8 NEWS A FITTING LEGACY Samuel keeps it in the family hen 10-year-old Samuel White was presented with the Bernard Day Memorial Trophy he could not Wunderstand why his grandma, Sandra Pilgrim, cheered loudly then suddenly burst into tears. Samuel, a member of Grays Archery Club in Essex, started shooting in March. Since then he has achieved his third class badge and won his class at the club’s championships – and the trophy. When Sandra’s tears and hugs dried up, all started to become clear. Samuel had a connection with Bernard Day. In fact the man honoured by the trophy was her dad and Samuel’s great grandfather. Bernard joined the club in 1977 and was an active member who, as he became more experienced, took on the role of instructing beginners and novices and helping members to improve their shooting. When he died, his wife Doris gave the trophy to the club in his memory. It was presented for the first time in 1991 and is awarded for the most improved handicap of a novice at the club championships.And this year, that was Samuel. Sandra said Bernard would have been very happy that his great grandson has taken up a sport he had loved so much and that it was a fitting family legacy. G

Hours of diligent Mpractice and endless sight adjustments – you know the score. So there was a tinge of envy – mixed with immense pride – at a beginners’ course run by Arundown Archers in the Angmering School in Sussex, when Lee Marshall, pictured with Lauren Penn, shot his first Robin Hood. Club secretary Mike Bassett said:“It was from 15 yards and shooting barebow.And you’ll see that all four of his arrows and three of his target companion’s, are in the gold, on an 80cm face – after about eight hours instruction.Wow!” Martin Poole had an expensive last end during a practice session with West Windsor Archers. It took a while to find his last arrow – but then it was spotted sticking out of the end of one belonging to new member Max White. Jacki Beard of Ditchling Archery Club shot a Robin Hood in March – and club mate Mike Philpotts wasn’t too happy when she repeated the feat. His aluminium arrow was in the 10 when Jacki struck with her ACE.“It has to be one of the most expensive Graham Brook’s arrows 10s I’ve shot,”she said. Tom Firth had just made some Mark Bennett longbow arrows and was bare shaft tuning them at 16 yards. He started out with 11 but finished up with nine. One “exploded” as it left the bow and the other? He Robin Hooded it.“It serves me right for being so good,”he said.And Graham Brook of Six Towns Company of Archers was left counting the cost of a Robin Hood too...

He had problems pulling one of his compound arrows Lee Marshall out of the boss and found a longbow & Lauren Penn point wedged into the end. But none of the longbow archers had lost a point.The mystery deepens... And we know it wasn’t a Robin Hood – but was a pretty good shot when Mark Bennett of the Kirby Muxloe Archery Club in Leicestershire, managed to wreck the shaft of the flag used on the 60-yard boss. Normally the equipment officer would not be pleased Martin Poole but as it’s Mark, he really cannot complain too much! G

It affects her lower body and causes problems with balance, mobility and makes it difficult for her to stay still. But it didn’t stop her having a go at archery when she spotted it at a holiday park. And she was hooked. A beginners’ course at Deer Park Archers sealed the deal and that is when the hard work began. Phoebe, who is now 16 and shoots compound, was adamant that she was not going to use a stool when shooting – even though she needed one.The result was that she tired easily and it began to impact on her scores.

he earliest book of instruction in the use of the longbow was written by Roger Ascham (1515-1568), the future tutor of TPrincess Elizabeth and Edward VI. He was born in Kirby Wiske, near Northallerton,Yorkshire, and was a scholar of Greek and Latin. But he chose to write Toxophilus in an elegant and lucid English prose style. It was presented to Henry VIII and, in return, he was granted an annual pension of £10. The book consists of a dialogue between Philologus,a 3 lover of learning and Toxophilus, a lover of archery.

This is what Matilda had to say: “I gained my Junior Master Bowman award after the first day of the Junior Outdoor Archery Championships on 5 July. I was eight years and 147 days old, which I think might make me the youngest Junior Master Bowman? “I shoot on a compound bow at my club, North End Archers and in the run up to the Junior Nationals I practised three times a week with my coach,Terry Ducker. “I came third on both days in the under 12s for compound bows. “I only started archery the week after my eighth birthday. I really wanted a bow for my Matilda Craven birthday as I was fed up getting ‘girly’ presents and my brother getting all the fun ones! My Mummy and Daddy said I had to have lessons first before I had a bow of my own, so the lessons were my birthday present. This meant I had only been shooting for six months when I achieved my JMB.”

And Ben? He said:“I have been doing archery now for just over a year and really enjoy it. I am a member of Blandy Jenkins Hoods.The other members are great and I have Ben Walch made lots of new friends. “My favourite style is barebow and that is what I shoot.

UK archers shine at Show stealers Invictus Games

David Steve Hubber Gill ritish archers stole the show at the Invictus Games for wounded, injured and sick former service men and women, winning an impressive three golds, two silvers, three bronzesB – plus a fourth place. It was a clean sweep in the individual recurve competition as Army veterans went head to head. Britain’s David Hubber beat teammate Gary Prout in the gold medal clash while Steven Gill took bronze. He later said:“I was just shooting my stuff and firing away. So when they said stop and told me I’d won, I couldn’t believe it!” Gary reached the final by beating ’s Christopher Perrin, fellow Briton Samantha Livy and then Steven. David had to overcome challenges from, among others, the RAF’s Leigh Bland.Army sergeant Gavin Watson had earlier been edged out of a quarter finals place in a shoot-off. There was individual compound bronze for Army veteran Michael Hall – but it was bittersweet as it meant knocking teammate RAF veteran Carl Harding into fourth spot. He, in turn, had knocked the RAF’s Andrew Phillips out of contention. Novice Paul Twaites put in a fantastic performance to earn individual silver – and a team bronze with Gus Hurst and Declan O’Halloran. Michael Leigh And the good news kept on coming as Britain went Hall Bland on to take two team golds. Recurvers Gary Prout, David Hubber and Gavin Watson kept a clean sheet, beating both Australia in the semis and the Netherland 6-0 to take gold.And Michael Hall, Carl Harding and Andrew Phillips defeated the USA 216-213 to take the compound title. More than 100 former and current servicemen and women took up archery specifically for the Games and it was so successful that a bidding process is already under way to host future events. Jon Nott was the competition manager at the Games, held at the Olympic Park. He said: “The Games introduced a new audience to archery.The level of competition was fierce – and that made it captivating.” And the result is... The Invictus Games has made life pretty busy for Andover club Tenzone Bowmen. Members Gary Prout and Andy Phillips each won team gold and Gary also netted individual silver. The result has been a surge of interest from other injured service personnel who are receiving treatment at the nearby Tedworth House Recovery Centre. G

archers moving to their preferred back tension release aids this winter to ingrain that shot process, so when the outdoor season comes back they can move back to their trigger release aids knowing they have good technique.

58 JUDGES Aiming too high?

Words: Hannah Brown, Judges’ Committee Chairman

number of archers have been spoken to this season about their draw and told it needs to be modified.Why? AThe issue is important because archers 1A with dangerous/high draws can, and will, be removed from competitions.This is to protect all archers and to ensure our sport remains safe and insured. The rules talk about a draw that if accidentally released would cause the arrow to exceed the safety boundaries of the venue. Does that mean there is a difference between compound and recurve or senior and junior “high draws” 1B 1C given the differences in poundage and techniques? Here we see the archer drawing away from the face. Look where the arrow is Each case has to be assessed on an actually pointing. It is to the side, not at the archer’s target.Also note where you individual basis.This will determine when have to stand to notice it – judges, you will have to look from different angles to the archer is spoken to. If the problem is make the full assessment! immediate then expect to be told to rectify it at once, even if it is the middle of the shoot. If it is not urgent but could cause you problems in the future, the judge may deem it acceptable to speak to you or your coach or parent at the end of the shoot so you can change it for the next time. So what is a high or dangerous draw? What are the judges looking for at the shoot? 2A 2B As a really rough start, check the line of the bow hand and the draw hand. If the This type of draw that is becoming more popular. However, archers have to be bow hand is above the draw hand at careful. Dropping the drawing hand too any point during the draw phase then it far will increase the angle of the arrow could be considered high.Then have and thus create the “high draw” even if someone look at where your arrow is the bow hand isn’t particularly high.This pointing – does it look like it is pointing example is a little exaggerated to make excessively high when compared to the point, so be aware what the draw where you would aim for the long shot. hand is doing as well as the bow hand. What about the “dangerous draw”? 2C Here we look at archers who draw the bow in such a way that the arrow is not pointing at their target – those who pull away from the body and then back in to Disclaimer : These pictures were taken for demonstration purposes only, the face.

4A 4B 4C 4D

Now look at this draw.At first glance on image 3 the angle of the bow arm is such that it makes the draw look high. Lookat the arrow though, look at how flat it actually is. In image 4, the archer is coming back below his chin and then moving up to his reference point – now the bow is fully loaded, if the distance from the chin is significant, it could be deemed a dangerous and high draw.

5A 5B 5C

Another popular drawing technique where the bow is raised above the head at the pre draw stage – look how much pressure is on the string – if accidently released would it really exceed the safety ? Then the height drops as the archer draws into a perfectly acceptable position.

6A 6B 6C

7A 7B 7C

Two draws from the same archer. The acceptable draw in Image 6 to the classic high draw in Image 7. Look at the angle of the arrow in 6 as they draw compared to the angle when the archer is aiming – this takes into account the distance they are shooting. Don’t forget the lighter the bow,the higher it has to be, so we have to be aware that some archers will have higher draws than others.

On this shot, look at the arrow – it is level. However it is too high. It is well above where you would “expect” the line to be. Unlike image 5, the archer has drawn the bow all the way back with it held high then settles down, if accidently released this could exceed the safety boundary. 9E 9F

Another dangerous draw similar to image 1. Look where the arrow is pointing – the scope helps here – look where that is aiming. It is nowhere near the boss.
