| This is a hard subject to tie down, but I wonder if some of the place and county names are linked to where early Grand National Archery meetings were held? There seems to be evidence of the York being linked to the first meeting in 1844. At that time there is a mention of Ladies shooting a similar round of shorter distance. Could it be that Ladies and junior rounds derived from the York (Hereford and Bristol) are also named after the place chosen to host those early Grand National meetings? If anyone has access to early archives a to where those metings were held, it may yield a clue.
