Horace A. Ford (1822–1880) is known as one of the greatest target archers of all time. ==Biography== Ford first picked up the bow in 1845, and a mere four years later won the Grand National Archery Meeting held in the United Kingdom. He proceeded to win an unmatched, eleven consecutive championships, and a twelfth "comeback" win. His high score - that of 1271 in the Double York Round in 1857 - remained archery's high mark for over 70 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cheltenhamarchers.co.uk/history/ )〕 He is the author of ''Archery: Its Theory and Practice'', one of the all-time classics of archery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://archive.org/stream/theorypracticeof00ford#page/n7/mode/2up )〕 Several members of his family were good cricketers, including Francis Ford. His father was solicitor and bill discounter George Samuel Ford. Ford owned, in partnership with his father and brother, the Bryndu Colliery from 1842 and was a director of the Bristol and South Wales Railway Waggon Company (Limited). Ford died in Bath, England on the 24 June 1880. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horace A. Ford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
