The Grand National Archery Society's 60th National Flight Championships were held at RAF Church Fenton in North Yorkshire on Saturday the 18th of August 2007. 47 archers shot for sheer distance, one of the largest entries this tournament has seen. Despite the side wind and heavy showers, several World and British records were set.
