THE OFFICIAL GNAS TARGET RANKINGS 2008

This year a total of 337 archers completed the required shoots to feature in the 2008 Rankings, a significant increase on last year. It is particularly good to see reasonable numbers of Scottish and Northern Irish archers in the lists. No doubt this is partly due to the increase in FITA 70m and Olympic Rounds in their areas.

Some of the 2008 Paralympians feature in these all-embracing rankings, notably Danielle Brown and John Stubbs. Members of our Olympic team are also present but others have not qualified simply because they were concentrating on their Olympic preparations.

There are a few archers who have featured in the lists every year for the last 10 years. These include Naomi Folkard, Simon Needham, Carol Morris-Lewis, Terry Course, Chris White and also Michael Peart and Jon Nott, although these last two have changed bowstyles. Other archers have been in the lists since 1995 but have missed the occasional year; a good handful of archers have 8 and 9 consecutive years in the rankings.

The performance of Chris White must be highlighted. He has been in every rankings list for the last 12 years and, more significantly, he has been the Number One Gents Compound archer for the last 10 years.
