I would have thought that they would have been required to change from blazer to smoking jacket...the rule on smoking requires you to get the permission of the ladies before smoking around their targets!

Maybe. When I started archery a decade or so ago, there were a few of the old buffoons in the club who would sneer at an adult shooting a 'junior' round. On round days, there would never be a junior round for adults - and younger juniors were expected to shoot junior rounds.Apologies if this has been covered previously, but I see from the latest Archery UK magazine (I haven’t seen any previous mention and that is probably my fault) that various rounds have been renamed as “naming of the rounds has caused some archers embarrassment”. I can see the logic in “all xxx V rounds” starting at 30 yards, but “embarrassment”? And why keep York, Hereford and Bristol as separate names?
Am I missing something here?
They all shoot indoor 18m, so why feel embarrassed when shooting 40 yards outdoors?I must admit, injuries have kept me from shooting more than 40 yards for about 2 years now, and yes, it is faintly embarrassing on a club night to be shooting what is termed a junior round, in company with the newbies, when everyone else is shooting what they call a 'proper' distance.
But would you feel any less embarrassed shooting at 40 yards if you wrote Warwick IV in your scorebook rather than Junior Warwick, for example?I must admit, injuries have kept me from shooting more than 40 yards for about 2 years now, and yes, it is faintly embarrassing on a club night to be shooting what is termed a junior round, in company with the newbies, when everyone else is shooting what they call a 'proper' distance.
