Worcester, Windsor, Western, Bristol etc? Amisom (talk) 19:40, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found a brief mention of a Portsmouth round (which is not in your list) here Target archery#Imperial Rounds (GNAS_rules) but it gives no info about where the term comes from. I will be interested to see what info other editors have for you. MarnetteD|Talk 20:00, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this which mentions the names for the rounds and the particulars of each but still no info about where the names come from. I suspect it has something to do with Robin of Locksley :-) Hopefully this will help others in researching this for you. MarnetteD|Talk 20:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the names are all well-findable. Their origins less so Amisom (talk) 08:38, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From Anecdotes of archery: from earliest ages to the year 1791 [1]:

This refers to a meet at the Knavesmire (the York racecourse) on Thursday, 1 August 1844.

Page 11 of The Book of the Bow by Gordon Grimley (Putnam, 1958) notes:

Archer's Register: A Year Book of Facts (1892) gives details of the various British archery clubs and their "club rounds"; linked is the Worcestershire Archery Society and further down the text it mentions the pairs of targets which are a feature of the Worcester Round. Presumably the rounds are named after the clubs that originally devised them, with the exception of the York Round above, which came from Berkshire. I suspect that the Western Round is named after the Grand Western Archery Society. Alansplodge (talk) 12:15, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
