The British Long-bow Society was formed in 1951 by Kenneth and Margot Webb in reaction to the proliferation of modern bows and archery equipment, seeking to return to a more traditional archery practice. A competition was held on the grounds of the Royal Toxophilite Society in London during the inauguration, and the results were recorded by the society. The names of some of these founding members, including C.B. Edwards and Commander W.N. Drawbridge, are found in this current collection on medals from the following year (The British Archer Magazine, 1951).
