Welcome from

Archery GB On behalf of Archery GB, may I offer you a warm welcome to our fifth National Series Grand Final.

Contents

you a fantastic day of top class archery with I promise plenty of twists and turns before we finally know the

identity of the 2013 champions.

This year marks the start of a three year partnership between Archery GB, Nottingham City Council and The Nottingham Building Society, together we aim to build on our previous successes and ensure the National Series Final gets bigger and better each year. I would like to thank all our sponsors for their continued support, without which, we would be unable to deliver such a prestigious event.

I wish all 16 archers the very best of luck. We have had five fantastic tournaments leading up to today’s big event, and those who have qualified for the Grand Final have done it by shooting both superbly and consistently. They thoroughly deserve to be here. And once again the organisation of the National Series has been top class, and I salute the team behind it.

So enjoy the day, enjoy the competition, and thank you to both the archery community, and to newcomers to our sport, for joining us, and making the National Series Grand Final worthy of the occasion.

A history of

Wollaton hall When he began the building of Wollaton Hall in 1580, Sir Francis Willoughby was one of the richest young men in England.

Built on a hill in his deer park, the new hall, with its lofty towers and soaring Prospect Room, was visible for miles around

L

By 1588, when the hall was completed, Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne, the Spanish Armada was defeated, and young William Shakespeare was producing his first play in London. Sir Francis Willoughby was also bankrupt, having spent all his fortune building the hall.

Although some alterations were made to the Hall at the end of the 17th century, it remained as it had been built until the beginning of the 19th century. Then Henry, 6th Lord Middleton, had the interior extensively altered to make the Hall more modern, comfortable and secure, at the time of the Reform riots which saw the burning down of the original Nottingham Castle. This is Wollaton Hall as it is today.

In 1925, the City of Nottingham bought Wollaton Hall and Park and, in the following year, the Hall opened to the public as a new Museum of Natural History.

Then, in 2005, a multi-million pound restoration programme began. The fabric of the Hall was extensively renovated, access was improved by the installation of a lift, visitor facilities were modernised and some rooms were re-created to show how they might have been at various times in the history of the Hall. In the basement the old coal-fired boilers were removed and the Tudor kitchens brought back to life.

Some of the more interesting features include the dramatic scenes from Greek legends on the staircases, painted in 1699 by the French artist Louis Laguerre. A few years later, the English painter Sir James Thornhill added to Laguerre’s work as well as painting scenes of his own.

In the South Great Chamber, part of the royal suite, you will encounter George the stuffed gorilla, the best loved specimen in the collection. George was bought by the Natural History Museum in 1879.

During Summer 2011, Wollaton Hall became Wayne Manor, when it was used as a location in the filming of The Dark Knight Rises Discover Wollaton Hall and Deer Park for yourself. Entry to Wollaton Hall and the Deer Park is FREE. Why not take a look around the courtyard shop and have a well deserved tea and cake in the café in the courtyard. Car park charges apply.

Wollaton Hall and Museum are open from: March to October, everyday from 10am - 5pm (last entry 4.30pm) November to February, Thursday – Monday, 10am - 4pm (last entry 3.30pm) The Deer Park gates open as follows (all year round): Weekdays - 8am Weekends and Bank Holidays - 9am Contact details: Wollaton Hall, Gardens & Deer Park Wollaton Park , Wollaton Nottingham, NG8 2AE United Kingdom Telephone: 0115 8763100 Email: wollaton.hall@nottinghamcity.gov.uk What’s on at Wollaton?

The Basic Guide to Recurve Matches The aim of archery is simple: to shoot arrows as close to the centre of a target as possible. The targets are 122 cm in diameter, with the gold ring at the centre measuring just 12.2cm and worth a maximum 10 points. Archers shoot at the target from a distance of 70 metres.

Shooting Format

At the National Series Finals, each match is played in a knockout format. Matches are played over the best of five sets, with each set consisting of three arrows per archer.

The winner of each set is awarded two points. If the scores are tied, each archer receives one point. The winner will be the first archer to six points; if the match is tied after five sets, they will enter into the shoot off procedure.

Teams will shoot together, but only one archer at a time from each team may be in front of the one metre line.

The archer may shoot one or two arrows before leaving the shooting line.

The Compound Mixed Team round will be shot at 50 metres on an 80cm face. The Recurve Mixed Team round will be shot at 70 metres on a 122cm face. Matches are played over the best of four sets of four arrows (two arrows per archer) which must be shot in 80 seconds.

The match will be decided on the team aggregate score.

In the event that the scores are tied, there will be a team shoot-off, comprising one set of two arrows (one per archer) shot in 40 seconds. The team with the higher score for their two arrows will win; if the score is tied the team with the arrow closest to the centre will win; if still tied the arrow second closest to the centre will determine the winner.

The winners of each match qualify for the next round, until the last two archers go head to head in the final.

The Basic Guide to Compound Matches The aim is to shoot arrows as close to the centre of the target as possible. The targets are 80cm in diameter, with the gold ring at the centre measuring just 8cm and worth a maximum of 10 points. Archers shoot at a distance of 50 metres.

Matches are played over the best of five sets, with each set consisting of three arrows per archer. The match will be decided on the aggregate score after five sets. If the match is tied after five sets, they will enter into the shoot off procedure.

The winners of each match qualify for the next round, until the last two archers go head to head in the final.

The Shoot Off

If a match is tied, the shoot-off will consist of both archers shooting simultaneously as many arrows as they wish within one minute, with the arrow closest to the centre winning the match.

The Basic Guide to Mixed Team Matches

Teams

There are mixed team events for both bow styles (Compound and Recurve). For each bow style, teams of two archers will be formed as follows: Team A.

Top place Junior Gentleman and second place Junior Lady

While you’re watching Please remain seated and be as quiet as possible when the archer pulls back the bow string.

Flash photography and laser pointers are not permitted, and mobile phones should be switched off or set to silent.

Team B.

Robin Hood

Behind the legend The legend and tales of rebellious hero and master archer Robin Hood have been intrinsically linked to Nottingham for generations.

T

he Sheriff of Nottingham and Nottingham itself appear in early Robin Hood ballads, and Sherwood is the setting of the earliest known ballad Robin Hood and the Monk, from around 1450.

The stories of Robin Hood were written in simple rhymes, making it easy for travellers and storytellers to pass on the tales. Robin is known as the world’s most famous outlaw – travelling around ancient Sherwood Forest with his Merry Men, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. These heroes of the people were a thorn in the side of the establishment, rebelling against high taxes and unfair treatment by the king.

Robin is also reputed to have been an expert archer. In medieval England the sport was hugely popular, with most young

14

men taught how to shoot a bow – it was even a legal requirement at the time that a father provide his sons with a bow and two arrows.

The longbow is traditionally 5-6ft tall, hence the name, and actually firing from a medieval longbow took some effort in comparison to today’s modern bows. Draw weight could be up to twice as heavy (tight) than current bows and arrows.

Given the size and effort, it seems unlikely then that Robin would have practised archery from horseback.

The preferred wood for making a longbow was yew and it is thought that making one could take up to four years as the wood had to be treated and dried.

Archery takes on a particular relevance in the Robin Hood legend during the tale of the Silver Arrow competition. Did

Robin really split an arrow? The legend comes from the ballad the Gest of Robin Hood where Robin disguises himself to defeat the Sheriff in the competition.

Early references mention Robin ‘splitting the Wand’ which was a small piece of wood placed against the target. Whilst it wasn’t quite as difficult as an arrow tail, it would still have taken a practised archer to achieve such a feat. robin Hood around Nottingham Why not take a picture with Robin Hood? The famous outlaws statue stands, aiming his bow and arrow, outside Nottingham Castle. Pick up a souvenir bow and arrow of your own from the castle gift shop, and pose along with him!

Take a walk along the Robin Hood trail, around Nottingham city centre, and learn more about the history of the city and the legend. You can pick up a route leaflet from the Tourist Information Centre in the Exchange Arcade.

Visit Sherwood Forest, and see Major Oak, the centuries-old tree reputed to have been the hiding place of Robin and his men.

Nottinghamshire the spiritual home of archery!

Try your hand at archery at several venues around Nottinghamshire. During main visitor periods, it is not uncommon to see have-a-go archery taking place near the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, as well as at the annual Robin Hood festival.

Other activity centres around Nottinghamshire where you can practise your archery include One4All Group at Langar Karting and Quad Centre, Adrenalin Jungle near Rufford, and Nottingham Dirt Buggies near Newark.

We even have archery manufacturers in Nottinghamshire, head to KG Archery near Ollerton and to get the chance to see traditional longbows being made – they even do archery lessons too.

What’s on in Nottingham This autumn, we’ve got a fantastic array of events to keep the kids entertained, including many free and great value days out.

evolution

of the bow Archery GB resident historian Arthur Credland takes us through the evolution of the Bow from ancient times to moden day!

T

he origins of the bow can be traced to the Mesolithic (up to 10,000 BCE), and by the Neolithic a variety of bow types can be evidenced from the archaeological record. The primary function was to project an arrow to kill prey and provide food but inevitably it became a weapon too, whether for defence or to attack rivals.

As the fifteenth century progressed field artillery became more effective and the longbow began to fade in importance but it was not to be abandoned as a military weapon till well into the sixteenth century. Henry VIII was a keen advocate of artillery who encouraged the casting of iron cannon at the furnaces scattered across the Kentish Weald.

The most basic bow is the self bow a single stave of wood, with the string tied at either end. There were also bows made of two kinds of wood glued together like those found in Scandinavia and across northern Asia. A variety of woods were used but most familiar to us in western Europe was the self yew bow, the stave trimmed in such a way that the different properties of the sap wood and heart wood can be combined, without the need for gluing together separate components. The former has high tensile strength and becomes the back of the bow while the heart wood withstands compression and becomes the belly of the bow.

At the same time he promoted and encouraged the practise of archery and the use of the crossbow, and the Tudor king’s personal body guard the Yeoman of the guard, still carried the bow. Henry also awarded a life pension to Roger Ascham for his book Toxophilus which recounted the former glories of the bow and was an instruction manual in its use both for recreation and war. Appropriately it is the wreck of King Henry’s warship Mary Rose which has provided us with the most abundant archery remains, scores of bows and arrows, which have been preserved in the mud of the English Channel.

Initially, as is still found on the simple bows still found in parts of Africa and Asia, the string is simply tied fast to the roughly tapered ends of the bow. Later notches were cut to receive loops made at the ends of the bow string.

Then separate horn nocks were glued to the ends of the bow which could be replaced if they showed signs of wear.

The bows used by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans were probably ‘short bows’ but types of ‘long bow’, as tall as a man, were certainly in use in Iron Age Europe. The British longbow evolved as an increasingly effective battlefield weapon during the Middle Ages reaching its apogee at Crecy (1346) and Agincourt (1415) where it was used to annihilate the flower of French chivalry. Massed ranks of archers shot a cloud of arrows, some penetrating through chinks in the enemies armour, or piercing the face when a visor was lifted for better vision and to breathe fresh air. The majority of missiles however galled and frightened the horses, creating a melee of knights and mounts. Men were thrown from the saddle to the ground, exposing them to attack by the English who had dismounted and waited for the French attack to lose momentum.

During the late sixteenth century and the first half of the seventeenth century the town or village butts, where all ablebodied men were supposed to practice with the bow gradually fell into decay. Firearms, the musket and caliver, and the pike, ousted the bow and became the standard arms of the militia. Sunday was the day most readily available for exercise but recreational archery, was greatly criticised by the Puritan element in society which wanted the Sabbath to be kept strictly for attending church and reading the bible.

In the larger towns, as the urban sprawl expanded, areas traditionally free for archery, like Finsbury Fields in London, were being encroached on. Increasingly therefore archery was restricted to groups of gentlemen on their country estates, or yeomen coming together to draw the bow, using a piece of common land, and enjoying a convivial meeting at the local public house.

Thus started the Scorton Arrow competition in Yorkshire in 1673, in which a silver arrow was shot for in the neighbourhood of Richmond. Open to allcomers, by the middle of the eighteenth century it was dominated by the gentlemen of two local

19

clubs, the Richmond Archers and the Darlington Archers. It survives to this day open to all contenders except for women.

The archery clubs of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century were dominated by the aristocracy and country gentlemen, and women were an increasing presence on the archery field. By the second half of the nineteenth century women formed the majority of members in the most successful clubs. Men had less and less time free from business, while women of comfortably off households with servants had lots of hours to fill. Threats of war took away many men to train with the volunteer regiments and practice shooting at the local rifle club. Those clubs which restricted membership to men were in serious decline.

The upheavals of the Great War and the economic woes of the 1920s and 1930s killed off quite a few old established clubs and the popularity of tennis and the attractions of social life in the tennis club also took its toll on archery.

New technology showed that the future of the traditional wooden bow had a rival on the international competitive stage. The Swedish steel bow made by ‘Seefab’ appeared before the 1939-45 war, but its heyday was delayed by the hostilities until the late 1940s and 1950s.

A British rival appeared in the form of the ‘Apollo’ series of steel take-down bows made by Accles and Pollock of Birmingham. Aluminium arrows became the norm and the fibre glass bow made its appearance. The wooden bow was out of fashion and no longer had sufficient power and cast to be used successfully in competition.

Subsequently new materials such as carbon fibre have been used to create light powerful bows which the archer can hold 20

in steady aim with the aid of stabiliser rods to reduce torque and twist. In addition there is the compound bow, or ‘wheelie bow’, which can generate huge propulsive power without the need for massive muscle strength to draw back the string.

In response to the ‘march of science’, and the making of instruments which look less and less like a bow as we used to know it, there has been a strong movement to bring back traditional bows.

curve is a transitory form between the other two and serves as the “default” option. The real difference between traditional and compound shooting is the difference in the archer.

A new generation of traditional bow makers has grown up and groups like the British Longbow Society devote themselves to the encouragement of shooting with bows, often yew and mostly based on those used by the club shooters of the Victorian era.

The Grand National Archery Meeting which began at York in 1844 as the national championships is still an annual archery event and brings together all strands of the sport, the longbow, all the latest compound and high tech bows.

Participants of all ages, men and women, from teenagers to the over 70s, able-bodied and disabled, come together for a competition which is the epitomy of the great tradition of British archery.

Arthur G. Credland The Recurve Bow The distinguishing feature of a recurve is the reverse curves at the ends; from the handle, the bow limbs curve gracefully toward the archer, then curve away at the ends. These reverse curves “re-curve,” giving the bow its name. The recurve design produces a faster and more powerful shot than a traditional bow of comparable draw weight.

Traditional Bow The traditional bow is often called a longbow, though the terms are not actually interchangeable. A traditional bow is one that does not have the reverse curving limbs; the bow shape is a simple arc from one end to the other. If the bow is about five feet or taller, it’s a longbow. A bow made from a single piece of wood (or other material) is called a “selfbow.”

Compound Bow The newest style of bow is the compound bow, invented in the mid-20th century. This bow features pulleys and/or cams on the ends of the limbs, with a long string that criss-crosses the bow multiple times. One limb usually has an elliptical cam, which produces a sudden reduction in the draw weight of the bow when a certain point is reached. Compound bows build up considerable force, which allows for a more accurate shot.

Which One Is Best?

As usual, “best” is a relative and subjective term. Which bow is best for a given archer depends almost entirely on the archer’s temperament, personality, preferences and goals. The re21

Currently there are over 850 registered archers who shoot at 16 different clubs across the City and County, we have several school clubs who also shoot on a regular basis.

Once trained up new archers can compete at any of our competitions held across the county and shoot for medals and trophies including the famous Sheriff of Nottingham’s Golden Arrow, of Robin Hood fame, which is still shot for annually and until recently was regularly Taster sessions like the one held being held today and shot at Wollaton Hall on the parkland in front of the manned by volunteers from clubs across the county, are hall.
