SCOPES ON THE LINE	5th Jul 2010
Each week, I get a query from archers who want to know the correct ruling about leaving Scopes on the line at a GNAS Tournament. The rule is simple, they MUST be removed after each end of shooting. They may be shared by archers, but after that end of arrows, they must be removed to the Equipment area. I am told by archers that this isn't always so, some judges say it is their discretion whether scopes may be left on the line at GNAS shoots. NO IT ISN'T. A judge has no discretion, they must be removed. There is one exception to this - disabled archers may leave their scopes on the line subject to the judge's discretion on the day. Judges only have discretion at a FITA shoot. Andy Pointon

UPDATE ON DERRICK	24th May 2010
Wonderful news, Derrick has been released from Hospital and is now at home. I spoke with him this evening and he still sounds "groggy" but is happy to be home. He will undergo an operation in the next few weeks. We all wish him a full recovery and look forward to him returning to judging. He has had to cancel all committments for the future until fit to carry on. Andy Pointon Chairman
