Nonsuch had 12 archers including one junior, a girl, shooting recurve, Far away friends in the Falkland Islands compound and barebow recurve.

And the results were surprisingly close result. Nonsuch won with an average of 1,434 against the Falklands’ 1,427. But it wasn’t about winning, even by seven points. It was about making friends and encouraging archers on the other side of the world.Team pictures have now been exchanged and Nonsuch’s archers are hoping it will be the start of a firm friendship.

ew Impulse™ vane will be shooting for gold this summer! The result of two years of research in Aerodynamics and materials engineering, the NImpulse™ vane is already making its way to the top after only a couple of months on the market. Lee Ford of USA Team Archery will be using the Impulse™ vane during the London Paralympic games, which she recently qualified for. “I'm so excited,”she said,“I can't contain myself! The Impulse™ helped a lot with that too.The wind picked up during the last of the round robins and every archer during the last two matches had a hard time of it but me.The next to last match, I had the highest score, even against the recurve men! Thenextendwasjustaswindy,andIshota101for an extra bonus point.The vanes held up well when we had London type weather and my arrows didn't drop in the rain. Also, another archer and I smacked arrows on the target. Her spin vane was destroyed, my Impulse™ had a tiny lift off the arrow which I glued down and it shot perfectly fine the rest of the week. I really think the Impulse™ madea difference for me.The 1056 was also a personal best double 70 round score! Lee Ford at the US Olympic Training Centre, Chula Vista, CA I'm going to be working hard to bring home the gold!”

The guest of honour was Alison Williamson, (who is about to compete in her sixth Olympics,) which was appropriate as she still holds the ladies’ recurve record. The FITA Star-status Outdoor Championships held at Lilleshall, tends to attract stronger archers.There are two factors: training can clash with exams and it takes a score of around 1,200 for recurve archers to be in with the chance of a medal. Novices can, however, take part in cadet rounds. And there are the British University Team Championships, where teams of three compete on Hit-Miss targets in a head- to-head tournament that usually draws crowds of enthusiastic spectators.

he brief was simple: Disney needed help. It had a fairytale castle and stars lined up to do a promo shoot T for Brave, which will be released this summer – but nobody to show them how to shoot. So Disney asked Archery GB for help – to find a young, feisty, red haired archer with a Scottish accent who looked something like the main character. ArcheryGBlaunchedaTwittersearch for the perfect candidate – and came up with four names which were forwarded to Disney. It chose Deborah Sneddon, a 23- year-old who grew up in Carluke, studied chemistry at St Andrews and is now doing a PhD at Birmingham University. “This is a crazy opportunity,”she said. “I was sitting with some friends at a bonfire when I got the call.They all erupted.They were all so excited. It’s mental, really mental.” The five-hour shoot was held at Dundas Castle, near Edinburgh – and Deborah provedapopularteacherwiththecastof Disney’s , Jason Dolley, and Bradley Steven Parry. Bridgit, 19, who plays Teddy Duncan in the series said;“Deborah is so cool.” Jason, 20, who plays her brother PJ, said:“She’s really cool. She was shooting arrows before she taught us, just one after the other – boom, boom, boom, right into the centre of the target. It was a bit intimidating at first but she was really great at helping us and told us what to do. “Archery is awesome. It’s one of the best feelings because it’s just so satisfying hitting the centre of the target.You just feel really cool.” Deborah said:“Bridgit, Jason and Bradley were hilarious and very easy to work with.They listened to what I was

She helped our cast achieve spectacular results.And she was really natural in front of the camera – a polished performance.”He also thanked Rochdale Company of Archers for supplying beginners’ bows for the shoot.

I'd like some advice on choosing scopes and peep sights. As I'm getting older my eyesight is getting worse and I'd like as much magnification as possible for outdoor use Qbut I've found using a 1.25 lens leads to a blurred image. How can I get around this? I’ve used an air rifle with a scope that doesn't cause this problem so I'm hoping that the same can be done with a compound scope by adding a lens to the peep. Your advice would be appreciated.

A blurred image is a common problem with high magnification lenses. One of the ways around this would be to use a clarifying peep. Clarifying peeps have a small lens in them which works with the lens in your scope to produce a clear sight picture, there are several on the market, one of the most versatile is the Specialty Archery peep. It comes with the option to use one of three clarifying lenses in a range of hole sizes, these are interchangeable so you can experiment to find the one that works best for you. Clarifying peeps are not without their problems, shooting with them in the wet can pose a problem as the tiny lens can steam up and is difficult to dry. An alternative would be to use a slightly lower magnification lens (say a 1.0) but choose one which This is how I do it: boasts a super clear target picture such as Sure Loc's Black Eagle.

SUMMER 2012 • ARCHERY UK 82 FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We would like to thank the following sponsors and partners And Finally For long term support of our core programmes: t the risk of repeating the Chief Executive, I have to begin with a word of thanks to members who attended the AGM Ain London. I think it's a fantastic idea to start taking the AGM round the country and, hopefully, that will encourage plenty more new faces to engage with the decision making of our organisation. Obviously the business side of the AGM is important, but it's also Performance Sponsor: great for networking, meeting friends from the archery community and being able to discuss various issues – especially thorny ones – face to face. I am not a fan of people who hide behind a computer screen to vent their spleen if they're angry. If you have a problem, ring me. Or come and talk to me if you see me at a shoot. I am very approachable, honest! And For helping us raise standards: always happy to chat. Talking of thorny issues, a number of you have been contacting me about the small increase in membership fees. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need to do this. But costs are rising all the time and for the sake of an extra £3 a year you can help us make sure that we comfortably maintain – and improve – the services we provide at the moment.And, when you work it out, the annual fee 2012 Archery GB National Series: works out at only 10 pence a day. When I became chairman, I wanted to increase what we do for grass roots archery and boost coaching and judges’ training. I wanted to increase the service we give to every member.Those aspirations have been well received, but they cost money. Not only that, volunteers do a massive amount of work.They Gold should - rightly – have their expenses covered, and I want to make sure that none of them are out of pocket. Talking of volunteers, we had a great band of helpers for our Olympic and Paralympic selection shoots. Congratulations to all the archers representing us at the Games. I really do hope that their dedication is rewarded in the form of medals.The standard of archery at the selection shoots was outstanding, and all the archers who took part were a credit to themselves and our sport. I only wish I could say the same about the weather. It was awful. Please can we have some sunshine from 27 July to 5 September! It’s less than two months to the Olympics, quickly followed by the Paralympics – and I cannot hide my excitement – as both as an archer and Chairman of Archery GB. Silver It has been great to see so much enthusiasm from archers around the country, and I hope the profile that being involved in the Olympics and Paralympics has a very productive spin off for our clubs.We all know what a fantastic sport archery is, and what a great community we are involved with, and I hope that lots more people discover us as a result of the Olympics. But it's not just about elite archery. Shoots of all levels Bronze take place up and down the country year in, year out. Whether you're an Olympian or, like me, a local archer, it is wonderful to visit various events, and see so manypeoplehavingagreat time shooting arrows. Long may that continue! Have a great summer.
