Archery GB junior rankings

Helen Woodcock - 5 June 2023

I have been asked about the AGB Junior Rankings.

The information you need can be found here:
Archery GB: National Archery Rankings

Just scroll down the page to find the bit about juniors.

You need 3 scores: 1 from a 12 dozen round and 2 from either 720 rounds OR 12 dozen rounds. They should be shot at the age appropriate distance or above at record status events. If you only have one or two scores you can still be included as the missing scores will be given a maximum handicap. If you shot at Wetherby this weekend you already have 1 or 2 scores.

If you have any questions please drop an email to yaajuniors@yahoo.com and I will do my best to help.
