The third and final selection shoot, involving four archers in both the men's and women's catergories, takes place over three days on the 19th, 20th and 21st of April at Lilleshall - and Archery GB wants to create an atmosphere of noise and carnival similar to what the archers can expect at Lords, should they make the team.
Explained Sara Symington, Archery GB's Performance Director: "These are probably the most important three days for our Olympic archers outside the Olympics themselves. It's their final chance to clinch a place on the Olympic team.
"Being at the Olympics is more than just making good scores; it's about 'using the crowd to enhance performance' and 'simulating the enthusiasm and support of our home Olympic crowd.
"At Lords (the Olympic venue) there's going to be over 5-thousand spectators cheering them on, which is fantastic - but many of them will have never seen an archery event before, and won't know the protocol, so they'll just be cheering incessantly.
" Whilst this is added pressure, it's the best possible time for those archers who thrive by performing to this crowd to step up.
"And for all those local schools who are willing and kind enough to be a part of it, they will do so knowing they are playing a big part in preparing our archers for the London Olympic Games, and helping our archers to be in the mix for medals once the tournament at Lords gets underway."
