New Club – Belvoir Archers

Today, with the assistance of Mike Spare, the County Chairman, Nottinghamshire welcomes a new club to the county – Belvoir Archers. Belvoir Archers have their own ground at Barnstone, a small village in the south of the county. First arrows were announced by the whistle of the County Chairman, which was followed by a Founder Members Shoot – a closed club handicap National Round which was won by Sue Haynes who shot a very respectable 493. More information on the club can be found on www.belvoirarchers.co.uk

Belvoir Archers currently has 12 members shooting a mixture of Longbow, Recurve and Compound Bow styles.

Clout

Posted on January 1, 2010 by adminJanuary 10, 2013

Clout is a form of archery in which archers shoot arrows at a flag (known as “the Clout”) from a relatively long distance and score points depending on how close each arrow lands to the flag.

Scoring zones are defined by maximum radii from the flag pole. Each arrow scores points depending on which scoring zone it enters the ground in. An arrow embedded in the flag pole is counted as being in the highest scoring zone. If an arrow is lying on the ground, it is considered to be in the scoring zone in which its point lies.

The scoring zones may be marked on the ground. Where this is not practical, a non-stretch rope or chain marked with the radii of the scoring zones is attached to the flag pole and swept around it to determine which arrows are in which zones.

A designated person collects the arrows in each zone, sorts them into sets, and lays them on the ground. Each archer in turn points to his or her arrows and calls out the scores in descending order.

A single clout round consists of three dozen arrows, shot in ends of 6 arrows. Tournaments typically consist of a double clout round, in which a total of six dozen arrows is shot.
