    Stabilizers useful for a novice??

    There are several stabilizer setups. The usual one these days is to use a long rod with a Vbar and side rods. Else you can have the "side" rods in the top and botton bushings with a long rod in the middle - an "in-line" set up. As a novice it's usual not to load the bow up with all the extras...

    Bow measurement confusion

    It's all do do with whether you are under drawing or over drawing the bow. When you draw back a bow you bend the limbs - that is self evident I know - but for a set of limbs there will be an optimal range, below that you will not store enough energy and above that there will be decreased benefit...

    New - Archery GB Annualized Renewals

    Quite a few years ago now AGB offered all Regions the possibility of collecting all the fees and then pass it down to the Regions and Counties, not all agreed to this so it didn't happen. I don't know whether it's been discussed since the new membership system came into being, but it's still...

    Archery funding doubled

    You seem to be quite sure of this. From what I know AGB membership fund performance modestly for non-Olympic - ie Compound and Field. They get more than enough SportUK money for the Olympic side without taking from the membership money which is used to run the membership office - Child...

    Archery funding doubled

    But it does exist on its own. Several people have stated this - it's not just rue for archery, it's true for many other sports too. If the government funding went then the performance department would go. I'd opine that then Sport England would withdraw the development money it provides to the...

    Archery funding doubled

    Somehow or other that doesn't happen, there is an overall budget and it's pulled down as required. Successive annual finance reports will bear that out. You have to remember that UK Sport has been working with governing bodies for quite some years now and will be well aware of wage increases and...

    Archery funding doubled

    I'm really not sure why someone would be concerned about money being spent properly and then imply that it wouldn't be. Budgets are worked out in advance of grants being given so grants cover what is needed.

    Slow delivery from online archery shop

    True enough - much of what I order has come pretty quickly - several things I ordered needed assembled first so that took time. If there is a reason for the delay it would be reassuring to know.

    Slow delivery from online archery shop

    You can't really expect "normal" service at the moment as businesses have to work with fewer staff so they can socially distance. I've had several orders (of non archery things) take a few weeks even though one said they had caught up.

    AGB Membership Fees 20/21

    In a way the membership is tiered as tournaments organisers pay a fee for BRS or WRS which is passed on in the entry fees that members pay when they enter a competition. In that way it is transparent and only competitive archers pay it and pro rata. I worked out one tear that these fees had...

    Insurance

    You would have to ask the hirers of your facilities what they expect you to have in place. I'm not sure why no-one offered to help the elderly couple handle the insurance and the paperwork.

    AGB - no membership refunds

    So nothing from AGB and yet you can shoot Bowman scores which are part of the AGB framework s- if your club wasn't an AGB one you would not have heard of "Bowman" scores. BASC membership costs £82 per annum. Im not surewhy you say its insurance is wider than AGB's that only lets you shoot at...

    AGB - no membership refunds

    I understood from what I read that they had now furloughed all the office staff who are paid out of membership money. The rest of the staff are paid for by government money - Sport UK (performance) or Sport England (club development) funding and as they can't all work at their normal job some...
