The most recent edition of Archery UK (Winter 2011/12) included proposed changes to the Rules of Shooting to include American Flat Bow (AFB) as a shooting style for Target, Field and Flight archery (p65). 

After email correspondence with GNAS I have been advised that an Operations Meeting on the 7th of January approved the AFB for Field and Flight but not yet for Target and Clout. Additionally: 

1. Rounds shot before the 1st April 2012 will not count towards a national record.
2. The GNAS normal procedure for a new record is all claims will be saved until the end of the season and then the highest score will be acknowledged as the first record score.

In line with this, HAA will recognise Field and Flight records shot on or after the 1st April 2012. An amended record claim form will be posted in due course.

Our Treasurer, Louise Belbin, would like to thank all those club representatives who helped to complete the work for affiliations this year.
