Following on from our very successful previous postal matches, we, as the heading suggests, in collaboration with Northants, have arranged another intercounty match. Details as follows.

We are hoping that all BCAA clubs and archers will be able to take part. Please distribute to all your archers pointing out that included for this year are the 2 junior distances.

1 Round to be shot: Frostbite, Adult, 36 arrows at 30 metres. Under 14, 36 arrows at 20 metres. Under 12, 36 arrows at 15 metres all on the 80cm face.

5 How round is to be shot. All 3 dozen shot in the same session. As many times as you wish within the time. We just want each individual highest score.

6 Record all the scores as you would normally, X`s, 10`s and so on. Please submit the final score totals only (not each individual arrow value) in the normal format, including the following information. Archer, Gender. Club. Bow Style. Senior/Junior (if junior age and which junior distance shot)

Example: Jane Doe. Female. Middle Earth. Longbow. Senior. X `s = 59. 10`s = 13. Score = 720.

Results for this year’s (2023) postal County Championships

Greetings !
Please find attached the results for this year’s postal County Championships.

BCAA 2023 Outdoor Champs – American rounds 12-13 Aug 2023 results version 1

Last year we had 19 County archers of which 17 actually shot at Kestrels Double National.

This year we had 43 archers involved from six of our eight BCAA-affiliated clubs.

The real disappointment was that only three juniors participated despite the availability of shorter “American” rounds.

Thanks to all who submitted scores. The two days were similar; the Saturday was quite windy and the Sunday was perhaps less windy but with stronger gusts. Both days were quite warm.

Medals will be presented at the BCAA AGM in November.

Please apply for postal county records using the County website. All the juniors should be eligible for records. All the top scorers in each discipline will count but I am unclear whether there will be a distinction between 50+/Senior/U21. Hopefully Martin Gascoigne, our County Records Officer will be able to clarify on this.

Thanks to all archers who took part and to those who organised their club event and submitted scores. Not an ideal situation, I appreciate, but we have got the Champs done and more archers were involved.

Best wishes
Mike
BCAA Chairman
