The Scottish Competition, run by Auld Kirk Bowmen, consisted of 1 x 36 paper faces and 1 x 36 3Ds for the first time. Both courses were very enjoyable and most people really enjoyed the weekend. So well done Auld Kirk. I am going to take this opportunity to remind people of ‘course etiquette’. Now some who shoot don't mind if there is a brass band playing behind them. Some like to have a bit of quiet when concentrating at the peg. The problem is that it is not written on their forehead, so let’s just afford everyone a bit of silence when 'drawing up to shoot'. It’s just courtesy. Peter Kendrick has stood down as Coach Co-Ordinator. I would like to thank Pete for all his hard work and wish him every success in the future. Another item to bring to your attention is the Medical Dispensation procedure. It seems that a number of you have been a little confused over this and have just been turning up at shoots with a crossbow, a cocking aid and a doctor’s note stating to the organisers that you wish to shoot non-competitively (non-comp). Some have just gone out on the course and only bothered to produce a doctor’s note when challenged by other archers - and then forgotten to write NON COMP on the scorecards. To be valid, all dispensations must be approved by the General Secretary in advance, so you MUST send your request to him first, along with formal medical evidence. If your application is successful you will be issued with an official NFAS dispensation note, normally for a time limited period, which you must present to the organisers of any NFAS venue you shoot at. Crossbow cocking aids cannot be used except with an official NFAS Dispensation note. And those using a cocking aid must shoot 'non-comp' because use of a cocking aid improves the accuracy of the bow. This includes anyone who has a 'buddy' cocking the crossbow for them. I would also ask those considering applying for a disLine cutters What counts... and what pensation to use a cocking aid to consider using a crossbow that they could manage without an aid. doesn’t! Dispensations to use cocking aids should not mean that If the arrow shaft cuts into the outer edge of the line, the higher people purchase high powered bows and then use heavy score counts. bolts to keep the speed under 300f/ps. This is an area that the committee may look at in the near future. Scoring zone The change in crossbow style rules has been most sucNO cessful and has kept many members shooting Arrow despite having ailments or injuries that would have not allowed them to shoot without the changes made - and that’s got to be right!

PLEASE KEEP THE MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY UPDATED OF ANY ADDRESS CHANGES AND NON RECEIPT OF NEWSLETTERS. . ‘The Master’ JOHN WHITMORE by John Holder I FIRST met John Whitmore at the Woodmen of Arden in 1971 A.D., it being the British Longbow Society's annual clout shoot in the Midlands (Meriden). The BLBS in those days had 161 members - the secretary being Thomas Wright, Count Stainer, CB Edwards and Edward G Heath (not the politician but well known author of 'The Grey Goose Wing' etc), Richard (Dick) Galloway - props manager for films such as Robin Hood and Kirk Douglas in The Vikings (Dick presented me with the prototype for Kirk Douglas's viking helmet), also Godfrey in 'Dads Army' and Val Valentine were well known script writers, who both wrote extensive essays on archery. I myself was shooting a Slazenger Longbow being amazed I was being out-distanced by said gentleman. I was at an age of the strength of a lion - John came to my rescue, loaning me a longbow of his own manufacture to whit later he said: “It's yours. Pay me when you can.” So at shoots I always paid John's entrance fee (50p in those days, which would equate to £10.00 today). In 1972 John had the inspiration to do Roving Marks - with Fred Lakes tutorage to history and custom and practice thus we met at the George Inn, Leigh Sinton, Worcestershire, and later in Roger Trow’s parent’s pub in a church yard in Blackpole, near Worcester, to formulate Roving Marks. Our first open Finsbury Roving was held at Woodlands Farm, Loxley, in March 1974. John Whitmore, Captain to the Mark, with the following: Roger Trow, Michael Leedham, Brian Hulme, Roger Whitmore, Roy and Beryl Bickerstaffe, Ron Harvey and Ron and Eileen Palmer. When NFAS was founded by Roy and Beryl Bickerstaffe etc, I am pleased to remember the Finsbury Roving Marks were encouraged and insured by the then NFAS and held several shoots every year till the first decade of the 21st century under the umbrella of NFAS. John organised our first meet at Woodlands 6 Farm, Loxley, by the good grace of Joe Elliott. John often recited his adventures whilst serving his National Service in the Army in our colony in British Honduras, South America, later renamed Belize, shooting longbow after alligators/crocodile and other game, and also when on patrol, once making their way to the torrential waterfalls just perfectly portrayed on television. Upon completing his tour of duty he brought the idea of Field Shooting back with him, establishing Severn Valley Yeoman Foresters. John, with his twin brother Roger, were always a joy to shoot with and dispensed a dry wit, pleasing and beneficial. In January 1973 John inspired to re-enactment i.e. Plantagenent Society, practising at Woodland Farm - thence to his first venue at Warwick Castle, having practised - one man at arms had an arrow on a spring lashed to his torso. John shot the recipient, revolved and fell on the ground with the arrow popping up. The St John's ambulance crew ran onto the field thinking he had been shot (what fun!!!) John Whitmore shot at shoots all over the country - of diffuse discipline in all weathers; last but not least at Frankley Bowmen's clout/field shoot in November 2011. John won the Clout and he said to me, I quote: "John, would you mind picking up my arrows, I can't bend these days," to which I concurred happily. John won the Clout and, with myself still shooting the longbow he presented to me all those years ago, he received a Westminster Bodkin with cheers. Little did we know this was the last time we would shoot with 'The Master'.

Torquay Italy Veal Michael Nuts The Birth of the Compound Bow by Derek Scaysbrook IT’S hard to imagine any other single invention that has so impacted any sport like the compound bow has influenced archery. But Holless Wilbur Allen’s new bow design did just that, it revolutionised archery. But the invention didn’t come easily. Holless, a mild mannered Missourian, was frustrated, like many archers, with the low speed of his arrows. He set about trying to increase arrow speed by designing and building different types bows and testing his ideas. First he built a recurve bow, laminated with fiberglass rovings which he bonded to the limb core with epoxy. No luck. He then tried fabricating a long handled bow with very short, extremely recurved limbs to increase arrow speed. Again, with no success. He finally tried shooting a short, lightweight arrow down a track attached to his bow. He had some increase in speed but poor penetration. This testing broke his bow, too! But nothing gave him the speed he was looking for. Wilbur Allen was a tinkerer, and his innovative spirit drove him to while away many hours contemplating a better way of building a bow that would shoot arrows faster. It really comes as no surprise that lightning would strike one evening in 1966. The eureka moment came about while Wilbur was studying his drawings of a pulley bow, designed after reading up on kinetic energy in a physics book borrowed from a neighbour. “What if,” he thought, “I positioned the pulley’s pivot hole off-centre?” That was it! Within two days, Wilbur Allen had built and tested his compound bow. It was crude, even by Allen’s standards – the eccentrics were of wood, the handle of pine boards, limb cores of oak flooring, and welded T-bolts held it together with the help of Elmer’s Glue and epoxy-impregnated fibreglass threads. But, it worked! Allen achieved significant increase in arrow speed over a recurve bow of equal draw weight, relaxation of draw weight at full draw of 15%, and a bow that would shoot lighter arrows than the equivalent recurve. His compound produced impressive performance. Allen filed for a patent on his new bow on 23rd June, 1966. It was granted in 1969. By 1977, there were 100 different models of compound bows available, only 50 recurves. After only eight years in production, two thirds of the bows on the market were compound bows. As Holless experimented with different ways of using the pulleys, he discovered that by using one with an offset axle (eccentrics), he created one of the biggest advantages of compound bows - the let-off. When coupled with a cam shape instead of a round pulley, the draw length, weight and force curve could be changed and improved. After several years of trying, Allen couldn’t find anyone to manufacture his new invention, the compound bow, so Allen began making his own bows, sure in the knowledge that they would catch on. However, when he was making his own compound bows he realized that he had a error in the design, as he kept on stripping the fletching off his arrows. The crossing cables in the centre of the bow were interfering with the arrow's flight. By 1967 Allen had figured out that he needed to add an extra set of ‘idle’ wheels that were mounted at the centre of each limb. These idle wheels were set at 90 degree angles to the limb-tip, and this allowed the cables to now cross to one side of the centre line so that they no longer interfered with the arrows' flight path. With more research, Allen added riser-mounted adjusters so that the archer could use different cable lengths to attain different weights. These adjusters were gear-driven and acted very much like the machine heads for tuning a guitar. Holless Wilbur Allen had laboriously contrived a rather complicated device that performed a relatively simple task – to shoot an arrow faster. Derek Scaysbrook 8 Noticeboard Cumbria Challenge 2012 THE Sunday of the Cumbria Challenge will be at North Lakes Field Archers’ woods at Edenhall, Penrith. As the shoot is not being held at our usual woods, please call me, Dave Fuller, on 07929 251928 for full directions. Alternatively, directions and a map are available on the NFAS website for members with internet access. Those attending the shoot on Saturday will be given directions for Sunday’s shootif required. Directions can also be provided for archers who are camping at Mains Farm, Kirkoswald. Dave Fuller Mid Week Shooting MANY archers shoot on a regular basis at their clubs mid-week. Retirement, shift work and self-employed flexibility seem to be the reason that many enjoy this facility. When asked, most seem keen on the idea of ‘informal friendlies’ at different venues, and many of these ‘mid-week shooters’ seem to like the idea of enjoying field archery on an informal basis – flexible time to start, half day/full day, no pressure to score unless you want to, and the variety that a different course offers. South Wilts, Bath Archers and Cranmore will experiment with this format and each club will manage their own shoots. NFAS current membership essential and club shooting style restrictions apply. The first will be on Wednesday, 16th May at South Wilts (36 Big Game); the second on Wednesday, 13th June at Bath Archers’ Hunstrete Woods (2x 20 Big Game - some extinct! Wooden 10 arrows only); the third at Cranmore on Wednesday, 11th July (36 x mixed 3Ds and Big Game). And the cost? £3 half day, £5 full day. If you wish to attend please email/phone Alan White for South Wilts ([email protected] or tel 07803 571257); and for Bath and Cranmore contact Patrick Hutchinson at [email protected] or tel 07530 804827, so that numbers can be established and appropriate facilities provided. Hopefully this will offer something a little different in a busy field shooting calendar. Patrick Hutchinson Magic Dragon Archers HERE down in sunny Kent we have been working hard to celebrate our first birthday as a club. And what better way to celebrate than to have a shoot. So we would like to invite you all to our first ever shoot. Pre-book and pre-pay is preferred. The reason being that we are newbies at this and would like to have a rough idea of numbers. It helps the catering and stops admin from having a breakdown! The course is fairly flat, and we hope that even though it is a 2 x 20 it will challenge you all. So hopefully we will see you all there on Sunday, 24th June. It is a 10.00am start and we will have catering on site. See you soon... Karen and Gary and all The Dragons walesarchery_ad.pdf 25/11/11 13:01:31 Her Perfect Shot by Moira Hodgkinson LOUISE Winters sighed as she pulled back clumsily yet again, her movements jerky and strained. She could feel the tension in her jaw as she fumbled for an anchor point and tilted her head, nestling her face against the bow string and lining up with the target. Her back and shoulder muscles cried out at the weight of the bow – slightly heavier than she was used shooting. She tried to forget that she was being watched. It was just her and the target. Relax, focus, loose! ‘I’m going to take up fishing,’ she announced as the arrow settled with a loud crack into the tree that was way to the left of the target. Her foot slipped on the muddy track as she walked away, only serving to add to her bad mood. ‘I just can’t hit a thing today.’ Louise lowered her bow and let the rest of the small group walk down to the boss and take scores while she did her best to sulk and pout without actually swearing that she wasn’t playing. Alan, her coach, patted her softly on the back as he passed. ‘You’ll do better at the next one, love,’ he said simply. ‘That’s what you said at the last target,’ Louise replied under her breath and pulled her zip up against the biting cold wind. It wasn’t really fair that her coach was also her father – it made it too easy to get mad at him for not correcting her technique all the time. Barely sixteen, Louise was getting frustrated that she was now expected to compete against adults who’d been shooting ten, fifteen or more years than she had. Her scores hadn’t got worse, her shooting hadn’t declined, but her draw length was longer than it had been just six months ago and her dad had bought her a new, higher poundage bow. Shame she couldn’t hit a thing with it. And not for want of trying either! I just want one perfect shot today she told herself. Is that really too much to ask? Admittedly this was only their fourth target of the day, but if it was any indication of how things would pan out for the rest of the course, perhaps fishing might not be such a bad idea after all. Fishermen had a host of genuine excuses – the fish just aren’t biting today! That 12 boat just scared off all the fish! But nobody could possibly scare off a skinny paper fox that was pinned to a stationary target. The undeniable truth was that she was no good at this sport any more. What was she doing wrong? The new bow really wasn’t to blame, she knew that, but try as she might over the last few weeks, Louise was having no luck at all with it, and this bitter weather wasn’t helping her spirits one little bit. They had spent day after day practising, going right back to basics with her father checking her position, her grip on the bow, adjusting her anchor point, watching her line up shot after shot. She’d not done too badly overall, but not once since getting the new bow had she had that feeling - that feeling where you just know instinctively that everything has come together perfectly, that feeling of serenity and calm – just her and the target and nothing to stand in the way. Making her way round the course with the others Louise found that not even her friend Hannah’s jokes and bawdy laugh could take her mind off the fact that she hadn’t once had that perfect shot in nearly a month of intensive practice. ‘Well done that man. A perfect twenty!’ called Harry to Alan, who was jotting down scores at yet another stupid paper face, the outer line of which Louise had barely scraped to achieve a measly four points. As the foursome walked back to the admin and parking area to break for lunch, Hannah snatched her own score card from Alan and waved it in Louise’s face. ‘See?’ she said, thrilled to see she was a good thirty points ahead for a change. ‘You’ve got such a bug up your behind about leaving that old bow in the closet that even I’m doing better than you today. And everyone knows I’m no good.’ ‘Gee, thanks Hannah.’ Louise narrowed her eyes and bit into a sandwich with a sneer that made her face curl and she bit her tongue. ‘Now look what you did!’ ‘Hey, come on!’ Hannah chided. ‘You can’t blame me for that. Continued on page 14... Continued from page 12 ‘You’re shooting badly because you’re obsessed with your old bow, that’s all. Let it go and chill out. It doesn’t matter how well you do with this one, you’re supposed to do this for fun, remember?’ Traipsing back onto the course seemed like a wasted afternoon to Louise, but maybe Hannah had a point. Back when she’d first been learning to shoot under her father’s watchful guidance, she would have been ecstatic to get her arrows more than a foot away from her, let alone in the inner kill zone. She’d got into archery because her parents were fanatics, but the bug bit her too and she had loved it. Archery had been fun back then. It had been new, exciting, a challenge to do well and show off her new skills to everyone who had ever said a bad word to Louise at school. As she steadily got better and better, the challenge became improving her scores, winning third place or better. ‘I lost it!’ Realisation dawned on her half way around the course - and it was a feeling she didn’t think she would ever forget. ‘Lost what, love?’ Alan asked. He was already at the red peg, one hand poised to pull an arrow from his quiver... until he saw the look on his daughter’s face. He let the arrow drop back in and moved away from the peg without saying a word. Taking a shot when she knew that everyone was watching her wasn’t about to get in her way this time. That strand of hair falling in her face was pushed swiftly behind an ear. The slight breeze seemed to drop and all around her there was silence. In a world completely of her own, Louise wedged her heel tightly to the wooden peg, stared at the target, shifted position for the perfect line. She raised the bow, the leather grip warm against her skin, felt the vibration of the string as she pushed an arrow into place. The tension in her jaw started to mount as she drew back and she let out a soft sigh to loosen up. Line up. Relax into the shot. Focus on the target. Loose! The flight of the arrow was spot on and the reassuring thud as it hit home was perfect. If that wasn’t a twenty she wouldn’t care less. She’d nailed that shot, the feeling of it. ‘Who’s next then?’ Louise smirked confidently. Hannah’s scores at the end of the day were still a good twenty or so points ahead of Louise, 14 but strangely she found that she really wasn’t bothered. ‘You were right, Hannah.’ Louise took down her bow and looked at it as though she’d never seen anything more beautiful or amazing. ‘I’ve really enjoyed it today.’ ‘Thought you were going fishing?’ ‘Fishing?’ She pulled a face. ‘Sitting in one place all day with an empty keep net? I found out something important today.’ Hannah smiled. ‘You found out that you were so worked up about hitting the target exactly where you wanted that you forgot about why we do this?’ ‘Pretty much,’ Louise confirmed. ‘I lost the fun of the sport. I forgot to enjoy it just for the sheer hell of it.’ She took off her wellies and put back on her regular shoes, scraped mud off her jacket and shook rain water out of her hair. ‘And I really do enjoy it!’ ‘Too right,’ Hannah replied. ‘After all, we’d be mad to come out in weather like this otherwise!’ Moira Hodgkinson Committee Noticeboard No 1 Coach Co-ordinator PETE KENDRICK has resigned as Coach Co-ordinator. The Committee would like to thank Pete for all his work in this role. Bernie Britton has kindly agreed to step in and take-on this role. NFAS shoots are NFAS shoots only RECENTLY, some clubs have asked for shoots to be advertised in the NFAS Newsletter and on the website but these shoots have been open to archers who are not members of NFAS. Only NFAS shoots can be advertised in our newsletter and on our website. Having non-NFAS archers shooting means that this is not a NFAS shoot. The involvement of non-NFAS archers voids the insurance of NFAS members and goes against NFAS rules. This may sound bureaucratic but this rule was brought in a number of years ago following a nasty and acrimonious accident involving a non-NFAS archer, because there is no way of knowing the competence of non-NFAS archers. All clubs that advertise shoots in the newsletter and website need to be NFAS registered clubs. The Committee reserves the right not to advertise shoots from clubs that open their shoot to non-NFAS archers and may de-register clubs. Andrew Knott General Secretary Police arrest archer I HAVE been told of an archer who was arrested for carrying a bow, arrows and knife in a public place. The bow was unstrung and he was walking to a farm where he was allowed to practice. However, the equipment was not in a case and attracted the attention of a policeman. He now faces an appearance in court. If the court decides to take a tough line he may face a criminal record and possibly a prison sentence. (It wasn’t long ago that the press was full of stories about mandatory prison sentences for anybody caught carrying an illegal knife.) It made me wonder though about on how many occasions NFAS members are ‘kitted’ up in public areas. At the 3D Champs in the Lake District a couple of years ago, the Committee sought permission from the police for archers to walk to/from courses, but that isn’t always the case. At a two day shoot last year, archers were told in advance that there was going to be a problem with parking, so on the first day I parked in a nearby layby and then walked a couple of hundred yards down the road to the shoot with all my gear on full display. It’s now made me think what would have happened if a police car had driven past. There’s a reasonable chance that a police officer would have been understanding, but no certainty. I’ve heard of several clubs where archers park on local roads, so it is something to mull over if you are in this situation. Andrew Knott General Secretary Membership renewal and helping at shoots NOT everybody renews their membership straight away. This is just to remind you that the new membership year started on 1st April 2012 and unless you have renewed your membership you are not covered by NFAS insurance and cannot take part in shoots. It is also worth reminding people that if you volunteer to assist at a shoot and go out onto the course, you also need up-to-date full or associate membership of NFAS. Otherwise you will not be covered by insurance if an accident does happen as you would not be covered by NFAS Public Liability insurance because of your involvement with the shoot. Indeed, an uninsured ‘course official’ could provide a ‘get out’ for an insurance company if an accident happens to somebody else. Andrew Knott General Secretary Anonymous letters – no ‘Friend’ of mine In the last edition I highlighted that a pathetic individual had been sending me anonymous letters making accusations of cheating in the West Country. All anonymous letters go in the bin, but there have been enough of these letters about the same subject that I wanted to highlight them publicly. The last letter was signed under the false name of ‘AB Friend of South Hams Field Archery Club’. Of course, I have no certainty whether this person really comes from South Hams FAC, but I do know that there is no NFAS member called AB Friend. Since the article came out I have been contacted by Charlie Friend of Herod's Wood Archers, who is very annoyed that this sad individual is using his surname and wanted me to make it clear that he is not the ‘AB Friend’ who has been signing the letters. John Cavill, Chairman of South Hams, has also been in touch to assure me that he has no knowledge of the culprit who is claiming to be from South Hams. Both are rightly upset that somebody is hiding behind a false identify to make accusations. As I have highlighted before, this individual does not have the gumption to put their own name to the accusation or to provide any independent collaboration of the accusation. Simply saying that “everybody knows that A & B are cheats” does not constitute evidence and smacks more of malice. Andrew Knott General Secretary 15 Committee Noticeboard No 2 Committee members wanted Near Hit Report FIELD archery is a sport run entirely by volunteers. Without volunteers giving up their time to run clubs, marshal open shoots and national competitions and contribute to the running of the sport nationally through the NFAS Committee, the sport as we know it would not exist. Volunteers are again sought for the NFAS Committee. Committee members serve terms of three years before facing re-election. This year five Committee members will have served their terms of office: Coach Co-ordinator, General Secretary, Membership Secretary, Newsletter Editor and Safety Advisor. Candidates can propose themselves for any of these positions and, where there is more than one candidate for any role, then we will hold an election. The good news is that we have candidates for three of the five positions because the current incumbents have said that they wish to stand for election again. These are: SOMETHING unusual has happened recently and I have received a flurry of calls and emails regarding an incident that took place during an open shoot. I am very grateful for the level of communication and it has enabled me to really get my teeth stuck in to the incident and look at the contributing factors. I have had contact from a range of people: the archer who shot the arrow, some of his group, more than one member of the group in front and some from the club who were running the shoot. As usual, I keep the names and places to myself – so if you are reading this on the web board then please do the same if you are aware of the circumstances and respect the process. The ‘near hit’ in this case happened when an archer (and the rest of his group) failed to notice that the group in front had not fully cleared the target – they had not yet given the “all clear” signal which was required. The arrow which was shot went over the target and slid along the ground, ending up a few metres from the archers who were not yet clear. From the reports that I have received, there were several contributing factors: • There was a lapse of concentration from the archer. This was also the case for the rest of his group who also did not notice that the group in front were not yet clear. • The shoot had been progressing slowly and the group with the archer who shot the arrow had spent a good deal of time discussing the target whilst they waited for the group in front to shoot, score and move on. This meant that... • ...the warning signs, which they had passed on the way to the pegs, were not fresh in their minds when they were waiting for their turn to shoot. Things to consider: • Always be aware of the group in front and make sure that you can see that the area behind the target is clear before you shoot. • If you are laying a course, consider ensuring that any warning signs are clearly visible from the red peg (or the first peg which might be shot from – eg Wasp). There was another ‘near hit’ reported within the communications, although only indirectly reported. At one point during the shoot an archer returned to a target to retrieve an arrow that they had not collected before moving off from the target. If you forget an arrow at a target then do not return to the target until you see the following group collecting their arrows – it is far better to remain safe and (in the case of an arrow) collect it from the ‘lost arrow point later. It is also possible the following group will bring your lost property to you at the next target. Rob Williams Safety Advisor Newsletter Editor: Carol Flavell Membership Secretary: Richard Dobson Safety Advisor: Rob Williams We will definitely have one vacancy because I am not standing again as General Secretary due to work commitments, and Pete Kendrick has resigned as Coach Co-ordinator. If you do want to put yourself forward for any of these positions, please drop me a quick line or email saying who you are, what position you are interested in and a short summary (no more than 150 words) about why you would make a good Coach Coordinator, General Secretary, Membership Secretary, Newsletter Editor or Safety Advisor. My contact details are on the first page of the newsletter. The details of candidates, along with their summaries, will then be published in the newsletter so that the voting can be carried out on any contested positions ahead of the AGM in November. The results will be announced at the AGM. So if you are interested send me your details and if you want to have a chat with any of the Committee about what each of the roles entail, then please speak or call any of us. Andrew Knott General Secretary 17 Coffee Break The Field Archers’ Horoscope by Moira Hodgkinson THE warmth of early summer brings out the best in everyone, so let’s see what the stars have set out for us in the shoots ahead. Taurus Your luck is on the up, Taurus, and you’re about to see the results of your hard practice and determination pay off with some top quality shooting. Give yourself a pat on the back and relax in the knowledge that things can only get even better from here. Lucky colour: Purple Gemini It’s high time you started paying attention to your fine tuning, Gemini, especially if you want to improve your scores in time for the 3Ds. A minor set-back may be on the cards, but don’t fret because your determination will let nothing will put you off your game. Lucky colour: Blue Cancer Frustration and boredom are setting in as you have spent a lot of time on your own lately. This is not like you at all, so buck up Cancer and get back into the swing of making Sunday shooting your priority. Lucky colour: Orange Leo As always you love being in the lime-light and the sunny weather and your continuing good luck on the courses will make sure your shining scores are well rewarded. Make sure you get a raffle ticket on your next shoot as Lady Luck is heading in your direction. Lucky colour: Red Virgo Whether you changed shooting styles or not as indicated last time, you have been one of your club’s most dedicated members with the amount of practice you’ve been taking on. This will eventually start paying off, bringing 24s that little bit closer. So slog on! Lucky colour: Mauve Libra You will find yourself in new woods with new people over the next two months and thoroughly enjoying the shoots even if the challenge of the champs takes you out of your comfort zone. Paper faces may prove a challenge in May. Lucky colour: Pastel Green 18 Scorpio The full moon in your sign on 6th May means that all your goals are achievable, so instead of the bacon buttie truck, you should be at the practice grounds refining your skills as often as possible. The inner kill is waiting for you. Lucky colour: Black Sagittarius Have you got one of those huge fancy hip quivers with forty pockets? It’s full of snacks and chocolates, isn’t it? What a good job your shooting companions appreciate your generous nature and that there are a few long walk-backs to keep you in shape. Lucky colour: Beige Capricorn Lady Capricorns are having a lot of luck as they stroll the courses and the gentlemen goats are not far behind. Good shooting and sunny weather makes you happy enough, and when you snag a bargain piece of equipment on eBay your spirits are set to soar. Lucky colour: Lilac Aquarius Your instincts and skills are letting you down but don’t let it bother you as you will soon be back on form. Think of it as a chance to let others take the trophy for a change. Lucky colour: Turquoise Pisces You have been taking far too much time organising your archery supplies that it’s making you late for the shoots! Does it really matter if you take your brown finger tab or the black one? You know what the bare essentials are so don’t load up with gizmos and accessories that you hardly ever use anyway. Lucky colour: Neon Pink Aries You know that practice makes perfect as you have shown some improvement in your shooting technique, but don’t let it rush to your head. Keep your feet on the ground with a hot brew at the tea tent and a mate to remind you that whatever the outcome, you do this for fun! Lucky colour: Pale Yellow National Field Archery Society Stock list 19 ARCHERY IN THE MOVIES No 22 "FLAME AND THE ARROW" WARNER BROS (1950 USA) Starring: Burt Lancaster (Dardo Bartoli), Virginia Mayo (Anne de Hesse), Nick Cravat (Piccolo) Director: Jacques Tourneur THIS is a swashbuckler in the best Hollywood tradition. It is 12th Century Lombardy and a young archer, Dardo Bartoli (Lancaster), is compelled to join the rebels fighting the dastardly Count Ulrich after his wife has been killed and his son is taken by the bad guys. Nick Cravat, who plays Piccolo, was an acrobat who was teamed with Lancaster before Lancaster became a star. He appears in many of Lancaster's movies. In this one, he plays a mute. The reason was that his thick Brooklyn accent, which he could not lose, would have been wildly out of place in such a period piece. The glamorous Virginia Mayo plays the love interest and after a lot of ‘swashbuckling’ Dardo reunites with his captured son, marries Miss Mayo and everyone leaves the cinema fully entertained. The movie got two Oscar nominations – Cinematography and musical score (Max Steiner).

melted and a good day’s shooting was had by all. A mistake was made in the Longbow scoring when one of the card scorers transposed numbers of one of the scores, giving an archer a higher score. The other scores were re-checked and were correct.

Although very cold in certain parts of the wood, namely the field side, a good day was had by all on our course, which was set out by Richard Groves and David Alan. All the archers shot and dispatched the targets with very few losses, helped on the way with plenty of hot food and drinks. So thank you Wendy and the two lads who once again stepped in to help when Wendy had to go home early. Thank you to all the archers who supported our club’s shoot and we hope you can all make it back for our Master Archer shoot on 20th May, which will consist of 36 3Ds.

It was a rewarding day for archers who attended on this warm day, so a very big 'Thank You' from all our members and especially myself, Elaine Hunt. This venue was used for the very first NFAS open shoot and 40 years later, we are still up and running. Our door is open to more challenges and, hopefully, happy archers. 31 HUNTING TACKLE Gents R Hand Paget de Vesey A Healey Forest of Arden L Chuck Duvelle Ladies L Nichols Paget de Vesey J Morgan Forest of Arden U16 Boys R Mellor Lyme Valley P Messon Artemis U12 Girls M Hall Oakridge BAREBOW Gents R Martin S Parsons J Smith Ladies M Griffiths U16 Boys A Bibby U12 Boys J Whitty U12 Girls N Hood CROSSBOW Gents C Aston M Williams 594 538 530 434 420 398 292 318 Severn Valley Severn Valley Hanson 632 614 592 Paget de Vesey 344 Ye Olde Delph 416 Artemis 388 Lyme Valley 500 Ind Cheshire Oak 776 722 LONGBOW Gents K Adams M Tarbuck D Wood Ladies L Derbyshire K Hodgkinson U16 Boys A Hopwell Spirit of Sherwood 502 Robin Hood 470 Robin Hood 450 South Cheshire Artemis 440 406 Charnwood 352 If you are attending shoots, marshalling on course or walking a course as a guardian or otherwise, you MUST have renewed your membership!

We extended the planned 1 x 36 shoot to 1 x 40 to cater for the numbers who had pre-booked, making this a record turnout. On the day our visitors shot an approximate 50/50 split of paper faces, 3Ds and a couple of 2Ds. Brian Pickles’ full size 3D Kodiak Bear made its fourth appearance, this time shot over the weir at well over 40 yards. Our 7ft high by 3ft wide Shrek face was repaired for the day to help keep the children happy - both young and old! We are pleased to report that there were no major problems and everyone appeared to enjoy themselves. Thanks go to all our members who helped, in particular special thanks to our juniors, Callum Harrison and Rebecca Greenfield, who worked very hard all day while their parents helped in catering and admin. Finally, our thanks once again to all you archers without whose help in clearing the course after the shoot would made our job very hard indeed.

Behind me, Mike called out and waved across the clearing to where another group was just heading out to start the next circuit. “That was my lad. His first champs…” I didn’t catch the rest, but you could hear the pride. I’d not met Mike before, but I certainly heard all about his son as we shot the second half. Like the first time he touched a bow, aged three. Mike had been in his garage and the kid had come wandering in, heading straight for the bow in the press. Thinking about little fingers getting caught in cams and a sticky face poking into the sight, Mike said he’d yelled so loudly his son cried. To make it up, Mike had bought the kid a bow of his own, bright green plastic, with three yellow sucker arrows. This time, it was Mike’s wife that yelled and the pair of them were bundled into the garden. Target 25: steep downhill to a standing bear. That started Mike off on another story about his son’s first 3D shoot, aged five, with his new bow, the same height as him. This was long before orange pegs, so the arrows kept hitting the ground, but Mike said the kid never gave up and kept trying until, on the last target, he managed to hit a standing bear. Then came the day’s only tears, because he wanted to take it home. I was delighted to finish with twenty-four on a sneaky pheasant. After handshakes and thanks, I got my scorecard back and was pleasantly surprised. I knew I had been having a good day, but with conversation and focusing on scoring someone else’s cards, I hadn’t thought about my own total. I calculated carefully. Overnight, I had been in second by eight points (though one of the juniors was nearly fifty points ahead of all of us). This might be enough. We emerged from the woods back at the tea stop, to start the final walk down the track. Cards in, boots off and gear back in the car. Mike was having a word with admin, then gave me a wave. A few people asked me if I’d had a good day, ‘not bad, not bad’. Found out a couple of other scores, and, so far, I’m still ahead. I can’t stop watching the admin cabin, waiting for someone to emerge with sheets of paper. Here we go. Third – yes, I’m well ahead of that. Second? What? But that’s me. But who…? I shook hands with him of course. He’s the same height as me. Turns out Mike had put his son down as a junior on the entry form because his 16th birthday was only last week and then had to dash to admin to change it. He’d been shooting red pegs for two years apparently. Still, I’ll get him next year, because by then he’ll have discovered girls!
