LONGBOW
DOMINIC TRIUMPHS
..as a papingo takes a tumble!
I
t’s been a cracking year for longbow
archer Dominic McCarthy – but not so
good for a papingo at the top of the
Abbey Tower in Kilwinning, Scotland.
It was knocked off its perch by Dominic, of
Dunmurry, Belfast, who is a member of
City of Belfast Archers. But don’t worry. No
animals were actually harmed.The
papingo is a popinjay-shaped target
placed at the top of the tower and it is all
part of a competition called Dinging
Doun the Doo, which dates back to 1483.
It involves standing with one foot on the
abbey step and shooting straight up at
the papingo which is on a horizontal pole
sticking out three metres (10ft) and is 35
metres (116ft) up.
Dominic said:“It's nicknamed the
hardest shot in archery. I can’t believe I
did it! I have had a lot of luck this
season – and am very thankful for it.”
He also took the individual title at the
Celtic Championships at Kilwinning, as
part of the British Longbow Society Ireland
team that took the Ailsa Trophy.
Other wins this year include the senior
men’s longbow title at the Irish
Championships, the Irish Open and the
Northern Ireland Clout Championship.
Dominic only began shooting three
years ago. So what got him started? “It
allows me to spend time with my son who,
like so many other archers, got me into it
in the first place. It gets me out to some of
the most beautiful venues in Northern
Ireland and beyond.
“It gives me the chance to meet people
from diverse backgrounds who all share
the same passion – drawing an arrow,
loading it on to the string and feeling the
power of the bow as you pull back, the
arrow striking the centre of the target.
“It doesn’t happen with every arrow, but
when it does, it’s like magic.”
And why longbow? “I’m fascinated by
the world of the ’bent stick.’ I am very
lucky because it is not that expensive to
buy your dream longbow.
“At the moment, I have two. One is an
osage backed with hickory made by a
local bowyer, Charlie Harvey and the
other is a snakewood backed with
bamboo made by Adrian Hayes.
“The arrows are bespoke: cedarwood
made by John Fairfield for the osage and
Little John hand-made barrelled pine by
John Catley for the snakewood.
“That bow is extremely fast and casts the
arrow on a much flatter plane.This,
combined with the Little John arrows which
are very light, allow me to use this bow for
long-distance shooting. I use the osage
bow for short distances and indoors.” G

BULLDOZERS MOVE IN...
Competition axed as field is ripped up
W
hen you spend four hours
marking out a tournament
field, the last thing you
expect when you turn up the
next day is to see bulldozers ripping it up.
But that is what happened to Havering
Disabled Sports Association and Broxhill
Archers Juniors just three days before
the South East England Disability
Archery Competition.
The clubs use the Boxhill Centre in
Harold Hill, Essex.They knew that the site,
which has two sports halls, tennis courts
and a bowls club as well as a large field,
was being redeveloped and that part of
the work involved levelling the field and
installing drainage systems.
They did, however, think that
they were clear to go ahead with
the championships.
Two weeks before they were due to
start, members arrived to find ploughing
up the site, ready for drainage works to
begin.After long negotiations, they
managed to secure a stay of execution –
at least until the competition was over.
So, with a few days left to go, Club
Chairman Dave Wiltshire dutifully marked
out the field. When he turned up the next
day, the bulldozers had moved in.The
competition had to be cancelled.
“The council did say sorry,” said Club
Chairman and coach David Wiltshire. It
has promised to leave us be at the
moment and to provide facilities when
the redevelopment is done.
“But that did not prevent a load of
steaming manure about the size of a
tennis pitch being dumped on the car
park the other day...” G

An added twist...
When Peter Brook loosed an unfletched
arrow several things could have
happened. He would be the first to admit
it was not the greatest shot – but the last
thing he expected was for it to wrap itself
around the target leg and for the pile to
drive right through the shaft.The incident,
at Chantry Bowmen of Rotherham’s base,
has left members scratching their heads.
And Peter? He has promised to take a bit
more care next time! G
Very special people!
Two very special awards have been
made by Hertford Company of Archers –
and one of them was a real case of
keeping things in the family!
President Mick Papworth presented the
club’s Achievement Award to his
granddaughter, Archery GB squad
member Rebecca Blewitt,
during its 40th AGM. It is the
second time Rebecca has
won the award. And it is
becoming a bit of a
family tradition. Mick won
the award in 1973 and
Rebecca’s mum has
also won it twice
The other award, the
limited edition
President’s Medal issued
to mark the society’s
150th anniversary, went to
Jeanne Spooner. She was
praised for her tireless
efforts to keep the club
running smoothly and
outstanding contribution. G

Perth packs a punch
Perth Archery Club is relatively new – set up in 2010 – but it packs
quite a punch. It has 50 members, a 25 strong junior club and more
than 100 on beginners courses.
Successful indoor and outdoor championships at both junior
and senior levels and the introduction of summer and winter
leagues keep everyone busy.The club is determined to keep it
that way, making sure that archers of all ages can take part in
regular competitions.
The club, which was set up by Douglas Bentley and
Pauline Leitch, has received support from Perth and
Kinross Council Sports Development Department
as well as Scottish Archery and Archery GB.
It has also received backing from the
Gannochy Trust. It provides safe
outdoor shooting facilities at Doo'cot
Park in the summer and its support
has been recognised by the
introduction of the Gannochy
Quaich trophy at Senior
Outdoor Championships.
Members can also shoot for
the Ayton Cup, given by the
Lord Mayor of London. G
ARCHERY UK • WINTER 2013
FULL SPEED AHEAD!
I
t’s all go at
Durham City
Archers! The club,
which has 104
members, can also
boast four Master
Bowmen, 20 county
records and an
enviable charity
fundraising record.
The four Master
Bowmen are Lloyd Pattison, Jane Taylor, Deirdre Pattison and
Julie Ryan.They have all represented Durham and
Northumberland Archery Association as part of the county
squad at inter-county tournaments and Julie is Archery GB’s
Director of Development.
Jane came sixth overall in the Archery GB National Series
and appeared on the podium at two of the stages, coming
second at Stage 3 and third at Stage 4. Deirdre has picked
up her first pro sponsor and is working towards shooting
internationally for her native Ireland.
The club, which was set up 15 years ago, has just moved to a
new outdoor venue and its indoor base has been renovated. It
has also hosted charity events and marathon shoots over the
past few years, raising more than £4,000 for Sports Relief and
other charities, and is looking forward to further strengthening
its links with the community. G
Pedal power raises £10,000
Give yourselves a round of applause.That’s the message from
Nicky Hunt who, along with Glen Croft and three others, has
raised more than £10,000 for charity using only pedal power.
Nicky, Glen and three others completed a five-day bike ride
from Ipswich to the Eiffel Tower in Paris to boost the coffers of
4YP, a charity that helps young people.
She said “The archery community has been absolutely
fantastic in supporting Glen and myself in this challenge. Of
the £10,277 total, I think archers raised well above £1,000.
“You have all been so generous and we
really cannot thank you enough.”

A LANDMARK EVENT
Arthur Credland is Archery GB’s official historian – and he wants to hear from you.
Contact him at [email protected]. In this issue he looks back to 1971
T
he 26th World Championships held
at Knavesmire,York, in 1971 was a
seminal event in the development
of modern target archery.
It was a landmark because it was held on
the site where, in 1844, the first Grand
National Archery Meeting had been held,
FITA (now World Archery) was celebrating
40 years and York was celebrating the
1,900 anniversary of its foundation.
It was also widely regarded as a test run
for the 1972 Munich Olympics and the
return of archery to the Games after an
absence of more than 50 years. It was
organised on behalf of FITA, which was
headed by Chairman Inger Frith and
Secretary General Douglas Thompson,
ably assisted by GNAS secretary JJ Bray.
It was also a fitting venue because the
name York is derived from the Latin
Eboracum, which itself derives from a
Celtic form which means “place of the
yews.”Yorkshire was also the birthplace of
Roger Ascham, author of Toxophilus, and
the “father” of recreational archery and is
the home of the oldest archery
competition, the Ancient Scorton Arrow,
which has been shot for in and around
Yorkshire since 1673.
One of the innovations was the
introduction of a German-produced
timing device being tested ahead of the
Olympics. It worked well until it was
swamped by a rainstorm on the very last
day! The Simon Archery Foundation,
based at the Manchester Museum
sponsored an exhibition entitled The
Archer, at the University of York and the
Archer-Antiquaries took the opportunity
of advertising its activities, distributing
trilingual pamphlets.
The Great Britain team members were:
Pauline Edwards, Barbara A. Strickland,
Sandra Simester, Lynne A.Thomas, Ronald
P. Bishop, Edward G. Gamble, Richard C.
Hemming and Roy D. Matthews.They
made a great start but then faded to take
fourth place in both the men’s and
Twin passions
W
hat do you get when you combine two passions?
If you are Maurice Roe, you get a topiary archer!
Maurice, of Spalding, Lincolnshire, once held an East
Midlands Championship title and was invited to take
part in trials for the England team.
But life intervened and he gave up archery until he
retired and his son persuaded him to join the Silver Spoon
Bowmen of Spalding. Now he has two passions – archery
and topiary – and this is the result! G
women’s events.The men’s title went to
American John C Williams and the
women’s to Moscow engineer Emma
Gapchenko who, like all the Russians, was
using a British-made bow.
A non-challenge award, the Queen’s
Trophy, was given by Her Majesty, patron
of the event. It was presented by Inger
Frith to the women’s champion. G

A NEW STRATEGY
Involving members is key to keeping them
M
ore and more people are flocking to
archery. But the big question is: how do
we keep them in the sport? Like many
other clubs,Andover Archers’
membership has been boosted by the
upsurge in interest in the sport.Around 120
people visited its 2012 Big Weekend event –
and 70 of them signed up for its waiting list.
Extra beginners’ courses were set up to
meet the demand and, of the original 70,
60 joined the club.
The next challenge was to keep them, so
Andover Archers set up a development
group headed by Brian Dickerson and
tasked with integrating the new archers and
supporting their aspirations.
The result has been a series of “how to”
sessions on fletching, bow tuning and
maintenance, all geared to build new
members’ skills and make them part of
the family.They culminated in a novice
shoot, which was set up to give them a
taste of what it is like to compete in a
real tournament.
Development group member Rob
Welfare said:“Although it’s too soon to be
completely assured of success, the club has
been invigorated by the new blood and early
indications would suggest it will result in far
greater retention.The strategy will now be used as
a blueprint following future beginners’ courses.” G
Hello, what’s
going on here?
C
astle Bowmen has some very
determined archers. It must
have – just look what they did to
the centre of this boss.
Equipment officer Mike Willcocks said:
“I've seen the gold rings shot out from
target faces before, but never the centre
of the boss! Or maybe I'm just slacking
with my responsibilities?
“We knew the boss was starting to get a
bit on the soft side but had not realised
quite how soft until a group of our newer
archers managed to achieve this.
“As equipment officer I have suggested to
the committee that we need a poorer
standard of archers in the club to ensure
we get our money’s worth from the
bosses in future...” G

TRY,TRY,TRY AGAIN!
Barnstaple Archer Paulette Mills spent last
year plagued with equipment failure but
vowed to battle back – even though she
was achieving Bowman scores.
She has, and Paulette took her score from
Bowman to Grand Master Bowmen in the
space of three shoots.
Her first Master Bowman score came at
a Salisbury FITA and, via the Exmouth
Double FITA Star and the Somerset
Championships and Dunster FITA, she
managed to achieve her Master Bowman
and GMB scores.
Along the way she has also broken
county records, gained a six-gold end,
1,100 and 1,200 FITA Stars and, with Estelle
Edwick and Zena Barker, was part of the
Devon and Cornwall Archery Society
team that won the first National Intercounties Tournament at Lilleshall.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Chris Keate’s 11 Robin Hoods, Daniel Coffey, James Aitchison’s arrows and Tommy Kinsella with Chris Williams
GOOD GROUPING IS IMPORTANT...
Robin Hoods are a fantastic achievement. Or, from the other viewpoint, they can be very costly.
So spare a thought for Chris Keate of Aim Archery of Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex. He has been
left counting the cost of 11 – yes 11 – Robin Hoods in the last year.
D
aniel Coffey started his archery career with a bang. Or a
Robin Hood to be exact. He was at only his third training
session with Scarborough Archers when his second
arrow smashed the nock off his first, split the shaft and
peeled the shaft back like a banana skin.
Colin Greenway of the rapidly growing Scarborough Archers
sent in the picture with the comment;“Nay, nay lad, tha’s got it
wrong. When we said good grouping is important we meant side
by side, not stacked!”
It has taken James Aitchison of Killingworth Archers four years
of shooting and a switch to compound but he’s done it too.
“I’m absolutely chuffed with it,” he said.
Tommy Kinsella of Hampstead Bowmen got his first Robin Hood
at a Hillingdon Archery Club competition and his “victim,”
Hillingdon’s Chris Williams even managed to smile about his
damaged arrow!
It was Robin Hood number two for Alan Goodsman, Club
Secretary at Holdens Archers, Brentwood, Essex. He missed the
gold but could not avoid Club Chairman Derek Crane’s arrow.
And when Denis Berrelly pulled his arrow from the target at
Kingston Archery Club it came out embedded into a longbow pile
– the second time that had happened at the club in a year! G
In with the new!
W
ork has been in progress at Aire
Valley Archers near Bingley.The aim?
To make life easier for wheelchair archers.
The club has spent some of the money
raised over recent years on creating a
wheelchair-friendly shooting line, replacing
old flagstone platforms with a wide,
hardcore path and 10 flat shooting stands.
Club secretary Adam Roe said;“We are
really happy. It has given the grounds a
real facelift and we are really pleased to
finally be able to welcome archers of all
abilities to the club – whether they are
able bodied or rely on wheelchairs or
walking aids to get around. Our club is
going from strength to strength and we
hope to continue our improvements by
installing a new wheelchair-friendly eco
loo within the next few months.”
It was all ready just in time for the club’s
Big Weekend celebrations during which
people of all abilities shot almost 2,500
arrows.And the celebrations continued
with a Back End Western and barbecue
attended by more than 40 members. G

Happy anniversary
Eccles Archery Club turns 60
S
ixty years ago a group of
determined archers was
busy setting up a new
club and hoping that it
would succeed.
Now members of Eccles Archery
Club are looking back with pride
at all its achievements as it
celebrates its diamond jubilee.
It’s been a particularly big year for
Chairman Les Williamson. He joined
just after the club’s formation and
has seen it grow to 120 members,
including two Grand Master
Bowmen, who meet in a wooden
clubhouse that saw service during
the Second World War.
They marked the anniversary
with food and a special cake at
the club championships and are
now busy thinking about
centenary celebrations! G
very organisation has to
ensure that it has
everything in place to
ensure it is effective
and governance plays a
key role in this.We have
a strategic plan in
place, are refining our
business plan and
regularly review
policies and risk to
ensure we are effective.
Independent reviews
have confirmed Archery
GB’s effectiveness but made
some recommendations about
how the Board should operate in
future.As part of this review we have held a
series of meetings around the country where members were
asked how they thought the Board should look in three areas:
independent directors, membership representation and the skill
areas Board directors should cover.We welcome feedback on
this and you can find more information at
archerygb.org/governance.
Membership numbers have risen significantly and now
stand at more than 43,000. My congratulations and thanks to
clubs, coaches and officials for all they have done and
continue to do to build and retain the membership.
We have enjoyed some first class international results
recently, particularly from our para archers.While these are
welcome and reflect the increasing capacity within
Performance, we are operating in an ever-changing and
challenging environment, as demonstrated by changes to
para archery classifications, and we do need to continue
to build our ability to develop and train archers who will
be able to represent Great Britain in the coming years.
We do, however, continue to wield influence at
international level and this has been bolstered by the
success of Archery GB nominees at the World
Archery Congress in Belek. Hilda Gibson has been
appointed to its Finance and Audit Board while
Helen George joins the Para Archery
Committee and Jon Shales was
re-elected to the Technical Committee.
There is plenty to look forward to, including
the European Archery Festival in January as
well as, potentially, the European
Championships in 2016. Meanwhile,
thank you to all staff and members for
making this a very successful 2013
and let's hope it continues next year.

THEY WON’T BREAK US
Raid-hit archers vow to battle back
D
evastated archers have vowed
to battle back after thieves
ransacked the club’s
storage compound and
stole all its equipment.
The raiders who hit the Archers Of
Bridlington and Burton Agnes got away
with gear worth around £11,000 –
including all the bows and arrows the
club uses for beginners courses, school
visits and taster sessions.
“But they won’t break us,” said a club
spokesman.“The insurance company has
been great and we are off to the suppliers
to get enough gear to tide us over until
we can sort everything out.
“The heartbreaking thing was that we
were one week into a beginners’ course. It
was awful having to ring everybody up,
tell them about the raid and give them
the option of having their money back or
waiting to see what happened.
“It’s a credit to them that they all
decided to wait – and and we were
in a position to restart the course
on 10 November.”
The haul included 60 bows and it is
thought the raiders forced a metal
shutter from a pane of glass to smash
their way in.
Pete Rollin, the club’s equipment officer
and a former chairman, said:“It was a very
secure metal container, but they forced
their way in and really went to town.
“They took bows, arrows, quivers, finger
tabs and arm guards, all the stuff we use
for school visits and our have-a-go days
for the public.They cleaned us out.
“We are insured but it feels like when
your house gets burgled and all you can
think of is ‘why me?’”
There have been other raids this year, so
what measures can clubs take?
The advice is simple: listen to your
insurers. Archery GB cover does not
extend to equipment that is being
stored, or storage facilities. So the first
step is to ensure the club has
adequate insurance cover. The second
is to listen to – and implement – the
security advice given by your insurer.
The thing is to make sure every member
knows the importance of security and
takes all necessary precautions. G

IS IT ARCHERY OR ART?
W
ell sometimes it’s both, as
members of the Roe Valley
Archery Club in Limavady
found out when approached
by organisers of the Stendhal Arts Festival.
They challenged the club to produce
something for the festival and the idea of
archery art was born.All it took was a little
ingenuity and a piece of MDF with a
broken limb, some fletches and old
target faces stuck to it.
The art came from a specially
designed balloon hanger – and what it
helped to create. Balloons containing
water-soluble paint were hung over the
MDF “canvas” and in front of a target
and, when they were hit by arrows, the
paint spattered all over it.
The archers who contributed to
creating the artwork were: Simon
Mulholland, Sam Forson, Chris Warburton,
Peter McCool, Leon McBrearty, Olivia
Goodman, Hollie O’Neill, Marie
McCartney and Michael Mullan. G

SIX YEARS OLD...
...and Seren is already a record breaker!
S
ix-year-old Seren Holliday might be
little – but she is wowing all her
clubmates at Dyfed Archers. When she
turned up for a beginners’ course at the
club in Fishguard, Wales, the coach did
not quite know what to do because the
smallest, lightest bow still touched the floor
when she held it. So members improvised
a platform, popped her on it – and she
has been shooting ever since.
Club Secretary Sian Richardson said:“At
first the cute factor overshadowed any
archery skills we might have seen but now
we don’t see cute as much as we see a
genuinely good archer.
“We accepted her on the proviso her
parents were with her and she was able
to follow the safety rules. Her grandfather
joined too and is not a bad archer
himself – but Seren is wowing us all.
“She is obviously a bright little girl and
very confident but with two Dyfed records
already under her belt we are all
encouraging her to keep shooting and
are enjoying spending our Sunday
shooting sessions with her in Fort Archers.
“She turned up rain or shine
throughout the outdoor season and
competed in high winds a few weeks
ago in our last outdoor competition.
She never batted an eyelid.
The club has also gained sponsorship
from two local companies which allows it
to give its archers new shirts every year. G
Jose Mourinho. Probably not an archer I
know but please bear with me. Even the
self-styled Special One would (possibly)
admit that he was no great shakes as a
player. But he took his coaching
qualifications and, whatever your
allegiance, you have to admit he’s done
quite well since.
And that’s the point. Because – and as
a northern lass it pains me to say this –
he is an inspiration.Why? Because it
proves that you don’t have to be the
world’s greatest athlete to be a good
coach.Which comes as a bit of a relief.
Nobody could ever describe me as a
great archer – although I am improving.
But I have become a level 1 coach.
Why? The trite reason is that, more
than once, I unexpectedly found myself
“coaching” at taster sessions and felt
totally out of my depth.The real reason,
though, is much simpler, totally selfish
and something thousands of you have
already experienced.
Seeing the smile on somebody’s face
as they shoot their first arrows is fantastic.
Seeing that smile widen to a grin as the
arrows hit the target, and knowing
you helped them to achieve that. It’s
just addictive.
Coaching is not for everyone.A few
months ago it wasn’t for me. But things
change and with more people than
ever coming into archery and needing
coaches, it’s worth thinking about.
Another plus is that it improves your
shooting – which will be great if I ever
get time to do it!

Obituary
RCA takes Greater Manchester title
Colin Bowes
ochdale Company of Archers has
won the Greater Manchester Sports
Club of the Year award.
RCA, which has been Rochdale’s
Club of the Year for three years running,
beat off competition from the county’s
nine other districts to take the prize.
It was presented to Club President
Martin Coward by swimming legend
Rebecca Adlington. He said:“I’m
overwhelmed. We were up against some
fantastic clubs and the GreaterSport
Members of Panda Bowmen, Leeds,
are mourning the passing of Club
President Colin Bowes.
Club Secretary Barbara Skinner said:
“Sadly we will no longer hear the
familiar cry of ‘Up the Panda’ at the
end of shoots.
“Colin touched the lives of all he
met. He coached many of the older
members and gave help and advice
to all throughout a 40-year archery
career during which he shot recurve,
longbow and compound.
“His hearing was going and his
memory for names meant that
everyone was called ‘flower.’ He liked to
be the last to pay his subs, so we
made him a life member so he
wouldn’t have to pay at all! He was a
dear friend and will be sorely missed.”

award, plus being Rochdale’s club
of the year for a third time, shows we
are on the right lines and we are trying
to improve every year.”
Junior Committee Chairman Helen
Woodcock was also nominated for
Coach of the Year after taking the
Rochdale award.
It is awards season in Lancashire too.
Mel and Tony Hoe from Nethermoss
Archers attended the annual Lancashire
Sports Awards after being named West
Lancashire Adult Volunteers of the Year
2013.They did not win but they did
receive a Manchester United

Tony said,“it was a good
feeling beating the
ubiquitous football clubs
and to let people of
Lancashire know there
are alternative sports
such as archery”.

THERE GOES
ANOTHER ONE!
Meet Ray, the records officer’s nightmare
W
hen Dave Shaw took over as
records officer at the
Bowmen of Chesterfield he
should have known what lay
ahead. Particularly after one member
innocently asked for details of all its
longbow records.
He then spent most of his time
posting and reposting new records as
they tumbled until, mid-summer, he put
his foot down and refused to post any
more until the season’s end.
The culprit? Ray Sharpe who set 11 new
club records between the end of May
and the middle of August.
Ray took up archery after a holiday in
Cyprus.“Even then his killer streak was
obvious,” said Dave.“He won the hotel
competition in the second week there.”
He mainly shot recurve until three years
ago, when he sustained a shoulder injury.
This summer, he decided to concentrate
on longbow but felt he needed a
challenge.That’s when he spoke to Dave.
The momentum started to build when
he beat his own Short National record
by 146. A few days later there was
a new record for a Warwick
round, quickly followed by a
Short Warwick. Three more
fell in seven days and
he beat his own new
Western record only
52 days after setting
it. He now holds more
than half the club’s
longbow records, with
only those at longer
distances eluding him.
And even that is not his fault. The club
has moved to a new ground and is
limited to 70 metres at the moment.
Dave said:“He is having to wait until the
shooting field is extended, which
should be later this year.At least it’s
giving me more time to stock up on
paper and printer ink!” G

New state-of-the-art home
L
asswade Archery Club is making
itself comfortable in its brand new
home in a state of the art sports
centre. The club, which had been
using the Lasswade High Sports centre for
36 years, was forced to find temporary
accommodation when it closed so that
the new complex could be built. So it put
most of its equipment into storage and
spent the summer shooting at the Scottish
Mining Museum in nearby Newtongrange.
It moved into the new complex just in
time for its Combined FITA event – and
members are very impressed.
Founder member Derek Sangster said:
“During the Combined FITA event we
received many very favourable comments
regarding the lighting, space and overall
ambiance of the sports hall. Our record
status indoor competitions now have a
bright future in facilities of the highest
standard and we are looking forward
to further long association with the
new complex.
“The only downside has been that we
have had to seek an alternative outdoor
range. However, we have now done this
and we look forward to this change in
2014 when we will be able to shoot
outdoors again.” G

ARCHERY’S GOOD FOR MATHS
AND IT’S GOOD FUN TOO
Eleven-year-old Abbie Mason loves archery –
and she wants everyone to know why!
This is her story:
I started doing archery in October 2011 after I attended
an introduction to archery course run by Hillingdon
Archery Club during the half term week. I really enjoyed
it so I decided to take it up.
In the beginning I used club equipment, but now I have
my own bow and equipment. I have really improved over
the last year.Archery is a great sport to get in to. It
teaches you to be patient and improves your maths.
I have attended several competitions and I have won
eight medals and four trophies so far. My favourite shoot is
the Worcester league.This year we are doing frostbite, which I
am taking part in. On our first one it rained really hard and I got
soaking wet, but it was fun.
My greatest achievement was when I won the junior team event
trophy at the GOA shoot. I enjoy being a part of Hillingdon and I look
forward to attending every week because it is a friendly club.

Kathryn Bolton is 11, took up archery two years ago and set a new national
barebow record the first time she shot for Hampshire. Not bad going!
It happened in a county match against Sussex and Kathryn, a
member of Waterside Archers, shot 1,126 in a Bristol 5, beating the old
record by 108 points.
And Kathryn is sure of one thing – for her, barebow is the only way to go.
She is looking forward to the Barebow Indoor Championships and the
Junior National Indoor Championships and has managed to add more
records to her total. She now holds the UK record for the under 14s and
under 12s junior women’s short Junior Western and the Hampshire record
for the Short Junior Windsor.

facts and stories.
He says that throughout the 14th century, there was a national effort
to supply good English archers for military campaigns – and all the
equipment they needed. It is said that in one year, the Tower of London
received 20,000 bows, 850,000 arrows and 50,000 bowstrings,And the

resulted in two second-place team trophies.
“Not so long ago that was just a dream”,
he said.“Juniors now get an individual
journal to record their knowledge and
growth in the sport.And they work with club

Arrows that go bump…
What do you get when Gandalf the Grey meets priests, knights,
zombies and werewolves? Spookily enough, you get a
shockingly good night of fun!
Gandalf – also known as club coach Geoff Beeston – was
firmly in control at the Bowmen of Charnwood’s Hallowe’en shoot.
This year it was a team event and a new set of rules was
devised. But it came with a twist. Points were scored for shots
on target. Higher points were awarded, depending on the
difficulty of the shot but points were deducted for hitting
the wrong targets.
Paul Rowley, treasurer of the junior section, said:“Each year we
look forward to the Hallowe’en shoot because it gives our junior
members a break from indoor league shoots and progress
awards. But deep down I think the senior members look forward
to this one too...”
Gandalf was on hand with his magic staff to help anyone in
need of some wizardry to improve their shooting.And the winners
were: Chris Evans,Terri Noone, Jay Glenn and Fred Searl.
New Gear
BowBlade
In the last issue we asked archers who love gaming to tell us why they
should review the BowBlade. John Batt was picked - and this is what
he thought:
When I first pulled the BowBlade out of the box I was slightly dubious. Its
stylus assembly was disassembled, its design was pretty industrial and, after
doing the typical man thing of ignoring the instructions, I was not
impressed. However after a sharp slap over the head from my wife I had a
good read, set the BowBlade up correctly and downloaded some
recommended apps.
It’s brilliant. It feels just like a light training bow. I
am able to get to full draw and activate the stylus
by using correct technique (there is a trigger
option for less experienced or non-archers).
Some of the apps worked really well with the
BowBlade.You could easily use this as
part of your bow arm training routine.
The set-up is a bit of a faff but once it’s
done, it’s done. It can be used as training
equipment because it is quite light and the
draw weight is fairly low.That makes it great
for new or young archers, or anyone
recovering from injury.
BowBlade costs around £50 and is available
from www.bowbladegaming.com

Ideas to help clubs increase participation
WORDS:Arran Coggan
Higher
retention or
more members
Increase
in club funds
Potential
for funding
Increased
coaching for
existing
members
O
ne of the key elements of
Archery GB’s work for the next
four years is getting more
adults involved in the sport.
London 2012 and the dedication of
clubs and coaches up and down the
country has seen membership hit an
all-time high. But the national retention
rate is around 65 per cent – which
means up to 15,000 archers could leave
the sport this year to be replaced by
15,000 new ones.
What if we could keep some of these
lapsed members? Changes in lifestyle,
sport and society mean clubs need
to adopt new ways of finding – and
keeping – members if they are to survive.
So how can we make that happen?
Archery GB is looking for ways to
support and increase regular
and sustained participation at club level
and is involved in pilot projects with a
small group of clubs across the country.
Many clubs think the solution is to own
their own facility with 24/7 access. But
this comes with its own set of challenges.
Unless a club has a large enough
membership to sustain the costs
involved, the reality is that it will probably
not succeed.
The potential benefits of having more
archers attend practice sessions
outweigh the negatives and have a
knock-on effect.Addressing the barriers
will make your club more welcoming and
more adept at catering for your
members’ needs.Attracting new
members, keeping them and getting
them to shoot regularly should be the first
priority. Owning new facilities comes
further down the list.

DEVELOPMENT – SPECIAL REPORT 29
Why don’t members turn up?
Coaching
The first challenge for many clubs is to
reconcile the number of members with
the numbers who actually turn up to
shoot regularly.
There could be many factors at play
but there’s plenty clubs can do.
• Appoint a member to be responsible for
monitoring attendance and contacting
members.This has been very effective in
increasing regular attendance.
• Carry out a survey. Send out a formal
questionnaire, talk to them or simply
send an email to members that do not
attend regularly and ask why.
• Ask what the club could do to get them
shooting regularly
• Understand the motives of those who
do attend regularly.The answers could
influence recruitment drives.
• Run a welcome back programme.Tell
members they are missed and ask
them what the club can do to get them
involved again.
• Set up a welcome back session and
invite some of the other members to
‘buddy’ lapsed members.
• Offer refreshments and ask what would
motivate them to attend more regularly.
• In every case agree a follow up and a
set a date.
Regular coaching is
on most archers’
wish lists. But
setting up regular
coaching – and
the funding
needed to get
qualified coaches
– can be daunting
for clubs. But again,
there are things they can do:
Organise workshops using
experienced members, external
speakers or coaches:
• 15-minute mini-workshops work very
well during practice sessions. Members
learn about a topic but also get
to shoot.
• Hold separate equipment maintenance
or tuning workshops.
• Organise separate bow type surgeries
or coaching sessions.
• Run a skills and drills session at the start
of some practice sessions.
Put a process in place to help
members achieve their potential:
• Improver’s course immediately after
completing a beginner’s course.
• Allocating coaches to
specific individuals.
• Run focused small group coaching
sessions as well as general
practice sessions.
• Workshops to support competition entry
such as preparing for a competition,
dealing with pressure and run
head-to-head sessions.
Falling attendance is a good indicator
that something is not right.Archers who
get out of a regular routine can worry
that things have moved on and feel
embarrassed about turning up again.
So how can clubs prevent this?
Probably the most important step is to
create a learning environment.
• Use a tablet and app such as Coach’s
Eye to do video analysis.
• Identify common areas for
development and get groups to
work together.
• Have a development area of the month
topic and give a five-minute briefing at
practice sessions to all members.
• Recognise achievements by presenting
awards and classification badges at
club practice sessions.
Not all these ideas will work at every club.
Choose what might work for yours and
give it a try.They have all been tested and
members report better success rates at
competitions, a stronger culture of support
and an appreciation of “added value.”
We want to hear from clubs that have
tried some of these strategies or have
tried different ideas that worked.
Email [email protected] or
call 07525 233592.
In the next issue Arran
looks at communicating with
members and improving
competitive opportunities.

Brixham at forefront of increasing participation
B
rixham Archers was formed in
December 1969 but it is at the
forefront of a very modern drive
to get more people involved
in the sport.
It has been selected to take part in
Archery GB’s Increasing Participation
project. It is also getting everything in
place so that when it finds a suitable
location, it can set up a new home.
For the past 12 years it has been
renting a farmer’s field, which is big
enough for regular club use but not its
outdoor tournaments. But that does not
put members off and the club hosts
popular indoor and outdoor tournaments
including the Clipper head to head.
Four years ago the club was invited to
attend a meeting with representatives
from two other local sports clubs and
council officers to discuss the possibility of
setting up a new multi-sport facility.
Funding has been identified but a final
decision has yet to be reached.
While it waits, the club is using an
empty industrial unit.Although it is not a
permanent arrangement, it has given
Brixham Archers the time and space it
needs to get everything in place.
It has become a Company Limited by
Guarantee and registered as a
Community Amateur Sports Club so that
it can take advantage of any
opportunities that come along.And the
work it has done on gaining ontarget
and Club Mark accreditation has helped
it to reflect on what it wants, what it
needs to do and come up with a
strategy for the future.

Students sign up
New clubs at colleges and universities
Colleges and universities have caught the archery bug! And work has already started

Telford College of Arts and Technology
he scheme is being funded by
Sport England and the aim is to
get more young people involved in
archery. Five universities have

So what’s the difference? University
clubs are clubs in their own right and
satellite clubs are extensions of existing
community archery clubs.
The idea of satellites is that students
can take part in archery in familiar
surroundings, helped by the “hub” club.
The ultimate aim is to encourage the
students to join the hub club once
they leave college. Already working
together are:
• Weston College and Gordano Valley
Archers
• Telford College of Arts and Technology
and Telford Archers
Workshop dates
Saturday 25 January 2014. 9am-5pm.
Lilleshall National Sports & Conferencing
Centre, Newport,TF10 9AT. Costs £15.
A series of in-depth workshops is being
run as an alternative to the National
Development Conference and the aim is
to deliver exactly the information you need.
They are open to all but, where demand
is high, priority will be given to members of
ontarget clubs.
The workshops are:
• Pass It On: Coach archers with a disability.
ARCHERY UK • AUTUMN 2013
For level 1 coaches and above. Develop
your skills and confidence in dealing with
the disabled, providing appropriate

Harper, said “We are always looking to
work with positive, proactive partners and
the satellite club is a great example of the
opportunities available to local young
people when CSPs and national
governing bodies work together to
support positive, forward thinking clubs
and colleges.”
“Both the college and Telford Archers
have approached the satellite
partnership with great enthusiasm and a
‘can do’ approach. I think the strength of
the partnership will help support the
sustainability and long term success of
the Telford Archery Satellite club.”
Joe Bates, College Sports Maker at
Telford College of Arts and Technology,
said:“We are really looking forward to
launching our weekly archery club. We
have consulted students and there is a
big demand for this.
“Archery is becoming increasingly
popular in schools and colleges as it is
inclusive, social and offers something
different to the traditional sports. We
have established a great partnership
with Telford Archers and hope to see
some of our students represent the
club in the future.”
Five new university clubs, supported by
Archery GB and local County Sport
Partnerships, have also been set up.
They are at:
•Newcastle University
• Salford University
• Bournemouth University
• Royal Holloway, University
of London
• Bristol University
Abi Walker, President of
Newcastle University’s club, said: “We are
having some teething problems as a
new club, but we have been helped by
Bowmen of Walker and now have 48
people signed up and more asking
about taster sessions.The main teething
problem is getting them all in!”
The Salford club is being helped by
Moorside Archers. Until the new club finds
space on campus, Moorside has
made its hall available for taster
sessions and beginners courses and
loaned equipment.
All the college and university clubs are
monitoring regular participation and
Archery GB will continue to work with them,
helping them develop so that they can
offer archery to more 16 to 25-year-olds.
There is also a Further and Higher
Education funding scheme open to
English clubs until 13 December. For more
details go to the Hot Topics section on the
Archery GB website. For information about

must go to the team behind

which has worked tirelessly since
his appointment in February.
“These results come at the start of a
new cycle and give us a great platform
for Rio 2016 and obviously, with new
events named for Rio and a new
classification system coming into place,
we will continue to identify and exploit
further opportunities for continued
medal success.”
Dani’s silver came after a shoot-off
against Dag, who led until the fourth end.
As Archery UK
went to press, the para
archers were in the process of
being reclassified.We will look
at the classification process,
and its implications,
in the next edition.
But then Dani
came back with a blistering 9-9-10 to
tie the match 136-136. Both hit the nine in
the shoot-off – but Dag's arrow was just
that fraction closer.
And Mel Clarke gave GB its first medal,
bagging open compound bronze in her

£12,500 boost for Rio dream
Chasing the Rio Dream has been made
a little bit easier for our Para archers,
thanks to a £12,500 gift from the
Worshipful Company of Fletchers.
Performance Director Sara Symington

towards identifying and nurturing talent.
Some will go towards Pass It On

tailored training to give them the
confidence to meet the needs of para
archers and help them develop, both at
grass root and elite levels.
Sara said:“This continued support is
paramount in helping us identify and
train archers in the 2016 cycle towards
Paralympic success and to run further
discreet talent projects together with
continued dedicated coach training all of which are essential in the
continued success of Team GB.
“The Worshipful Company of

continued generosity are truly
appreciated by all at Archery GB,
and it's a pleasure to have its
support in the journey
towards Rio.”

Maybe next time...
Three archers set out to Sassari, Sardinia, to fly the flag for
Britain at the World 3D Field Championships, led by
defending compound champion Lucy
Holderness. But this time it just was not to be.
Lucy led all the way to the eliminations
and knew exactly what she had to do:
shoot a single arrow at each of 12
targets for a place in the top eight.
The remaining archers then had
to shoot at eight targets to
decide who was going through
to the semis.
After a disappointing first
target she clawed her way back
to third place but then, in the last
eight, she misjudged two
distances and shot two fives,
missing the chance of a semi-final
place and sending shockwaves
through the competition.
Fellow compounder Gary Cole put
in a brilliant performance in his first
World 3D Championships to be ranked
third after the first eliminations. But he
dropped to sixth place and out of contention
in a hotly contested second round.

The third team member was longbow
archer Steve Burke. He surpassed all
expectations but he found himself up
against archers shooting American
flatbows, which are faster and more
consistent than his English longbow.
But the team, one of the smallest at the
competition, was philosophical. Lucy later
said:“it just wasn't to be. Maybe next time.”
PERFORMANCE 41
Bronze thriller
Perfect 10s and then...
Great Britain’s compound women
mounted a spectacular challenge for a
team bronze at the World Archery
Championships as winds howled in Belek,
Antalya, ending their campaign with a
perfect 10-10-10.
Danielle Brown, Rikki Bingham and
Andrea Gales finished in magnificent
style, dropping only two points in their last
six arrows while their opponents, France,
managed only 52 points. But they had left
it fractionally too late to turn things
around after falling eight points behind in
the third end.The final score was 219-217
to France.
Barry Eley, Archery GB Performance
Manager said:“Andrea, Danielle and
Rikki have all shot very well in extremely
difficult conditions over the past few days
and all their hard work as a team so
nearly paid off.”
And high winds played a major role
throughout the championships. In fact
members of Colombia’s women’s team,
which went on to take gold, resorted to
wearing backpacks while shooting to give
added stability.
There was other drama too.Adam
Ravenscroft, Duncan Busby and Chris Bell put
up a brave battle in their compound team
quarter finals battle but were overcome by
South Africa.And Rikki Bingham, who caused
one of the championship’s major upsets by
dumping number 1 seed American Erika
Jones out of contention, was then denied a
place in the semis. In the men's competition,
Adam Ravenscroft lost to 63-seed Roberval
Dos Santos of Brazil.
A shoot-off kept 17-year-old Becky Martin
out of the last 16 in the women's recurve
competition. She kept the pressure
on Germany's Karina Winter all the way,
forcing a shoot-off.They both hit the nine but Winter's was just that bit closer to
the centre. She was in action again,
reaching the team quarter finals with
Amy Oliver and Naomi Folkard.
And a remarkable fight back by
the men’s team of Larry Godfrey,
Alan Wills and Ashe Morgan put
them into the last 16 of the men’s
team competition.Then they
came up against top-seeded
Korea.They came agonisingly close
but a couple of poor arrows in the
gusty conditions sealed their fate.

DÉJÀ VU....
The cover story of
Archery UK’s summer
edition featured England
and Saints Rugby player,
Tom Wood being coached
and shooting at the home
of Northampton Rugby
Club at Franklin's Gardens.
This was not however the first time
arrows had been nocked and shot
at the ground.When Northampton
Archery Club was formed in
1948-49,its official home was the
very same spot.
The club owes much to founder
members Sid Cato and Peter Isaac
and in those early days, the grass
was not mowed as it is today and
was apparently quite long. It led to
several complaints from visiting
clubs about arrows being found on
the rugby field and, eventually, the
club moved to Delapre Abbey.
As Northampton Archery Club
now reaches pensionable age, it
hopes to meet up with any former
members and associates. If you
want to join in the reunion fun,

Can we find help?
Is there any kind of funding available for
an archer whose parents are on a low
income? I have looked at the Archery GB
website but cannot seem to find
any guidance.
What would benefit parents in this
position is either funding from Archery GB
or help in obtaining it from other sources.
Surely Archery GB has the resources to do
that? Wouldn’t this be in keeping with the
2012 legacy?

organisations have grants for individuals
and,unfortunately,Archery GB is the same.
We work with clubs to help them access

Sometimes we have to help clubs find

GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!
I have recently had to cancel our annual
tournament due to a lack of entries with
only two weeks left before the closing
date. Last year at the same time I had
maybe a dozen spaces left out of 96
which, when compared to this year’s 67
remaining places, is quite a difference!
After speaking to other organisers it
appears we are all in the same boat.
Entries to our competitions are coming
later and later.Typically a lot of entries
arrive within the last two weeks before the
competition, but this is by no means
guaranteed, which leads to organisers like
myself wondering at which point they
ought to pull the plug.
As many will realise rising costs of halls
for indoor tournaments means organisers
need to give plenty of notice not to incur
costs if events have to be cancelled for
any reason. Not only do organisers then
have to notify judges and
competitors who have entered but
also refund any payments which
have been taken.
So allowing a couple of weeks
prior to any competition for
notification in the event of
cancellation should really be the
norm and archers wishing to enter
should take this into consideration
when sending their entries in.
Just because an event took place
last year doesn’t guarantee it will be
held the next year! So, to all archers
out there, if you plan on entering a
competition please, please, please
get your entries in sooner rather than
later to avoid competition
cancellations.

Hinckley Archery Club
SIX OR THREE PLUS
THREE?
May I offer a few thoughts on the current
inexorable rise of the practice of shooting
ends as six arrows straight, rather than
three plus three?
I shoot a recurve bow, of sufficient
poundage to score at 100 yards. I have
also just turned 60. I feel all the aches and
pains that shoulders can give and my
strength and stamina are declining.This
happens. It is called ageing.
As a result, I find the results of shooting
six arrows straight off can be variable. At
the start of the round all is well but,
gradually, things start to catch up and the
shots begin to collapse. By the end of 12
dozen, the possibility of holding my bow
at full draw long enough to sight, let alone
aim, is a tad random. I need the rest after
three arrows to get me through the round.
Some might say I simply need to improve
my fitness.True, but I can only train so
much. I could reduce the poundage but
then I would not reach 100 yards. I could
take off my longrod to make things lighter
but I doubt much would change. So I am
effectively barred from entering
tournaments at 100 yards/90 metres?
Shoot shorter distances? That would mean
little competition and giving up other
targets - Roses and Stars, the chance of a
higher classification than second, the
chance to aspire to a county team.
Of course there are people of my age
who are fitter than I am, who can cope. But
there are many more who will be finding
my story familiar and will, like me, be
staying away from tournaments.Archery
has always prided itself on being a sport
for all but this apparently popular and
innocuous change could force people
like myself out of the serious tournament
circuit. I have no intention of taking up
compound archery. It is often cited as an
answer but I still have not done all I want
to in the recurve. I am simply speaking as
a (late) middle-aged recurve archer
who would like to be allowed to
continue participating in his sport at a
level he enjoys.

44 EUROPEAN ARCHERY FESTIVAL
Are you ready?
There’s still time to be part of the European Archery Festival!
T
here’s less than two months to go
until one of the biggest events in
the 2014 UK archery diary – the
European Archery Festival at Telford
International Centre.And the big
question is: are you ready?
Archers all over the nation are
preparing to take on the world’s best –
including big US names like Erika Jones
and Rio Wilde, Olympic runner-up Rick
van der Ven and Italy’s Sergio Pagni – at
the third leg of World Archery’s Indoor
World Cup.And organisers are delighted
at the home fans’ reaction.
“The response from British archers has,
frankly, been fantastic,” said competition
manager Jon Nott.“We’ve got a lot of
competitors coming from nearly 40
countries. But we wanted to bring the
event here to give UK archers a chance
to compete in something that they
wouldn’t have experienced before, unless
they have made the trip to the
competition’s normal
location in Nimes.”
The last of four qualification
sessions, at noon on 25
January, was booked up over a
month ago – with 300 archers
shooting at the same time. But
there is still plenty of space for
more archers.
“At the start of November we
had 600 competitors taking part
and that is already huge,” said Jon,
“But we have plenty of space and
we want to use it!
An enormous number of archery
manufacturers, distributors and retailers
are supporting the European Archery
Festival. It’s part of probably the biggest
competition archery exhibition this year.

“We are putting up over £20,000 in prize money and sponsors have

the second chance shoot that is persuading so many people to give the
competition a go.

to the final rounds the chance to win something.That’s what makes this
event so special,” said Jon.“It will help distribute prizes to a larger
proportion of the field.The competition will be held on the Sunday

The best ever!
Stunning performances at National Clout Championships
R
ecords tumbled as 149 archers
lined up for the 2013 National Clout
Championships at the home of
Bronte Archers, Bradford. Longbow
and barebow dominated, with 44 archers
from each discipline competing, along
with 47 recurvers and 14 compounders.
“There was some fantastic shooting,” said
organiser Andrew Neal.“The women's
barebow had to be decided by the
number of clouts scored as both the
scores and number of hits were equal.
“Both the women’s and men’s recurve
champions were within a handful of
points of the current national records.
There were five national records claims –
all from juniors – and 23 Tassel Award
claims, including two purple and two
gold awards.
“The junior boy recurve title was won by
Oliver Vobe of Deben Archery Club. He
only took up archery at the beginning of
the year and this was his first clout shoot.
Not only did he win the title but he set a
new single clout national record doing
it. What an excellent achievement. As
far as I am concerned, this is the best
National Clout Championships ever!” G
Now where was that knight?..
A
rchers donned medieval
costume to shoot at elaborate
targets during the fifth Firbeck
Crecy Shoot, organised by the
Chantry Bowmen of Rotherham.
The first victims were “mounted knights”
at 160 yards, quickly followed by
“men-at-arms” at 145 yards and, finally
“crossbowmen” at 120 yards.
The aim was to hit the figure on the
targets and, although many arrows fell
short or overshot, depending on the
distance, there was a real sense of elation
as archers got their eye in.
They day ended with a Crecy Volley, six
arrows per archer shot at a shield at an
undisclosed distance. Of 300 arrows shot,
only three hit the target – but the forest
of arrows around the target was
pretty impressive!
Not satisfied with medieval
matters, the Chantry
Bowmen found themselves
coping with something a
little more modern –
Zumba and all the fun of
the fair – when the club
ran have-a-go session at
the Rotherham Show.
But it all added to the
atmosphere and success
as show visitors flocked to
try archery for themselves. G

one of the last battles in which longbows played a crucial
role. It was certainly the last on British soil. It resulted in
victory for the English, an estimated 15,000 deaths – including James
IV of Scotland – and a unique war memorial, the Flodden Window, at
St Leonard’s Church, Middleton, thought to be one of Britain’s oldest.
On 8 September 2013, archers gathered to commemorate the battle
and to raise cash towards the upkeep of the recently restored window,
which is dedicated to the Middleton Archers. It features the names of
17 captains of archers, their priest, Sir Richard Assheton, the man who
commissioned the window and rebuilt the church, and his wife.
Sixty-seven archers registered for the UK record and Tassel Status
one-way double Middleton Archers Charity Clout – and raised more
than £455. It was the third organised by Rochdale Company of Archers
and brought the total raised for the window to more than £1,100.
An RCA spokesman said:“It seems a fitting way to mark the 500th
anniversary, commemorate the archers, preserve the memorial and
remind people about the crucial role archery has played in Britain’s
history. It is also a fantastic way to get people involved so they can
find out for themselves what a great sport archery is.”
And getting involved was what it was all about.There was a
have-a-go as well as the shoot, a cake competition which was won
by eight-year-old Emily Campbell, prizes for period dress and the
chance to meet Hollywood actor and director Hopwood Dupree who
was in town to research family links and agreed to be Lord Patron.The
Lady Paramount was Wendy Hodkinson, honorary curator of archery
at Manchester University.
In fact it proved such a success that it will be held again next year,
with Goldcrest Archers of Cheshire sponsoring the UK record status. G
50 FIELD ARCHERY
The hills
are alive...
With the sound of
3D field archers.
When Amanda Cale of Tyndale Archers decided to find
out more about 3D field archery, she did it in style. She
travelled to Austria with husband Tim for the holiday
of a lifetime. She came back
inspired.This is what she found:
Welcome to our first taste of
3D Bogenschiessen (field
archery),Austrian style!
Tim and I took up archery
four years ago and have tried different
styles. We love all of them and it gives
us the opportunity to meet up with
like-minded friends.
Last year we attended the National
Coaching Conference at Lilleshall, and
heard a fascinating talk by Urte Paulus, a
world-class field coach who spoke about
traditional archery. It is massive in Austria
where 3D field archery reigns supreme.
We found an article about “the ultimate
archery holiday” and, when we looked
into it, realised that for the same cost as
sitting on a beach we could be playing
with our bows and arrows in the Tyrol.
Making the arrangements and
buying insurance was easy.The hardest
part was deciding what gear to take
with us! Tim shoots longbow and flat
bow. I shoot recurve and longbow. In
the end we bought cheap take-down
trainer bows and packed them in our
suitcases.You can hire kit out there but I
would recommend taking your own
arrows if you can.
Waidring is a 45-minute drive from
Salzburg and is right in the centre of the
3D archery experience.There were three
‘Parcours’ (circuits) within five minutes of
the hotel and 30 within an hour’s drive.
I confess I was a bit nervous about what
we had let ourselves in for. But I needn’t
have worried.The courses were all well
maintained and laid out in the most
stunning woodland and alpine scenery.
Each rubber animal target was marked
with three pegs.The furthest away was for
compound archers, the middle for
recurve types and the closest for juniors. If
your first arrow hit, you collected your
arrows and scored, 20 for a kill (marked
with a bullseye) and 16 for a wound. If
Um, Mandy, it looks like there aren't
only rubber animals in these woods
you didn’t hit you shot again, scoring 14
or 10 respectively.Third time lucky scored
8 or 4.Three arrows, three attempts.
We spent three days shooting buffalo, big
cats, bears, dinosaurs, goats and crocodile.
Don’t worry, all of them were rubber. But
as someone who would not kill a single
living thing, I took a strange amount of
pleasure in shooting them. Probably
because I knew I was doing no harm.
All targets were clearly marked. Which
proved fortunate when what appeared to
be targets, a pony and a donkey, trotted
towards us and proceeded to inspect our
equipment.They watched patiently as we
shot before wandering off again.
We shot for three days, broke a few
arrows and had an entirely different and
exhilarating experience. Will I abandon
my trusty recurve and target
archery? No. But, in the words
of one of Austria's famous
exports,“I'll be back!”

Q.
It seemed very windy at the World
Target Championships in Turkey.
How do you cope when shooting in bad
weather conditions?
A.
The way you react to shooting
conditions has an enormous
effect on results, so learning to gain
control in even the windiest conditions will
maximise your chances of success.
There are two different processes.You
need to learn to compensate for the
effect the wind will have on your arrows.
The two most popular ways are to aim off
Q.
How important is it to get a
perfect arrow spine with a
compound? I've shot recurve for years
and know the damaging effects shooting
the wrong arrow can have on results.
Now I’ve changed to compound, will I
find it as spine-critical?
A.
The importance of getting the
correct spine with a recurve is
made more critical by the bow’s slower
speeds and the archer’s release.A
compound requires a different approach.
or to “bubble” off.Aiming off is fairly simple.
If the wind is blowing your arrows into the
7 on the left hand side of the target then
you need to aim in the 7 on the right to
compensate. Some people find this
difficult, so “bubbling” off or canting your
bow into the wind is a useful alternative.
You can gauge how much this will move
your arrow by using the spirit level in your
sight and, with a little practice, you will
learn how much cant is needed. It does
require patience to learn to do it well but
it can be a lifesaver.
Secondly you need to learn how to
make a good shot in any conditions
without sacrificing your form.The most
effective way to shoot in the wind is to
execute your normal shot process. Don't
over-aim or slow down your release, just
keep the pressure on the cam wall and
pull through smoothly.This requires a little
faith.Your mind will tell you it’s impossible if
you are being blown around the target
but you may be surprised by the
effectiveness of a good strong shot
process. If you try to hold still over the
middle you will tire quickly and your
results will become unpredictable.
Bow speeds are much faster and, for most
archers, the release is made much
cleaner with a release aid, putting less
stress on the arrow.This means
compounds have a better tolerance of
incorrect arrows.
I would always advise using the
manufacturers’ selection charts.These
are not always perfect but will point you
in the right direction. Spine selection
software like Archers Advantage can
also be invaluable.
If you do choose the wrong spine, you
will usually find too weak arrows give you
a good tight central group but bad shots
will hit further out than you expected.
Overly stiff arrows will give you a uniform,
more open group but bad shots should
not be as costly. A stiffer spine will be
easier to tune to your bow and will be
more forgiving. Just make sure your
arrows are not too stiff or you may find it
difficult to shoot tight groups.

Prehabilitation
In the second of a series of articles Jamal Mashlab,Archery UK’s lead
physiotherapist, suggests basic exercises which might reduce the risk of injury
P
revention is better than cure. We
all know that and it is the
rationale behind prehabilitation.
That is why physiotherapists and
strength and conditioning coaches use
what is known as prehabilitation
exercise training to prepare elite
athletes and cut the risk of injury. it is
sport-specific and targets common
injuries and strength imbalances.
In archery, imbalanced shoulder
musculature, bad technique, too high a
poundage and/or general muscle
weakness can cause shoulder tendinitis
or impingement. Any physiotherapist
working with an archer should
recommend a set of exercises to
develop shoulder and rotator cuff
strength.These Prehabilitation exercises
can be done as a stand alone set or
part of a wider strength and
conditioning programme which would
avoid any potential strength imbalance.
Important archery muscles include the
rotator cuff muscles such as the
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor
and subscapularis (Fig.1). Other
muscles acting on the scapula include
the upper/middle/lower trapezius,
rhomboids and posterior deltoid (Fig. 2).
The following exercises focus on rotor
cuff and scapula control.They are useful
preventative exercises that can be done
on a regular basis:
Always ask the advice of your
physiotherapist before you take on any
form of exercise or if you have a
current injury.

What’s the worst
that can happen?
Sarah Broadhead,Archery GB’s new sports psychologist,
has worked with GB Taekwondo, swimmers and golfers.
She works with Professor Steve Peters, best known for
his work with British Cycling and Team Sky. Here she
looks at confidence...
H
ow can I be confident? It’s a
question we often ask, in all
areas of our life. In archery we
have to shoot against someone
else to record a club score.This means we
can get beaten – and that can be hard
to deal with. So how do we prevent the
loss of confidence and enjoyment that
has driven some people out of the sport?
There are two different ways to approach
anything – and it all depends on which
part of the mind is in control at the time.
The chimp, or emotional, part of the brain
is all about survival. It wants you to be
seen to be good at things and respected
by others so you are included.
It sees losing as an embarrassment. It will
focus on outcome and often only enjoys
things it is good at. It is also very
changeable. One day it feels amazingly
confident.The next? Nothing. Looking
back on past successes does not help
because it thinks it cannot be repeated.
Or, even worse, that others expect the
same level every time. Failure to progress
results in only one thing: frustration. Don’t
blame the chimp for this. It’s trying to help
by protecting your self-esteem.
The other approach is logical, or human.
It knows shooting with others is a challenge,
not a threat and that self-esteem does
not depend on how well you shoot. It is
about sportsmanship, positivity, treating
others fairly and doing activities because
they are fun and not just because you
are good at them. It is about striving to be
the best that you can be.
We all have a different starting point
and we all have different strengths.
Constantly comparing ourselves to others
can be demoralising.And there could be
other factors, such as having the time to
practice.Try going for a personal best or, if
you are going for a certain score, think
about what YOU need to do. Getting
anxious or worrying what others will think
will only make you perform badly. Choose
your approach.
So how do you keep the chimp at bay?
Keep it happy and nurtured by
addressing your worries. Chimps like
positive support from those they respect,
so reassurance that you did your best
and should focus on yourself and your
own progress can really help. Remember,
progress takes time. Lots of athletes spend
many years building their skills but they
do not give up – despite the bad days
and glitches – and they focus on their
own improvement.
And, honestly, what is the worst that
can happen? You get a low score and
get beaten.You will still wake up tomorrow
and life goes on. Nobody really thinks any
worse of you.Try to be objective and look
at what positive steps you can take to
help you next time.You can only do
your best – and realising this can give
you the confidence you need to deal
with any outcome. G
Comfort
eating
WORDS: Jackie Wilkinson
I
t has been a fantastic
summer – but now days are
shorter, temperatures are
falling and most of us are
shooting indoors.
It is the season when your body
wants you to put on weight to
survive bitter temperatures and
food shortages of winter. We also
want to hibernate to avoid using
up all the fat we've carefully stored.
We know we have houses, heating
and year-round food so we don't
need to pile on weight to survive
the winter. Unfortunately your body
doesn’t. It is still working the way it
always has.
Suddenly we have irresistible
urges to eat comfort foods like
fruitcake.The sugar in fruit is
fructose and your body deals with it
differently to other carbohydrates.
Most of it is turned into fat.A similar
thing happens with omega 6 fats
such as sunflower oil. We're
programmed to store omega 6
without limit - and we get much
more of it than we need.
Our instinctive love of stodgy foods
does not help you stay sharp when
shooting. Over-indulging during
breaks could make you snoozy.And
your mind might not agree with
your body about the desirability of
laying down extra fat.
Check the labels on things you
eat at indoor competitions, such
as cakes, biscuits and pastries.
Avoid sugar and vegetable oil –
or suffer the consequences to
your scores. For more

rules, particularly with respect to the

bow limb in particular. For all disciplines
in barebow, the bow limbs may carry the
manufacturers trade marks on the inside
of the limb. However, any additional
markings may need to be taped over
in case they constitute a sighting aid
to the archer.
It is our intention to publish, where
possible, any interpretation of the AGB
rules of shooting through Archery UK, and
ultimately on the AGB Website, which we
hope will help archers in understanding
some of the requirements. We do strongly
urge all archers to remind themselves of
the relevant rules of shooting (both
AGB and World Archery) before
entering tournaments.

Safety first
Meeting the
challenge
How to cut have a go risks
Safety at have a go events is paramount.Yet concerns
have been raised lately. So what are the rules relating
to have-a gos and taster sessions?
D
irector of Operations Bryan Woodcock
said:“Archery GB’s Code of Practice for
have a gos is a suggested
framework for staging a successful event.
However, if organisers believe they have
very special circumstances, deviation
from the procedure can be permitted –
provided that a risk assessment
is carried out noting
those circumstances.
“The risk assessment must detail
what measures are being taken to
ensure, without compromise, the safety
of all participants in the have a go event.
The risk assessment should also explain
why it is necessary to make a change from
the Code of Practice.”
He said safety precautions had to be at their
most robust when the risk was greatest: when a
novice archer released their first arrows.And he said a
change to the standard code would only be
considered in rare and exceptional circumstances.
The code can be obtained by entering ‘have a go
code of practice’ in Archery GB’s website search engine.

The use of pictures in Archery UK, on the website and in promotional materials is also
governed by guidelines.They are being looked into at the moment but, in the meantime,
there are simple practical measures we can take.
• Before a picture of a junior can be published, permission must be obtained, in writing, from
the junior and their parent or guardian.
• If you are a parent or guardian sending a picture of your child or children along with a
news snippet, a quick line saying you give consent for the picture to be used will be fine.
• Clubs are asked to gain both the juniors’ and parental consent and keep a list that can be
referred to if any problems arise.Again, a quick line on the bottom of submissions saying
there is parental consent would be appreciated.

accepted this year.
Growing fast
A new milestone has been reached.
There are now more than 43,000
members of Archery GB.
Membership Services Manager
Freddie Collier said:“Looking back over
past Olympic cycles we usually see a
membership surge in the year after an
Olympic games. With the London 2012
games being a home games that
membership surge has been
considerably bigger than anything we
have seen previously.
“At the end of the membership year –
30 September – the total membership
stood at 43,405, a growth of 23 per cent
on the previous year. But we must not be
complacent.Although about 18,500
(44 per cent) are new members, we
have a 32 per cent leaver rate with over
11,000 archers leaving each year.”
Delivering the highest standards
Archery GB is delivering the NSPCC Child
Protection in Sport Unit Standards for
Safeguarding and Protecting Children in
Sport at the very highest level.
Sport England made working towards,
achieving and maintaining advanced
level a condition of funding.
The work done by clubs and the
Development team on the ontarget
Young People specialism went a long
way to fulfilling the criteria, as did a
commitment by Archery GB to use the
Sport Safeguarding framework to ensure
that standards are maintained.The main
aims of the framework are to:
• Ensure high quality experiences of sport
for children and young people
• Maintain and build on the positive
outcomes arising from the application
of the Safeguarding Standards
• Embed good safeguarding practice at
all levels within sport
• Integrate the involvement of children
and young people in the development
and implementation of
safeguarding processes
Archery GB’s National Lead
Safeguarding Officer is Membership
Services Manager Freddie Collier and
there are two Safeguarding Stars: Junior
Committee Chairman Helen Woodcock
and Child Protection Officer Anne Rook.
62 COACHING
Why should you...
think about becoming a Level 1 coach?
Interest in archery is growing at an unprecedented rate.And as more people
flock to the sport the demand for coaches is growing.
S
o what does becoming a level 1
coach involve? What skills will it
equip you with? And why should
you consider doing the course?
The aim of the Level 1 course is very
simple: to equip new coaches with the
skills and knowledge to help beginners
develop, have fun and gain confidence
according to their physical and social
needs.That’s it. Nothing more is expected
of a level 1 coach.
It covers core and archery-specific
coaching skills and sports science,
good practice in coaching, safety and
child protection and aims to give
candidates the confidence to coach
people of all abilities, supported by a
mentor who will give you all the advice
and support you need.
There are three day-long theory
sessions followed, a few weeks later, by an
assessment where the candidate has to
show they can tailor coaching to
beginners’ needs in a safe environment,
plan and evaluate a coaching session,
provide
accurate
demonstrations
of correct T-Draw
technique, use
questions to check
understanding, provide
feedback for safety and
motivation and use
different coaching styles to
suit the situation.
Along the way candidates
learn – or reinforce existing
knowledge – about basic archery
equipment, equipping beginners, range
layout and control, the difference
between shooting barebow and freestyle,
coaching all abilities, basic anatomy
and safeguarding.
There is also a lot of work on the rights
of the beginner, developing appropriate
archer-coach relationships and the
personal and professional standards
expected of all coaches.
If all that sounds a little daunting, don’t
worry, it isn’t.The theory sessions are
straightforward and each candidate
receives a resource pack that outlines
every part of the course, what is expected
and, more-importantly, step-by-step
guides of what to do, along with activity
cards.There are also lots of practical
demonstrations that quickly build team
spirit and turn candidates into a
mutual support network.
Perhaps the hardest part is the period
between the theory sessions and the
assessment.That’s when candidates put
in the hard work.They are expected to
complete at least 12 hours’
supported practice –
coaching under the watchful
eye of a mentor or more
experienced coaches – where
they put everything they have
learned into practice, build
confidence, learn their
craft and prepare for the
external assessment.
That is a 30-minute session
introducing two “beginners” –
usually other candidates –
to either barebow or
freestyle archery after
carrying out necessary range and
safety checks, kitting them our and
explaining what the equipment is, how it
works and how to stay safe.
Everybody makes mistakes – that is
expected.The assessors want to see that
candidates can introduce people to
archery safely and professionally, taking
their level of ability and any possible
special circumstances into account.The
assessment is followed by a short
discussion to check you know your stuff –
and you find out there and then whether
you are a qualified coach.
So why should you consider becoming
a level 1 coach? It could be about
personal development or helping your
club, fellow members or the sport as a
whole. Or it could simply be about the joy
on someone’s face as you help them try
archery for the first time. Whatever the
reason, it is worth thinking about. G
64 JUDGES
What’s
the score?
Congratulations
and thanks
Time to test procedure
With the arrival of the indoor season, it is time for judges to think about indoor
scoring procedures.
Judges Committee Chairman Hannah Brown said:“It’s here, so before we go
steaming in it’s worth one last check so we all get it right…”
The basic method is:
1. Determine the arrow values
2. Score the highest 3 (or 5)
Have a go, see what you come up with.
3. Deal with arrows shot out of time
Answers at the bottom.
Congratulations to Jo Orbel who has
been upgraded to a World Archery
European Continental Judge.
Ann Jackson, Pete Fairbrother and
Andy Pointon have been thanked
by Judges Committee Chairman
Hannah Brown for all their hard
work.They have each decided to
retire from judging and have been
awarded Archery GB Judge
Emeritus status.
She also congratulated all those
who had successfully completed the
Annual National Judge Assessment
and reminded National Judges that
their re-accreditation paper has to
be completed and passed if they
want to retain National Level.
“You also have to attend one
conference in the four year period.”
She said.“If you haven’t done so,
contact Neil to book in for this year’s
– there is still time and space!”
Andy Pointon: awarded
Judge Emeritus status
A little reminder.
Barebows CAN have
limbsavers. Both rule
books allow them.
The 12.2cm rule only applies
to World Archery shoots
and Archery GB field.
It does not apply to
Archery GB target.
A = 4 arrows shot, on the bottom face there are 2, so the HIGHEST becomes a M.
Arrow values = 9, 9, 8, M
Take the lowest 3 = 9, 8, M
B = Arrow values = 9, 7, M
Has only shot 3 arrows, not more than 1 in each face,
End score = 9, 7, M
C = 3 arrows shot, on the top face there are 2, so the HIGHEST becomes a M
Arrow values = M, 8, 7
Has only shot 3 arrows, so end score = 8, 7, M
D = 3 arrows shot
Arrow values = 9, 9, 9
One arrow out of time, so strike through the highest and it becomes a M
End total = 9 M, 9, 9
Don’t forget to record the arrow value and strike it through so that the archer can
appeal if they want to.)

82 FROM THE CHAIRMAN
And Finally
We would like to thank the following
sponsors and partners
For long term support of our core programmes:
W
ell the winter is almost upon us and indoor shooting
is in full swing.At least it’s dry inside!
The final year total of 43,000-plus members is brilliant.
My thanks have to go to all you out there for running beginners
courses and accommodating the new members.And, as ever I
never tire of saying ‘top job’ and well done to every single one of you.
I must, of course, also say well done to the Archery GB office staff who
continue to impress with the turnaround of new members’ forms as well
as all the other work they do for us.
I was privileged to be able to attend the World Archery Congress in Belek,
Turkey. It involved two good but long days of discussion about how World
Archery moves forward in the next two years. I was even more honoured to
collect a bronze plaque on behalf of Pauline Betteridge for her great work in
the area of Para Archery classification.Tom Dielen said that she was the
“mother of Para classification.”
It was also great to see Archery GB member Chris Marsh receive a silver
plaque, the highest honour given other than to a former president, for his
outstanding work at the Olympics and Paralympics.
Our elite archers continue to excel. Our Para team had an outstanding World
Championships, bringing back seven medals in one of our best results ever.
And your youth archers put in a stunning performance too, bringing back
golds and a bronze from Wuxi and securing two places for GB in next year’s
Youth Olympic Games.
Closer to home, I have been travelling around the country with a small team,
meeting members and discussing how we govern ourselves. We have had
some great meetings and some excellent ideas have come from them. My
thanks to all who attended. By now you will have seen the information
about this and I hope that you take part in the consultation.This is an
extremely important part of how we, as a sport, move forward into the
next 10 to 15 years.
I look forward to seeing you at the indoor national in Coventry as well as
other events. Shoot well and enjoy.
And finally, may I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very happy
new year.
