Neill White was the sole club representative to make the trip down to Redruth Archers on the 6th August and bravely (lol) represented Yelverton Archers wearing a borrowed club top where “I’m not John” shot longbow in the 70m WA1440 round and scored his 2nd MB qualifying score of 542.
On August the 19th & 20th three Yelverton Bowmen archers took part in the Exmouth Archers World Archery Weekend. Iain Lees braved the early conditions on the Saturday in the Compound WA50 round and scoring a respectable 500 which earned him a White WA target badge.

Iain shot again a highly respectable 1154 in the Men’s Compound WA1440 and gained another 2 awards of the Black Star 1100 WA badge and a Blue DCAS FITA star – well done!
Linda came in 2nd in the Ladies Barebow WA1440 with 599 points.
Neill managed 3rd in the Men’s Longbow WA1440 with a qualifying MB 50+ score of 473. Neill has subsequently put in a claim for is Master Bowman Classification, well done Neill.

Welcome to the second report of the 2023 outdoor shooting season! Overall it has been a busy month with archers taking an active part in a number of competitions, as well as working their way through the 252 award and AGB progress schemes.
Success in both the Brixham Open Rose and DCAS Summer Postal shows that since restarting after ‘lockdown’ the club is performing well when compared to other DCAS clubs.
Four new club records were set, one existing club record equaled, and four existing records beaten in May.
Certificates were awarded to the following archers:

The club had a really great start to the DCAS Summer Postal competition with 5 out of our 8 teams winning, which shows that as a club we are at least on a par with most of the rest of the Devon and Cornwall clubs, and currently better than some. However, as this was the first round I am sure that we will start to see the scores improving as the season progresses.
The following scores were entered for May:
Unfortunately the Longbow team were beaten by Exeter, who shot the highest score in Division 2 (553) and the third highest across both divisions.
We only shot enough rounds to enter two scores in our 4th Short Warwick team and they were beaten by Brixham ‘C’.
We also only had 3 juniors shooting in May, so we entered no score for the second junior team. However, the Junior A team are leading their Division so well done to Jack, Josie & Oliver.
Individually Jack is currently the highest scoring U16 Recurve Boy archer, so well done Jack.
After the first month the team standings are as follows:
We need to build on this success so can I please remind you all that this is a monthly competition so we all need to be shooting our Warwick rounds for entry into the June round. This is open to all club members who are currently capable of shooting the relevant distances.
Details of the competition can be found here.

Five Yelverton Bowmen archers took to the field in the Brixham Open Rose Competition on Sunday 28th May. The constantly changing wind and hot conditions made it challenging for all competitors who took part in the well organised event. The event was attended by clubs all over Devon and Cornwall, and included a full range of experience levels from Archery GB team members to one person who had been shooting for 12 weeks. Despite the changeable wind conditions all of our archers performed very well.
Jamie Pruden shot a Recurve Men’s Bristol II Round and despite only having his new arrows for a few weeks managed to score 908, with 142 hits and 36 golds. This further cements Jamie’s current Archer 1st Class status.
John Pengilley shot a Recurve 50+ Men’s Bristol III Round, and scored 1036, with 144 hits and 49 golds. This has set a new club record, and gives John 12 dozen arrows towards his Bowman 3rd Class status.
Corey Richardson shot a Compound U21 Men’s National Round and scored 550, with 72 hits and 35 golds, this was particularly impressive when you consider that Corey was shooting on the same boss as one of the Archery GB team members. Corey was presented with a medal and achieved six dozen arrows towards his Archer Class 1 status.
Linda Wright shot a Barebow 50+ Women’s Bristol II Round and scored 662, with 134 hits and 13 golds. This saw Linda presented with a competition medal, as well as achieving Black Rose badge, and gives Linda 12 dozen arrows towards her Bowman 3rd Class status.
Finally, Neill White shot a Longbow 50+ Men’s Hereford/Bristol I Round and scored 561, with 11 hits and 13 golds. This was a fantastic score and saw Neill presented with a competition medal, as well as achieving a Purple Rose medal (which is the highest possible). It also gave Neill his first score towards Master Bowman status. But above all that it also means that Neill can submit a claim for an Archery GB 50+ National Record, which currently stands at 547. Well done Neill, and I am sure the whole club wishes you well with your claim.
Phil Gillbanks, one of the judges on the day, said that he was glad to see Yelverton Bowmen coming to more competitions, and it would be good to keep that going. So if attending these competitions interests you please follow this link to the DCAS website where you can find a list of this seasons competitions.
The full results for the competition can be found on Ianseo.

Welcome to the first Records Officer Monthly report for the 2023 outdoor season. There is a lot of news to include in this report so it is substantially longer than I intend it to be for future months.
Firstly for those new to the club, or archery in general, the outdoor season runs from 1st January to 31st December every year. Which means that Classification and progress/252 rounds can be shot at any club outdoor session.
Archery GB have this season revised the outdoor classification and handicap schemes, and linked them to a revised set of age categories. Details of these changes. More information on classifications and handicaps can be found here.
A copy of each of the classification tables can be found in the Records Officer folder in the storage cabin at Widewell.
In order for the Records Officer to assess your classification level and handicap you will need to complete your Yelverton Bowmen Record Card and return it to me at the end of each month.
These cards should only be used for Classification rounds shot at either club shooting/target days or other Archery GB affiliated competitions (including DCAS). They should not be used for recording 252 or Archery GB Progress scores.
If you do not have your record card yet and are intending to shoot classification rounds please come and see me at a club shooting session.
Archery GB have also introduced a new progress scheme. This has not superseded the 252 scheme; the club has decided to run both schemes in parallel. Both schemes are designed to focus new and improving archers on progressing though their archery journey to the point of being able to commence classification rounds as soon as possible, and then rising up through the Archer and Bowman ranks.
More details of this scheme can be found here and score sheets and be obtained from here or can be collected from the records officer folder in the storage cabin at Widewell School. Completed score sheets should be signed by the archer and a witness, and handed to the Records Officer for assessment before a badge can be awarded.
The 252 Scheme is still running and score sheets are available to print from here or can be collected from the records officer folder in the storage cabin at Widewell. Completed score sheets should be signed by the archer and a witness, and handed to the Records Officer for assessment before a badge can be awarded.
The club have re-joined the DCAS Summer Postal competition and have 8 teams included in the event which runs from May to August. More information can be found on the DCAS Postal Competition page on the club website.
Any club member can take part in the competition providing they are able to shoot the relevant distance, i.e. have a 40 yard 252 to allow a Warwick 50 (previously Short Warwick) to be shot.
Scores must be recorded on a club Warwick score sheet, signed by the archer and a witness, as well as the field captain, and returned to me by the end of the month. We will need at lease 3 Long Warwick Compound individual scores, 3 Warwick Longbow individual score, 12 short Warwick combined (but not compound) individual scores and 6 Junior short Warwick combined (max 2 compound) individual scores each month. So please get your May scores in as soon as possible.
Note – DCAS have confirmed that scores submitted for the Summer Postal do not automatically count towards a Bowmen, however as they are intended to be shot on a club Target Day I see no reason why the club cannot count them.
The club has also introduced a outdoor season long Coronation Competition offering every club member the opportunity to win either a bronze, silver or gold medal. Medals will be awarded at the end of the season.
Details of the competition can be found on the Coronation Competition page on the club website.
As the club has declared that all outdoor sessions up to the end of the Coronation Competition are effectively classed as Target days in accordance with Rule 313, all scores shot in accordance with AGB rules and filed on a completed club score sheet can be counted towards Bowman classification.
Certificates were awarded for the following club records:
Badges were awarded for the following classifications:
Badges were awarded to the following archers:
On 23rd April 11 archers took the field to compete in the Yelverton Bowmen St Georges day competition. On a good day for shooting some impressive scores were shot, including 4 club records. The majority of archers shot either Archer or Bowman qualifying scores. The results card is shown below and due to the variety of ages, bow styles and rounds shot the club have awarded the following medals:
· Best Overall Score & Handicap – Corey Richardson – Score 414, Handicap 43
· Best Classification Ranking score – Linda Wright – Bowman 2nd Class
· Best Junior Score – J Cunningham – Score 326
An additional prize was awarded on the day of the competition to Steve Millard for the best outfit.
Only one Yelverton Bowman competed in this years DCAS Grand Day Out. Jamie Pruden shot a National round in testing, wet conditions and posted a score of 502. This saw Jamie placed 9th overall in the Senior Men’s Recurve category and gives him 6 dozen arrows towards his Bowman 3rd Class.
Congratulations to Jamie.
And congratulations to all of those who set records or received awards this month.

Records Officer, Yelverton Bowman
