A good St. George's Round made by Mr. E. Maitland (Champion in 1848, Royal Toxophilite Society) is:
| 100 Yards | 80 Yards | 60 Yards | Totals | |||||

| 25 | 97 | 34 | 190 | 36 | 196 | = | 95 | 483 |
and he says: 'I tried hard to catch up Mr. H. A. Ford on my return to England from Australia in 1858, but had scarcely got within 25 per cent. of his scores when I broke down from overwork—bows too strong, and practice too unremitting. He said if I did not beat him, there was no one else in the field to do it. I don't think I ever should, because I had not his indomitable steadiness and threw away many a shot on a chance: for I was a rapid shooter. I never dwelt on the aim as he did.'
Mr. T. L. Coulson (Royal Toxophilite Society) recorded his first score of 500 on the single York Round on May 1, 1861, on November 18, 1862:
| Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | |
| — | 228 | — | 207 | — | 130 | = | 105 | 565 |
| Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | |
| 56 | 224 | 44 | 198 | 24 | 136 | = | 124 | 558 |
On January 13, 1869, he made 3 golds in one end at 100 yards.
Mr. J. A. Froude (Royal Toxophilite Society) says: 'I did once make It is generally believed that the private practice of Mr. G. Edwards (Champion in 1860-1-2-4-6) was far beyond his public shooting. He has been heard to say that, though Mr. Ford had been able to land only 71 of the 72 arrows shot at 100 yards in the target (missing his 59th arrow), he (Mr. G. E.) had put all his 72 arrows into the target at the same distance. There is no reason to disbelieve his positive statement that on one occasion, shooting 24 arrows at 60 yards, he put every one of them in the red circle.
