The club has five members who are qualified archery coaches who are in attendance at most club nights to offer help and advice. If you have a question you wish to ask the coaches, click here.
The coaches have themselves embarked on training courses to increase their knowledge and improve their teaching techniques so that the club can provide its members with the best coaching available to them.

Whilst the club's coaches take time to ensure that members look after their equipment correctly, sometimes the unexpected happens. At the 2007 National Championships, Gillian Brown managed to get a 'Robin Hood', shooting one arrow into the end of another. Not only did she manage to do it with her own arrows, but it was managed shooting from 60 yards away!!

Do you know your Albion from your Warwick, or your Bray I from your Portsmouth? If all these terms confuse you, click here to find out all about different rounds.
In target archery there are 2 scoring systems, 5 zone or 10 zone. The 5 zone scoring is used for outdoor GNAS Imperial rounds like the York. Hereford and Bristol rounds. The 10 zone scoring is used for all FITA (metric) rounds and indoor GNAS rounds (Portsmouth and Bray's)
Where an arrow touches the line separating the scoring zones, it is known as a "line cutter", and the higher scoring value is awarded.

However, always ask a Judge if in doubt about a score
