Guidelines for participation
-
Just one entry per person per pace please. It is permitted to return a score for both the walk match and the trot match
-
You should nominate your attempt in advance, no having another go if you don't like your score!
Also please do still send in your score even if you shot below your potential and aren't very pleased with it.
All club captains running postal matches should please ensure everyone realises they are shooting a competition score before commencing. -
You may warm up your horse as much as necessary but only 1 mounted shooting practise before starting the match. If you have been training earlier, take at least a 30 minute break.
-
There is no requirement of timing the runs. Speed is not important only the pace.
-
Please advise us of:
your club and nationality,
age (if under 18) and category (junior = 14-17y at the end of the currrent year, child = under 14).
if you were shooting from a horse drawn carriage /cart / trap, please email us to let us know
if you are disabled then please tick the box on the rider profile (physical or learning disabilities, no categorisation). -
Normally for horsearchery you must be shooting a bow that is not centreshot
and does not have a shelf or rest on which you can rest an arrow.
However for these matches we have relaxed these rules to allow beginners
who haven't yet bought horsebows to participate. You may use any bow
without sights (except a compound or crossbow -
ENJOY!
