I’m singing in the rain /Just singin’ in the rain/What a glorious feeling /I’m happy again… This is how the lyrics of Gene Kelly’s famous song “Singin’ in the Rain” began. It wasn’t exactly a song, but it was a few hundred whistles that processed last Sunday the arrows of the forty archers who arrived from other lands and who, armed with their bows below, fought an arduous battle in pursuit of a victory in the VI La Veguilla 3D Archery Trophy and VI Caja Rural Trophy.
As expected, the rain was the enemy most feared by the archers and crouched under the stands of the Benavente Sports City, they attended to the moment to create an ambush that could surprise the hydrometeorological type atmospheric phenomenon that had arrived to rain down, and never better said. , the archer party.
The archers brandished weapons under the bleachers and sharpened their aim, advancing the Rural Bank Trophy in which each archer had one shot, two for those lacking aim, and be eligible for one of the prizes at the bank branch.
It seemed that the clouds with their weapon in the form of liquid retreated and archers and the public, who arrived in good numbers, celebrated with cheers and food that the victory belonged to them.
Mechanical or pulley bow, naked, longbow and traditional were prepared for the dispute of the Veguilla Trophy and each archer took his place. Athletes who came from clubs such as Arqueros Abulenses, Arqueros Ponferrada, Arqueros Astorga, Arqueros León, Arqueros Susurrón de Bembibre, Arqueros Tradicionales de Valladolid, Arqueros del Palacio, Arqueros Ulises de Alcobendas, Arqueros del Sol and of course those from home Arqueros Benavente, They faced the 3D modality which, as we have said on several occasions, consists of hitting FOAM animals with a closed foam made up mainly of polyethylene or polyurethane.
The morning became hot and those raincoats began to fall from their owners until they ended up with short sleeves.
The competition, organized by the Benavente Archers Clubresponded to the expectations offered with the presence of goalkeepers with Spanish championships such as Luis Caídas from Avila, the Benaventanos Bernardo Martinez or the national runner-up Sara Herrerothe “little one” of the competition José Antonio Díaz from Ulises de Alcobendas, or the regional captains from Abuelense José Antonio Crespo and Almudena Conejo.
