How do I improve my archery?
The
best way to improve is to practise, practise, practise. However, if you don’t
get the improvement you are hoping for, you may wish to seek the help of
other archers.
The
club now has three trained coaches who are available to give you free advice
and coaching. They will only give you advice if you approach them. They
are Jean Clarkson, Andy Arnold and Nick Beeson.
Most
members want to know how they are progressing and enjoy the fun of taking
part in handicap events at the Club. To get a handicap you must shoot three
recognised rounds and submit the scores to the Records Officer. Ask one of
the training team which rounds to shoot and then tell the Field Captain so
that bosses at the right distance can be put out. Details of the recognised rounds, handicap rules and classifications
can be found in the GNAS Rules of Shooting available on the GNAS web site.
Under
the GNAS handicap scheme the junior club has an Handicap Improvement medal. This
is awarded to the junior archer with the greatest improvement in
handicap during the year (shooting at least 8 outdoor rounds). There are
also first, second and third class badges to be achieved for outdoor shooting
and indoor badges for the Portsmouth round shot at twenty yards. The Records
Officer awards classification badges. The club gives members their first
badges. You can either exchange your badge when you gain the next award or
pay for the badge (about £2).
