Trevor Francis Trevor Frances, the founder of Bowmen of Bruntwood, has died in Natal, aged 94. He opted for archery after sustaining a spinal injury during the Second World War but could not find a local club. So, in 1950, he set up the club, originally named Cheadle Bowmen, with six other people. It now has more than 100 members and trained, among others, Olympian Charlotte Burgess and Paralympian Richard Hennahane. Trevor and his widow, Meg, eventually moved to South Africa.

70 years – part 3 Frank Lister looks back at a lifetime in archery
In 1944 Frank Lister helped to found White Rose Archers. He still shoots regularly – and after 70-plus years he has a few stories to tell. He spoke to club member Nigel Smethurst.
ore than 40 years ago I had a self-yew longbow made and MI’ve been shooting with it ever since. I’ve always shot in the Scorton Arrow with it – and won the Phillips cup three times. There I had the pleasure of meeting Ben Hird who wrote the famous book on the Scorton Arrow, and I’ve enjoyed the company once or twice of Robert Hardy, who is a notable authority on longbows and a bit of a character. I don’t shoot a lot now but I will go for the Bowyers’ Plate every year, usually the Yorkshire Archery Championships, and for the past 30 years in June we have gone to Dunster Archery Week, making a holiday of it. I’ve shot at quite a few places over the past 70 years. I joined Kirklees Field Archers who shot at Kirklees. We built a clubhouse and of course Robin Hood is buried there, his grave was in the middle of our field course. Eventually the land was sold for development and the club moved to the shooting ground.

old winter shoots mean only one thing to juniors across the Northern Counties – it’s time to take part in the region’s postal Photos by Robin Maryon competition. And it’s a great way to stay in practice for summer too! It is run over five months – and this year 12 Nethermoss juniors have been busy celebrating. Michael Rice (under-10 recurve), Logan Batt (under-12 compound), Heather Hughes (under-14 recurve) and Tom Rice (under-14 compound) all won gold medals. There were smiles too for Harrison Moss (under-14 recurve), Georgia Maryon and Kieran Shirley (under-16 recurves), who all took silver. And Georgia Gray, who had only been shooting for a few months and was taking part in her first competition, claimed under-12 recurve bronze! Tom also clinched cadet compound gold in the North Cheshire Bowmen Double WA Star. And they did pretty well at the Lancashire Junior Championships too. Georgia Gray added to her medals haul by claiming silver in her first outdoor competition. Ten-year-old Michael Rice had never shot a Bristol before – but that didn’t stop him winning. And his elder brother Tom broke a Lancashire record to become the county’s under-16s compound champion. It was also a good day for Georgia Maryon who took the under-16s trophy and Heather Hughes, who won bronze. ouisa Piper turned 12 and, a few days later, took part in her first Metric 4, scoring 1,314. As if that wasn’t enough, she also managed to shoot this perfectly arranged three-gold end.

undreds of archers descended on Lilleshall for the 2015 Photo by Emily Bryant Youth Festival for a week that included benchmarking, Hprofiling and a week of truly exciting shooting as Britain’s brightest young prospects went head to head. It coincided with some great news – that Sport England had awarded additional investment into Archery GB’s England Talent Pathway – but that was just the icing on the cake. What really shone through was the sheer potential among the UK’s young archers. Archery GB Events and Facility Manager, Jon Nott said: “The festival is clearly a huge learning experience in this format for the younger performers who all expressed that they want opportunities to compete, to better prepare them for such international tournaments in the future.” And they did not squander their chances. It was hard- fought all the way and resulted in some spectacular finals. But more than that, it was vibrant, competitive, fun, noisy – and a great way to share knowledge and experience. It is turning in to one of the major events in the youth calendar, giving the archers a real sense of what life could be like really like as an international. Performance Pathway Manager, Ceri Ann Davies said: “The event is growing in stature and is well supported by archers, parents and the event delivery team at Archery GB. It’s exciting to see the performances of our youth archers improving each year, to the point where now some of the junior head to head’s are truly world class. We will continue to grow this event next year.” TALENT: YOUTH YOUTH FESTIVAL TALENT: 34 ARCHERY UK AUTUMN 2015

One of Archery GB’s rising stars, Patrick Huston, answers your recurve questions.
It’s time to invest in my first Q recurve kit. What should I be looking for? Realistically your first limbs should you shoot. The Beiter button costs £80 Doing it properly is not going to be cheap.

And invest wisely in arrows and have them cut to the right on the riser, it will be perfect for most of a pressure button. Cheaper models are length – especially if you are going to your archery career. A 25in riser will prone to coming loose and wearing use a clicker.

In my opinion, clickers are crucial for your development. To start with I would recommend a magnetic clicker that sits out in front of the bow. This way as your draw length increases your arrows will not be too short as they would be with an on-bow clicker. Make sure to speak to a coach when setting up your clicker. Invest in functionality when you buy your quiver. Spend at least £25 and ensure you have all the pockets and storage you are going to need. And look for a tab with a platform. It is best to get to a shop and try them to see what fits your hand best. With stabilisers it is pretty much personal choice. As a rough guide the long rod should be about the same as your arrow length. And don’t forget the side rods and an adjustable v-bar. ADVICE ZONE: RECURVE ZONE: ADVICE 54 ARCHERY UK AUTUMN 2015

My heartfelt thanks My name is Martin Mycock and I recently realised a barmy idea. I spent most of June driving 2,600 miles around England visiting 17 different archery clubs. I did 18 shoots in three weeks to raise money for Help for Heroes. When I set off my target was to raise £1,000, this was very quickly raised so I increased it to £2,500. At the time of writing the fund now stands at over £4,200 and is still open in hope of raising more. www.justgiving.com/ArcheryForHeroes1651276642/ Everywhere I visited I was made welcome and had a great time meeting fellow archers. In many cases they turned out on evenings they wouldn’t normally shoot. PRIZE In some cases competitions and raffles were arranged to increase the fundraising potential. Their hospitality and generosity were, at times, overwhelming. It was a pleasure sharing the shooting line with you all. I have no doubt I’ll meet many of you again.
