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).
