About this Event

Judges: CoJ: Lynne Nicholson, Supported by: Ken Milner and David Potts

Lord Patron: Brian Capeling

Awards: The main awards will be for everyone who completes the 2.4k Challenge, ie everyone who completes all four rounds. Unfortunately, as the National Glass Centre has now closed, the traditional glass archer/quiver awards are no longer possible to get. We will do our best to source an alternative unique award.

Additional awards will be made dependent on entries to the highest score per dvision. As per WA rules, this will be the first score shot by any individual archer over the weekend.

General Information: The rounds are WA18 - Two rounds on Saturday, two on Sunday, shot on vertical 3-spot faces for recurve and compound archers. Longbow and barebow archers will shoot at single-spot faces. Shooting will be timed with ends of 3 arrows to be shot within 2 minutes.

Please do not arrive before 9am as the hall will not be open before this time.

Archers eligible for the 50+ section can choose which section to enter. They will only be eligable for medals in the section into which they entered.

Junior entries will be eligible for junior awards only. Under 21's are welcome to enter as a senior archer and be competitive in that class, should they wish to do so.
