Assheton Bowmen Annual Early Bird Albion 2025

Welcome to our annual Early Bird Albion, a great shoot to either dip your toes in the water or kick off your summer season in style!

As usual our Albion (also known as a Long Windsor) consists of 3 dozen arrows at 80 yards, 3 dozen at 60 yards and 3 dozen at 50 yards.

Of course if these distances aren't for you, the Albion family of rounds also allows these distances to be closer in the form of a Windsor, a Windsor 50, Windsor 40 or a Windsor 30. Details of these rounds can be found in the Archery GB Rules of Shooting - Table 3-1 on page 3-9 but generally the younger the archer, the closer the target.

Awards are only available for those who shoot rounds appropriate to their age and category.
