County Coaching for Juniors

 

  • Open to all juniors (up to 18) who want to improve their archery.
  • All bow styles are welcome.
  • Archers will need to have their own personal equipment including a minimum of 6 arrows. There will be an emphasis of working towards or taking part in competition and archers should be able to show evidence of having shot at least three rounds.
  • Archers need to be accompanied by an adult.
  • It is desirable that the junior should have a personal coach. Where this is not possible efforts will be made to pair the junior with a personal coach.
  • The sessions will aim to support the work with the personal coach to achieve continuity of coaching.
  • They will take place bi-monthly at Eaton Manor. The sessions will be subsidised by the County but a small charge on the day will be taken to help cover costs.
  • Sessions run between 1:30 and 4:30.

New National Longbow/Barebow Rankings league in association with AGB.

Please see below a letter recieved from 

Barry Du-Crow and Paul Gregory of the Longbow Ranking committee

 

Hi all LB Ladies and Gents.

To compliment the AGB rankings system and make the season a bit more exciting myself and Paul Gregory from Southampton AC have secured sponsorship from the "Longbow Shop" in the form of winners trophies and 2nd 3rd medals in the following categories. GMB, MB, Bowmen and below, for both Ladies and Gents. These are based on your classification at the start of the season.

I have been in discussion with Jon Nott of AGB and he is in full support and has offered his assistance and publicity.

The website is ready at   https://sites.google.com/view/uk-longbow-ranking/home

The required rounds to gain a ranking and league position for both Longbow and Barebow are….2 x WA720 rounds 2 x wa1440 rounds and 1 x York/Hereford (depending on whether Gent or Lady) These must be Record status tournaments.

I will be entering the results from published scores and also Jon Nott informs me that there will be a page on the AGB site for Longbow archers to submit their scores throughout the season, these will be mailed to me (and entered as provisional results until I see the tournament results published)

Jon Nott expressed a desire to increase the competing longbow archers from 37 (on last years rankings table) to 100. This is something we will strive to do.

An important part of our league is that we are rewarding 1st 2nd and 3rd in all classes which gives much more encouragement to those climbing up the ladder so to speak.

We view this first year as very much work in progress and would like to develop the league with maybe adding a Championship division for Archers up to 1st class with shorter distance tournaments NON record status and also a junior league

 

Look forward to hearing your views

Barry Du-Crow

Longbow Ranking committee

 

PS. We have also mirrored the system for Barebow and have Nick Hayball from Southampton AC who will run this.

The barebow league have now gained sponsorship from “The Archery Shop” in Bournemouth.

As well as trophies and medals the barebow league has gained £200 of prize money in archery shop vouchers in £30 awards for first in each category sponsored by partsland.co.uk.

Success for County Junior at NIMES

Huge congratulations to Penny Healey, a member of Bowbrook Archers, SAS, and WMAS, who, at the age of twelve, has won GOLD in the Recurve Youth Girls category. Fifteen points clear of the runner up, she won GB's first Gold of the event in Nimes, France.

Well done, Penny.
