About Richard Jenkings
At the 2019 British National Championships in Lilleshall, Richard Jenkings held his final shot for 17 seconds, longer than any recorded in modern national finals, to secure gold after a sudden-death shoot-off against reigning champion Tom Hall. That moment crystallised his reputation not for raw power or flashy technique, but for physiological calm under duress: he pioneered breath-coordinated anchor-point micro-adjustments now taught at UK Archery’s Coach Development Programme. Unlike peers who rely on high-poundage recurves, Jenkings competes exclusively on 54lb limbs, proving precision trumps draw weight in UK outdoor conditions where wind and light shift unpredictably across the 90-metre range. He’s also led the Archery GB Inclusion Taskforce since 2021, redesigning para-able classification protocols so visually impaired archers can compete on shared courses using tactile sight-line markers, a system adopted by three European federations. His coaching logbooks, digitised and anonymised, form the backbone of the Sport England-funded ‘Consistency Atlas’, mapping shot deviation against barometric pressure, humidity, and grass moisture levels over 1,200+ recorded sessions.
