Conrad Dickinson Starting is all smiles! early...
ine-year-old Conrad Dickinson doesn’t hang about. Almost as Nsoon as he finished his beginners’ course at Berkhamstead Bowmen he notched up his first Robin Hood. And his main ambition for the future? “Hitting the target!” Tim Dark of St Kingsmark Bowmen A first for Stuart O’Neill was sharing a target with two longbow archers when he managed to wreck one of their arrows. Tim looks pleased – but the other arrow’s owner seems less than impressed. Do you smile or cry? That’s what Melanie Inglis of Audco Archers in Newport, Shropshire, is asking herself. In Steven Fortt and Colin Parrott true Robin Hood style her second arrow managed to split the first right Norman Smith’s down the middle! She shoots barebow first Robin Hood and was really pleased – even though it meant a ruined arrow! Colin Parrott and Steven Fortt are also counting the cost. Both were using ACEs and shooting at 60 yards when the Oops... Tim Dark with inevitable happened. And Richard his Robin Hood Parker of Crystal Palace Bowmen reckons that shooting a Robin Hood just about makes up for losing an arrow. Saxon Archers has had a hat trick of firsts earlier this year. Stuart O’Neil shot its first Robin Hood at its first outdoor shoot at its first session in its new home at Cardinal Allen High School in Melanie Inglis Fleetwood.

Jelly bows mark jubilee
hen David Cottle clocked up 25 years as a member of Bath WArchers, the occasion had to be marked. And it was, with jelly bows, sweets, cake and a fish and chips lunch. A clout shoot was held for David, a longbow archer who spent 17 years as the club’s records officer and four as junior representative. But, to make it a bit special, archers had to use jelly bows instead of their own kit. And there was no chance of anyone going hungry with a morning break for cake, lunch and a special afternoon tea! David was presented with an engraved glass tankard to mark the occasion, along with a certificate showing his first recorded score. l

As mentioned in the last edition of Archery UK, we are trying out a new approach to obituaries. The aim is to recognise the achievements of our much-valued and sorely missed members while being fair to everyone. We have been asked to supply a basic format as guidance, so can we suggest a similar format to that shown above? We need to know the name of the member, their club, age if applicable, their achievements and what they meant to your club, county, region or organisation. If possible, please keep it to around 100 words but there will, of course, be exceptions. And, if possible, try to supply a head and shoulders picture. Names can be easily lost or misheard on a shooting line but faces are hard to forget. l

Switch to barebow proves a success
ine years ago a young boy shot clout for the first time at the Berkhamsted Bowmen Good Friday shoot. He struggled with a recurve bow Nand its stabilisers so swapped to barebow – and has never looked back. Since then, Alex North of Abbey Bowmen, Hertfordshire, has worked his way through all the distances at as many clouts as he can, notching up county, regional and national records. A particular favourite is the Neston Tri Clout, organised by Peter Gregory and Goldcrest Archers, where he can shoot imperial and metric clouts over one Bank Holiday weekend. This year he broke five national records at the shoot. As his last year as a junior approached, he decided to concentrate on clout. In two months he broke eight national records (and a ninth, subject to ratification), won imperial and metric purple tassels as a junior and achieved a six gold end. He has also broken two Hertfordshire county records as a senior. So why does he like clout so much? “I like shooting arrows long distances and not knowing what you have scored,” he said. l

Clout stunner! 160 vie for national honours
here was spectacular shooting – and some stunning results – as 160 archers went for glory and T records tumbled at the National Clout Championships. And in one remarkable end, recurver Cherry Lyne shot an imperial six clout end, getting all her arrows into the three- foot diameter, five-scoring zone at 140 yards. She went on to take the recurve title and lift the George Thorley Trophy. Tournament Secretary Andrew Neal The championship was hosted by “After shooting the end, before we said: “This is only the second ever Bronte Archers at Apperley Bridge, walked up to score and collect, imperial clout end.

Frustrating – but fun! That was the verdict of first-timers at the Lincolnshire County Clout Tournament. The weather was glorious at the event, hosted by Pilgrim Bowmen of Boston, even if a following wind plus a headwind made shooting a little challenging. ”It certainly put the 26 contestants on their mettle to establish a sight mark,” said Pilgrim Secretary Ian Clayton. “For many it was their first attempt at clout and, while they found it frustrating, all agreed that it was great fun. “Fun is what it is all about.

Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Nobody should have worried though. The sun shone, there was a carnival day atmosphere, arrows flew into all sorts of novelty targets and non-archers queued to try their hands at a have-a-go. Parent co-ordinator Christine Coathup said: “The children had asked to take a lead in the charity event and it is a true credit to Meriden Archery Junior Club that they made it such a success. On the day, we raised £654.15 with a further generous donation of £240 from the committee.” Tanita Mistry, a representative of Birmingham Children’s Hospital, thanked them for all their hard work and welcomed the follow-up matched funding of £637.65 from the Charity Aid Foundation. It took the total raised to more than £1,500 with further matched funding still hoped for.l 20-25_Juniors_LC_APP.qxp_Archery 2015 07/12/2015 16:25 Page 22

Perform two to three sets of these 8 exercises, 10 times on each side. Start with just your arm as the resistance and then work up to holding a tin of beans and then some dumbbells. Teres minor exercises target the lower part of the scapula. Lateral pull downs or low rows will target these and the trapezius muscles. One option is the scapula upward and downward rotation exercise. Push your scapula as far away from you as possible and pull the scapulae together as much as possible to target the rotator cuff muscles. Again, two to three sets of 10 repetitions should do the trick. The supraspinatus muscles benefit from YTW exercises. You can find out 7 how to do these online. Another good one is the Swiss ball cobra or prone cobra (on a bench). It is an upside down V squeezing your back muscles together and tensing those rotator cuff muscles. Two to three sets of 10 reps are perfect and will give your abs and lower trapezius a work out too! Of course these exercises do not just Figure 7: the start of a Swiss ball cobra (can also be done on a bench) target one rotator cuff muscle at a Figure 8: the finish position of the time, but all of them.

61 DISABILITIES Come on in! How to welcome disabled archers
rchery is a truly inclusive celebration of precision, concentration and Aaccuracy. It has a unique heritage and is open to all. So how do we make sure everyone has the chance to get involved? Almost 20 per cent of the population consider themselves to be disabled. We also know that less than half of disabled people take part in sport or physical activity regularly, compared to non-disabled people. But they want to do more. In fact, 70 per cent of disabled people want to be more active and we need to make sure that, as a sport, archery is ready to welcome them. Over the last couple of years Archery GB has awarded £15,000 to support projects that increase the number of disabled people participating in archery. Around 200 coaches have attended Archery GB’s Pass it On: requirement.
