    metric 252 equivalent

    Does anyone run a progression scheme like the 252 scheme for metic distances? if so how do you go about it and do you differentiate between the different bow styles by altering the scratch score for example. We are proposing to start a scheme in 2021 but are getting a little bogged down between...

    now heres a thing I hadnt noticed

    Borrowed some arrows to try put with my compound bow and I noticed they were fleched so the cock vane sat upright rather than to the side as for recurve bows. Now this makes perfect sense and I kick myself for not noticing mine were "wrong" but here'e the question. Has anyone noticed a...

    not a personal achievement but a thank you

    Just wanted to post up a "thank you" to david O'Carrol for running the Virtual Archery League again this winter. It was nice to receive another medal but I feel a bit of a fraud as the number of competitiors who actually finish their rounds makes the competition rather stunted in some classes. I...

    records not recognised by county association

    An odd one here that I am looking for clarification on. Organised a metric clout shoot last month and a number of junior county record scores were achieved. Now most of them had no previous score lodged because not many occasions to actually shoot clout locally but here is the problem. The...

    How's this come about then?

    reading the new issue of the AGB magazine and saw the list for the handicap improvement medals recipients. A small number of clubs had 2 entires. How did this come about at I was told that it was 1 per club per year and juniors dont count as people in this particular award. Needless to say the...

    new arrow design

    I have redesigned one of my arrows to gain an advantage when judging all of those line cutters.It hit the hinge on a foam boss at 80yds and did this after travelling through the foam. Not bad for 26# limbs as that distance. I claimed style points for the most impressive petticoat.

    got there at last

    Managed to get the third bowman score on wednesday needed to achieve the longbow classification. Wont improve my handicap though, I got some scores at shorter distances that are so far above my true average they will be difficult to chase down.

    a big thank you

    I had a problem with an Aidy Hayes bow I bought just over a year ago. It developed a crack in the belly wood so he asked that I return it for repair. When I got it back yesterday to say it was like new is an understatement, it is better than new. Belly wood replaced and nicely finished, no cast...

    oddity to classification scheme

    doing a bit of WA70m on wednesday with longbow and I scored as expected with a low 1st class score but was shooting alongside 3 lady archers of differing ages. One scored a very creditable 186 which is unsurprising for her but having taken a look at the scores required for junior lady at the...

    new national record set at Eastbourne double rose weekend

    Not my personal achievement, I came last in longbow but junior GB archer Nathan Thomas, who shot a 1190 in a Bristol III with a compound bow. This also gave him his 6 gold end badge several times over. His coach says there is still room for improvement.
