British National Archery Champion

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Richard Jenkings win any World Archery Federation medals?
No, he has never competed internationally for Great Britain. Jenkings declined selection for the 2017 and 2023 World Championships to focus on developing the UK’s domestic coaching infrastructure and supporting regional talent pipelines. His influence is measured through athletes he’s coached: seven current GB squad members credit his biomechanical feedback loops as foundational to their national selection.
What is the 'Consistency Atlas' and how is it used?
The Consistency Atlas is a publicly accessible dataset co-developed by Jenkings and Sport England, aggregating 1,200+ shot logs with environmental metadata. Coaches use it to correlate minor form deviations, like wrist torque variance, with local weather variables, enabling predictive adjustments before competitions. It’s integrated into the Archery GB Level 3 Coaching syllabus.
Has Jenkings published any technical papers or coaching manuals?
He co-authored the 2022 Archery GB Technical Bulletin 'Anchor Stability Under Variable Load', which redefined anchor-point assessment using motion-capture analysis of jawline tension. He deliberately avoids commercial manuals, instead releasing quarterly annotated shot videos via the National Archery Foundation’s open-access portal, each dissecting one real-world competition sequence.
What role did Jenkings play in revising UK archery safety standards?
In 2020, he chaired the BNAS Working Group that updated the UK’s outdoor range safety protocols, introducing mandatory 'wind-stop thresholds' based on real-time anemometer data, not just gust forecasts, and requiring clubs to map blind-spot zones using drone-surveyed topography. These standards were adopted nationally in 2021.
