Archery competition in Javerlhac 23d October 2022
I had no time to take pictures. Just one at the end of the day.
Some archers of Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat where present at Cussac (fête des bonnes fontaines June 2022).
Nobody is afraid of rain.
We find every week at least one unknown arrow.
We remind you that we shoot on private grounds so need abolutely to have a licence to shoot.
Two of our members participated in the competition Parcours France 2021 in Saint-Saud-Lacoussière
First place for Marlène, historic bow
Third place fore Christoph, historic bow.
Impressions after the competition
Who is the owner of this 2 arrows found on our grounds? No member recognized them until today.
You want to do some archery with your child. But a 2 year old just wants to ride on the animals .
I won(t participate any longer if the people have no face and it is impossible to see a smile.
This is a photomontage - not an original !
the new saison 2020 - 2021 has started at th association Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat.
We meet every Saturday at 2 p.m.
All persons interested in field archery are welcome. (Part of our members are English.)
We always shoot in the woods in small groups of 3 to 5 archers.
Because of the situation we can't yet decide for a date of the next competition.
Certainly we will organise a competition for the 20 years of our association in autumn 2021
The journalist Xavier Lavallée allows us to publish his picture from the competion on March 8th 2020. No one of the archers usually taking pictures was present and it was a cloudy day, which is never inspiring for photographers.
Reminder: You can consult the results in "Downloads" section of the site.
As we don't know what will be allowed in July, and on a proposition of the major of Javerlhac, the Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat decided to
cancel the archery competition of July 12th 2020.
The results are in the Download section
The archery competion in Javerlhac, Dordogne will take place the 8th March 2020.

In automn 2018 the Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat a participated at the "Forum des associations" organised by the communauté des commune in Nontron and at "Sports pour les séniors " on the beach of the Grand-Etang de Saint-Estèphe.

New images from the Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat are on: "Archers du Bandiat, galerie photos". The links to google photos still work. I thought of using flickr but from 2019 on you have to pay if you want to upload more then 1.000 pictures. Using a private website is cheaper.
In France we have some questions about the shooting style longbow (IFAA rules). Is face walking allowed or not?
It is not mentioned in the article concerning longbows, but not allowed in the new traditional recurve style.
2005 Article VII E (shooting styles) 7 (longbow)
d only one nocking point allowed…
g. An archer shall touch the arrow when nocked, with the index finger against the nock. Finger position may not be changed during competition. In case of physical deformity or handicap, special dispensation shall be made. (pdf p 20)
2007 Article IV E 7 Longbow
f. Only onenocking point shall be allowed on the string…
h. The bow must be shot with the “Mediterranean“ loose. In cases of physical deformity or handicap special dispensation shall be made.
2017 Article IV E Longbow
f. Only one nocking point shall be allowed on the string, …
h. Arrows shall be of wood, … shall not vary in length by more than 25mm at the start of the competition. … (existe depuis l'édition 2013)
i. The bow must be shot with the “Mediterranean“ loose. In cases of physical deformity or handicap special dispensation shall be made.
IFAA 2017 Article IV E 9 Traditional Recurve bow

You can download the form in the downloads section.
This year Parcours France 24/25 th August 2013 was int the "Bois de Morval, commune Guiry en Vexin (Val d'Oise) north of Paris. After two days of shooting in the rain Jean Philippe got a silver medal in veteran longbow category.
There are no photos thes year. With rain the results are never good, but when I wanted to take a picture of the archers starting again after a the meal, with all the umbrellas open, the camera would not work. No more batteries and I fogot to take new ones.
155 archers startes on saturday, but only 133 finished all four courses. The others abandonned because of the bad weather. Nevertheless the two cubs longbow who where obliged by adults to stop shooting, got their medals after all. They were not the youngest, who was only eight years old (recurve), but went on, he was unlucky and only forth in his category.
The results will be on the fftl website, until than you can find a scanned version in the download section
Jean Philippe, veteran longbow won a class B silver medal in the European Field archery Championships in Sopron
Sigrun, veteran longbow women won a silver medal in the European Field archery Championships in Sopron.

The National Annual FFTL competition. Seven members of the club attended this year’s national competition at Trémolat. Over two days you complete four courses. Field, Hunter, Animal and 3D. The courses are over various terrain and some targets are difficult. This year was very good for the club as we came away with one gold veteran ladies recurve which was won by Jenny. Silver won by Sigrun for senior longbow and silver by Tony for historic bow. Jean-Philippe came forth in his group for longbow with Terry and Paul obtaining very good individual results. Wynona also had a good competition and all attendees gain some very good experience.
