This issue represents one year since I took on the job of newsletter editor. One of my biggest concerns at the time was where would I get all the content from ? Fortunately my fears were unfounded and I actually now find the opposite to be true as I struggle to keep each issue to 10 or 12 pages. It would be most remiss of me not to thank the band of regular contributors who have kept these pages full but it would also be nice to see some new names at the bottom of this page so if you have something to contribute why not get in touch ? The coming outdoor season also heralds the end of the beginners courses and thus new faces on the line each week. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome those just joining us. Don’t be afraid to ask us existing members questions -- we really are quite friendly. Finally let me repeat my plea for all those members who have e-mail to let us know. Good shooting.

For most of us this shoot marked the end of the winter season. We can now look forward to warm summer days, longer distances and hunting for arrows! A total of 21 archers from Mayflower shot over the three sessions during the day. Notable performances were from Graham Pallett, Roger Glover and George Fenton, all of whom shot personal bests. Kerry Hodder also had a welcomed return to form after her illness, winning the ladies recurve section, although I am sure not with a score she will be happy with! It was great to see Tony Ikel again after his long period of illness and to hear the cheer that went up as he arrived to judge the second session, welcome back Tony. Both Compound and Recurve team trophy winners were from Mayflower, although the recurve team actually took the silver medals, being beaten by a team from outside the county - Aquarius (the trophy must stay within county apparently) - sorry chaps! Session medals went to Mitch Vaughan, Philip Glover, George Fenton, Tom Pow, Kerry Hodder, Michael Judd.

Your clubs annual general meeting was held on March 16th at Mayflower School. A brief excerpt of some reports is included here (with apologies to all committee members for my cuts—ed) . Minutes will be available shortly from either the editor or from our website. The current committee were all returned to their positions. Chairman 2004/5 has not been without its difficulties and there were times when I wondered what I had let myself in for. It started with consideration having to be given to new directives on “Child Protection”. This resulted in changes to club and parental responsibility and unfortunately, certain restrictions on the movement of junior members, when they are in the club’s charge. New directives swiftly followed, from GNAS, On “Health and Safety”. As you are all aware, the result of these rendered our existing outdoor facility almost impossible to use, if we were to remain within the terms of our insurance. Whilst we were offered a new ground, possession was not available until after the end of August, which effectively ruled out its use for 2004. These along with some other unusual problems made it seem like a baptism of fire at times. It was not all bad news though! The year again saw our members excel themselves, shooting in competition and for County and Country. Mostly due to the tireless efforts of Robert Markham, we now have a very good website, which is used extensively by other club members and we have held our first FITA, which will have record status in 2005. We also have the highest number of members in the clubs history, with around forty potential new members, at present taking our beginners course. Just to round the year off, we also had our most successful “Steam Rally” yet. The club ends the year in a very healthy position, both for finance and equipment and we can look forward to a less problematic year. However, this report would not

(Continued from page 2) be complete without thanking all those members who have given their time in supporting the club’s activities during the year, whether it was assisting in coaching at the beginners courses, helping at the steam rally, the FITA or any other activity. Two special mentions I would like to make are to Lynn and John Burdett for again organising the “Christmas Dinner” and Brian Edwards for all his hard work in getting the new field prepared. Membership Officer The 2004 year saw our membership grow to a record level of 121 members, represented by 70 seniors and 51 juniors. It is interesting to note that Essex is the largest county in the country for membership with 54 registered clubs and 1458 archers. Our club is now one of the largest in the county with 8% of the total number of Essex archers. Both our size and our success with senior and junior archers has helped to make our club well known throughout the region and indeed the country. It is worth remembering that the lifeblood of our club remains our participation in the Essex Country Show and the running of a successful beginners course each year. I am pleased to say that this year we have seen a total of 35 new beginners who are completing the course at the moment and hopefully we will see a good number of these join as members. Our thanks should go to Alf Barber and his team of helpers for giving up their Saturday mornings to run the course and to all our members that helped to make the recruitment process at the Essex Country Show such a success.

Following on from the Longbow, for the second of these articles we will move on to another style of bow, whose origins are lost in the mists of time, the Composite Bow. Before I start on the words, I thought a bright picture would make a good heading.

Above is a picture, taken from a papyrus, showing the young Tutankhamen, Pharaoh 1333 – 1323 BCE using a nicely decorated composite bow to practice his archery (note the duck descending nose first into the reeds). If you look at the string position as well, you will see that it goes behind his head. Other pictures of Egyptian archers also show the same style of draw, I don’t believe they really shot this way it is probably just an artistic convention, but don’t try this at home. Back to the story: Composite Bows have a history almost as long as the longbow, as indications are that in prehistoric times, bows were in use in areas where trees were not abundant and therefore, horn, bone and other animal derived materials were used to make bows. Use of these materials meant that some of the limitations of wood were sidestepped and shorter, deliberately curved bows were produced. The history of composite bows is well documented, compared to the one-piece or “self-bows” which evolved into the longbow. This is because they were developed and used by civilisations which grew up in the Middle East and around the eastern end of the he Mediterranean Sea. There are illustrations of this style of bow on carvings dating back to 2370 – 2320 BCE. The picture heading this article is an example of this and dates back to the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, 1550 – 1291 BCE. Whilst the shape varied, they used some common basic principles in their design. They were usually based on a slender wooden core, with horn or bone as the belly, to resist compressive stresses and animal sinew as a backing, to take the tensile stresses and allow the bow to bend. This assembly was held together with glue and usually bound with animal skin or tree bark. The complexity of design needed a sophisticated society and transfer of knowledge to maintain these bows. Whilst the self-bow in its crudest form, could be constructed in a matter of hours, with a simple cutting tool (stone knife or axe for instance) and used immediately, composite bows needed a great deal of skilled work (see illustrations of a Turkish bow at the end of this article). First would be procurement and preparation of the raw materials, then bonding and gluing, then time for the glue to harden. The total time for a single bow to be produced and be ready for use could well be twelve months. Egyptian tomb paintings of the 15th century BCE in fact show bows and arrows being made in a factory system, (long before Henry Ford or Fred Taylor was around). Other paintings show archers being trained; learning on simple self-bows before moving on to sophisticated composite bows. Probably because of the work involved these bows became prized possessions and symbols of authority in ways that the long bow never did. This is very helpful to

��( � ��

(Continued from page 5) historians, as there are many illustrations from antiquity, showing how they developed over time and in various communities. It is even better than that, because of their significance to kings and priests, we also have examples from Egyptian tombs, including that of Tutankhamun. Many of these have elaborate carvings on them, indicating their use for ceremonial purposes. Thus it is possible to see that the bows developed from something similar to a self-bow, to triangular bow (the side view of the strung bow has the shape of an isosceles triangle), to a bow with highly reflexed limbs. Other variations were to extend the limbs with pieces of wood to aid energy storage and thus improve cast. The delicacy of these bows however, meant that they needed protection from the elements and so we find that elaborate bow holsters and quivers were worn by the archers of the time. That the Egyptian royalty took to the use of these bows is well documented, as shown above, some of the Pharaohs claiming particular prowess. For instance, Thutmosis III (1492 – 1479 BCE), is reputed to have been able to shoot an arrow and penetrate a copper ingot, three fingers thick. On a hunting trip in Syria he reputedly killed 120 elephants (Howard Hill only shot one!!). Not to be outdone, his son, Amenhotep II, “had a bow so strong that no one else could bend it” (shades of Henry VIII) and with it he shot four arrows, from a distance of 10m, that completely penetrated copper targets a hands breadth thick. These bows, of course, were also used as part of their military tactics, with large groups of foot archers for long distance fire-power and with chariot and horse mounted archers for skirmishing and to break up phalanxes of infantry and spearmen. The Egyptians were not alone in developing the composite bow for warfare; they were also widely used by other nations in that part of the world as they fought each other. These included Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, and smaller groups such as Hittites and Parthians. It is to these latter peoples that we have the term “Parthian shot”, derived from the tactics employed by their horse mounted archers. In this they would approach the opposing army, loose a few arrows, to annoy if not kill, then turn and ride away. If the enemy troops then broke ranks to chase them, thinking they had won the battle, the Parthian horsemen would turn in the saddle and release a volley of arrows, thus turning the course of the battle. The composite bow did not remain the property of nations in the Middle East alone, but spread westwards to Eastern Europe, Greece and Italy and also eastwards to Asia. As they were developed over time they tended to become shorter and shorter, down to a size to match the modern compound bow. Their shooting characteristics were also refined and some had the geometry so well worked out, that the draw weight did not increase significantly as full draw was reached, which was claimed to improve the arrow speed and penetration. A consequence of the shortening of the bow was that the archer’s fingers were being pinched by the acute string angle. Various designs of “thumb rings” and other quick release devices were developed to overcome the problem and provide a faster and more accurate release. In the middle ages these bows were used extensively by many nations as they fought for domination of their neighbours. Names that spring to mind include Genghis Khan in his conquest of China and India and Tamerlane who conquered so much of Central Asia a little later (at the time the Longbow was being used so successfully in the Hundred Years War in Europe). This kept alive the use and refinement of the composite bow until quite recently in countries such as China, India, Mongolia, Hungary and Turkey. In Turkey in particular, the early Royal interest persisted until more modern times, with not only penetrating power, but distance or flight shooting being highly regarded. When the Turkish leader Mohammed II conquered Constantinople in 1453 CE, he donated a shooting ground to the archery guild, the “ok meidan”, for their use in perpetuity for flight shooting. Careful records were maintained for many years, by embedding stones in the ground at distances achieved over the years. The last distance recorded this way was 1281.5 gez (an old Turkish measure) equivalent to approx. 850 yards. This was supported in the late 18th century, by the British ambassador to Turkey, who witnessed the Sultan shoot an arrow 972 yards. For their

(Continued from page 6) flight shooting, the Turks used very short bows and arrows, so besides a thumb ring for the release they also used a “siper”, an arrow rest or guide, attached to the bow hand, which allowed them to draw the arrow beyond the bow handle. The composite bows reached their peak as a weapon of war in the east, just about the time the Longbow was reaching its peak in the west. However, some countries were still equipping their armies with developments of these bows until the beginning of the 20th century. This is a photograph taken in a Turkish museum and shows an unstrung composite Turkish bow. The document gives instructions on how to make and string the bow

This is an enlargement of the instruction panel from the illustration above. It explains how the bow is made and illustrates the change in shape as the bow is strung for use

A short review on how the move to the new field is going or not depending on how you see it. Mr Philpot the owner has levelled the ground for the two containers and the new container has been installed and painted green. Our existing container will be moved as soon as the ground dries out sufficiently enough to allow the heavy vehicle to operate. If the good weather continues we will try and get the container moved just after Easter. Brian Edwards, equipment officer, will send an e-mail to all members as soon as the container is moved but it would seem that it would be in your best interest to ensure that you know where the new field is and how to access the ground as we

Saturday 23rd July, Essex Junior FITA Championships, Mayflower School, Billericay, Metric Rounds, Sunday 24th July, Essex Senior FITA Championships, Mayflower School Billericay, Gents FITA, Ladies FITA If you are not shooting on either of these days please offer your help to Robert Markham, who is organising this one. STOP PRESS: The Southern Counties Archery Society Regional Field Championships will be held at Panther Bowhunters, Galleywood on Saturday 30th July and the Regional Intercounty Team Championships will be on Sunday 31st July. The round for both days will be FITA 24 Combination Round, which is 24 targets, 12 marked, 12 unmarked. This is a record status shoot. start 10am, seniors £8, juniors £4 each day. there will be white pegs for shooters under 12. The County Team on Sunday will be 4 archers from each county which must include one Lady, one compound, one freestyle and one unsighted (BB, trad, CBB, LB) score, but from what I can gather it is open to anyone to enter either or both days. RESIDENTIAL ARCHERY COURSE There are still places available on the residential archery weekend at Wicken House, Wicken Bonhunt (just north of Stansted). This is over the weekend of 7th & 8th May and this year includes seminars as well as personal archery coaching. It is a good opportunity to spend time with fellow archers and concentrate on your archery, but there are also distractions such as the pub at the end of the drive for the adults and the pool table and basketball court for the juniors. If you want further details contact Julie and she will put you in touch with the organisers Richard Squibb and Laura (OK, she admits it, she cant find their number at the moment, but she will track it

Safety is our aim �

��/� ��

may not be able to inform you prior to the move, however the best rule would be if you get to the existing field and the container is missing, you should move to the new field. If you are unsure where the new club ground is you can give Brian a call on or ask any member of the committee. All members should note that we will introduce a few new practices that we will be following when we finally move. 1. Safety is our aim and as we will be visible from the road please ensure that you follow all the safe shooting rules and do not shoot from any other line except the designated shooting line. Do not try any form of clout shooting and ensure that you keep your arrows pointing at the target when on the draw (no high draw will be allowed).

2. A waiting line has been added, so ALL equipment including spotting scopes must be returned behind the waiting line after you have shot.

3. The shooting line has divisions at equal distances running its entire length . Only three archers in two details six archers in all are to shoot at any one target and the target is to be sited centrally between the lines 4. The field will be off limits to all cars, if you are unable to walk up and down to retrieve arrows etc then please make use of the safety margin at either side of the field. 5. Parking will be at the side behind the shooting line on the 25 yard safety margin.

6. A permanent butt will be located in the middle of the field on the 80 yard line and it will be locked via a combination lock, having the same number as the hut. It is the responsibility of all members to ensure that it is returned to that location and locked. This is to try and prevent it becoming a nuisance and or danger if the thugs decide to have fun with it.

7. Entrance to the field is via the dirt road and not across the field as we do not want to get on the wrong side of the owners by having a load of cars cutting across the field.

9. The new container will be used for the mowers etc, the key holding will be restricted.

10. Ensure that you pull up all tent pegs as they will damage the new mower !

Editors note: Since Brian wrote this we have now moved all equipment to the new field. The old field is no longer in use.
