Horace A. Ford (1822–1880) was a target archer.
Biography
Horace Alfred Ford began participating in archery in 1845, and 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.
Ford founded the Cheltenham Archers in 1857. He is also the author of Archery: Its Theory and Practice.
Several members of his family were 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.
