    Borg Archery Handicap Toolkit - track your shoot - turn each shoot into a competition

    Hi All, I've developed an Android app that may be of use to some of you. It is based on the Archery GB handicap system. Rather than just be able to give you the handicap for a shoot you have just completed it allows the following: 1. Track your progress during a round against a target...

    Round face questions

    Hi, I'm currently looking at the newest rules of shooting document dated April 2017 and see some changes from my version dated April 2012. I was hoping that someone with a current set of handicap tables could answer a few questions that I have (my handicap tables are dated April 2012)? 1. Bray...

    JMB / MB / GMB eligible events

    Hi, This question is mainly directed at club records officers but all replies are very welcome. I have developed my own round entry system that our club members use to tell me (the club Records Officer) of the rounds that they have shot. Now that we have a member who is shooting at a master...

    To all records officers or those who have had the misfortune to have to try understand the SAPs: Here is a specific set of rounds. Please just reply with the current classification and refrain from stating your reasons at this time. Archer A, adult gentleman in their first year: First round...

    The swapping of bows during a round

    Someone at our club was trying to decide whether to swap bow (same type - both were longbows - but different draw weights) prior to changing to the lower distance of a round. I wondered whether the rules of shooting disallowed this. I couldn't see anything on a quick perusal just now and don't...

    Bristol V handicap - Archers Mate differs significantly from my handicap tables

    Hi, I'm currently doing a provisional records officer role for our club. I have been using Archers Mate up until now to determine handicaps for rounds shot by our members.

    Question for records officers regarding change in classification scores

    A question for the records officers: Generally, if Archery GB has updated the classification scores in March and it is now April and you have just been handed the details of a round that someone shot in February would you: a) Fish out your old classification score tables and use the old...

    The serving on the string must not end within the archer's vision at full draw.

    The above is rule 202 (b) (ii) in the GNAS Rules of Shooting. I found it odd that it was in the recurve section I thought it might be a barebow rule only. But anyway, it seems a pretty subjective rule to me. Generally how long would you expect your serving to have to be to satisfy this rule...

    Sport England 2011 Survey promising ?10 Amazon voucher

    Hi, Just wondered if anybody else has actually received their ?10 Amazon voucher. I was told that I would receive mine by the end of June. I haven't and all subsequent requests for information to Sport England seem to have been ignored. Cheers, Steve

    Classifications and Handicaps again I'm afraid

    Hi, SAPS state: "1. Regulations for all Disciplines (a) The use of the classification scheme by Clubs is optional and the administration of it, up to Bowman standard, shall be in the hands of the Club Officials. At Master Bowman, or equivalent, and above, the classification is ratified by GNAS...

    Recurve Barebow Classification

    Hi, One of our junior archers attempted a Progress Award Scheme shoot today. After the attempt she removed her stabiliser and sight and was shooting much better (I think the reduction of weight helped). So I am wondering if she might be able to shoot to the barebow classification instead of the...

    Handicap Tables and Mr. Lane

    Hi, Does anyone have an email address for Mr. Lane (the guy that devised the handicap tables) that they could PM me please? After my correspondence with GNAS, I don't have much faith in them actually forwarding my email to Mr. Lane. Cheers, Steve
