This six-month postal shoot runs in conjunction with the Archery NZ Interclub Shoot, but is an individual shoot, not a team shoot. Individual scores are to be submitted for this shoot. To be shot in a minor tournament situation (club shoot with independent witness is fine).

Although this shoot runs over six months, there will only be five results submitted:

  • October
  • November
  • December/January
  • February
  • March

Scores must be sent to the Club Shoot Co-ordinator (Brad Collins) at the end of each month via the score submission form in the first instance or by leaving them in the folder at the club.

AWARDS

There will be awards for ECBOPAA members in all divisions for an accumulated score over the entire six months. Archers need to shoot a minimum of three months to qualify for awards. All ECBOPAA archers must be from an ECBOPAA affiliated club to claim awards. There will also be awards for those entries from out of the ECBOPAA region for overall top 3 placings.

SHOOT FEES

The cost of this shoot is $10.00 per entry ($10 in total for the 6 months of the competition) and is to be done via the online registration form.
