Nine of the club’s archers made the trip to St Lupicin. Some very good results, including 547 for André, 531 for Marco and 517 for Titouan.

A nice trophy for the young archers, who finished first in the team event!

Well done everyone: almost all of you beat or equalled your personal best!

Important information: travelling with minors

2017-01-15T00:00:00+00:00

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

From 15/01/2017, minors leaving French territory without a legal guardian must present an authorization to leave the country, together with a copy of the legal guardian’s ID, in addition to their own ID. I would therefore ask everyone concerned to print and fill in the following form: https://www.formulaires.modernisation.gouv.fr/…/cerfa_15646… and to remember to bring it to every away competition.

Thank you all
