Nottinghamshire Archery Society Senior Team Selection 2022

Posted on by March 4, 2022

Target Selection Criteria

The team will be selected on the best two scores shot at any 12 dozen record status shoots between 1st April 2022 and 30th July 2022, whilst recognising that Government Covid-19 restrictions and Archery GB guidance will need to be followed.

The 12 dozen record status rounds that will be accepted are:

  • UKRS York/Hereford
  • WRS WA1440 Gents/Ladies
  • WRS Double WA720 (only one double round score to be accepted)

Scores from Nottinghamshire competitions will be collated by the Team Manager; for competitions elsewhere archers will need to submit official results sheets to the Team Manager (teammanager@nottsarchery.co.uk). The deadline for score submission is 30th July 2022.

Scores for the WA rounds will be converted to equivalent York/Hereford scores using the Handicap Tables, enabling a squad ranking for each bow style and gender to take place. In the event of a tie the score from the County Championships will be used to decide overall squad ranking.

Team selections will be reviewed by the NAS Chair and Vice Chairs before being released.

Eligibility

Archers must be affiliated to NAS, EMAS and Archery GB.

Juniors must enter as seniors and shoot the senior distances to be eligible. Their scores will still be eligible for the Junior Team (to be converted by the Junior Team Manager to their age equivalent score using the Archery GB handicap tables).

Masters must shoot the senior distances (Masters rounds are not eligible)

 

Team

The selection criteria will be used to select the team to represent Nottinghamshire from 4th September 2022 to 30th July 2023.

The EMAS inter counties competition (Thoresby tournament) is on 4th September 2022. The team will be confirmed as soon as practical after 30th July 2022.

The full Thoresby team :

  • Recurve – 6 ladies recurve (4 to count), 8 gents recurve (6 to count)
  • Compound – 3 ladies compound (2 to count), 4 gents compound (3 to count)
  • Longbow – 2 ladies longbow (1 to count), 3 gents longbow (2 to count)
  • Barebow – 2 ladies barebow (1 to count), 3 gents Barebow (2 to count)

These numbers may be reduced depending on the available capacity at the host club or other counties to produce teams. In the event that the minimum number of archers to make a mixed team in a bow style are not available then no team in that bow style will be entered.

For other matches team sizes are to be mutually agreed with the opposing team manager.

NEWS & VIEW FROM THE CHAIR NOVEMBER 2021

Posted on by April 17, 2022

Well, another outdoor season comes to an end, at least the covid restrictions around the field have been lifted, I hope everyone had a good shooting season and I will see you indoors, I hope. Again, I ask those clubs that are lucky enough to have an indoor venue who have space to offer it to visitors. We must help each other.

AGB are proposing to change the junior age groupings to bring them in line with World Archers so keep an eye as they may be introduced for next outdoor season which will probably cause a little confusion at the beginning. AGB have also changed the names of the Imperial rounds as it appears there was some embarrassment incurred when shooting the shorter rounds This is referred to as rule 308 (a). Tournament organisers need to take note. You can find this info quickly in the Autumn 2021 Archery UK magazine page 81. There have also been changes to rule 306(j), this is pertinent to archers as it refers to scoring pass through arrows outdoors.

The Winter online Frostbite challenge is up and running again this winter, thanks to Lizzie of Beeston Rylands. As you should know it is a monthly personal challenge run online with monthly winners who receive a certificate. The entry form is on the county website and FB page and is completely free to enter.

The Intermediate winter training is underway at Joseph Whitaker school run by Mario (CCO), good shooting and listen to your coaches. Hopefully I can pop in and see how it’s going.

Next year it is Nottinghams turn to host the junior intercounty championship (Sydney Bond). So, the committee are looking for tenders to host this UK record status shoot. Our juniors did a great job this year and won again but it was close I understand.

For those that did see me on my first year as a candidate judge, I hope you were not disappointed with my decisions. You will see me in the green jacket again at the Notts indoor champs and the Sherwood archers Portsmouth.

Finally, my club Greasley Castle Archers has had an influx of archers. It appears that standing on a field shooting is a very safe covid sport. I hope all the county clubs are having the same interest?
