Since you're enforcing the dress code so strictly, do you think it might
be a good idea to cite it in your announcement, or failing that, to
provide a pointer to a place in your website that actually outlines the
dress code requirements? I just took a quick trip through
<http://www.dyfedarchers.org.uk/>
looking for anything having to do with the dress code, and came up dry.

Not, mind you, that I think that the website is in any other way
deficient -- I don't. It's just that this appears to be a sore point,
and hence one that might be explicated a bit better.

Great - that is half term week so gives me a good reason to go down to
see my parents with the boys and take eldest to the shoot.

Entry for printed off and comments about dress noted. We are good for
the top half, but will have to search out a better green for the bottom
half, white is easier but not terribly practical for a 12yo boy.

Mike, Looking at you email, you could be on Christmas Island or in the USA?
The dress code is not specific to Dyfed Archers but it is laid down by the
National body, the GNAS.

Rule 307 states:-

"(e) Colours
(i) The recognised dress of the Society is plain dark green or white. There
is no objection to wearing green and white garments together. Minor piping
on the garments is permitted."

All U.K. archers will be aware of this and we need to draw attention to the
fact that we will obey it. Thanks for your interest. Will we see you
there?

Cheers,

Dave

[etc]
In any case, it's stated very clearly on the entry form, as the
questioner would have seen had he looked.

Dave, the entry form says that compounds are to shoot at the 3-spot
face. Do you happen to know how compound barebow might be classified,
given that it's not a recognised style for target archery? I've got
two lads who might be interested (14 and 12), but they usually shoot
field, in which CBB is a valid style. Would they be classed with CUL
or with BB? If it's any help, in field senior CBBs shoot with other
unsighted archers from the blue peg, generally at shorter distances
than their sighted brethren.

Thanks
Fran

To my surprise I found the right colour trousers in my local market.
There are also some schools that use green jogging suits for PE, and
they can be a good source of the right colour. It's a bit of a
nightmare though, because it's such an awkward colour :(

Thank goodness, my club registered sensible black lower garments to go
with our club top. I can put the green away now except for when I'm
judging.

-------------------------------------------
Hi, Fran, This is what Chris has said:-
As Fran mentions and as we discussed, the compound barebow is a separate
bowstyle and not a recognised within the target archery rules of shooting.
We would be happy to accept entries under the usual conditions but on that
basis would not expect to make awards for a "representational" entry. The
accepted practice, (GNAS & WAA), is to award medals based on the entries for
each category (Lady, Gent, JG U14 etc.) within each bowstyle, this seems to
be based on four or more nationally. Dyfed AA has, in the past, viewed the
entry on merit and if we did start to see interest and competition between
CBB archers medal(s) would be awarded on that basis. The County Championship
has always tried to encourage and reward where considered appropriate,
especially for junior members.
Unlimited compounds shoot on the three spot face to limit arrow damage.
Unless specifically requested I would allocate any CBB entry to a 60 cm
face.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks, that's brilliant. The problem only arose this year for us,
because the older of my CBB boys changed age groups. Until then,
they'd always been allocated full faces with other youngsters.

Now to get the form filled in...

Why not email Chris and ask for a 'Read Receipt'?

His email was working this evening as I had two from him.

Hi, Fran, Chris usually sends me a copy for the web. I'll add a note to
that effect when I get a copy.
