THE SHOOT

This six-month postal shoot runs in conjunction with the NZ Archery Inter Club Postal 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).

Criteria for ECBOPAA archers is that all rounds must be shot within any ECBOPAA club grounds. Non-ECBOPAA archers may shoot at any archery club grounds.

An invitation to the shoot is extended to non-ECBOPAA clubs. Non-ECBOPAA participants will be eligible for awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd OVERALL placings in each division.

Clubs may shoot as many times as desired within the designated month/s of the shoot and the highest score from each individual archer participating is to be submitted as per below.

Scores will be recorded each day of shooting on a recording sheet (available from the Club Day Box) held at each club range where the independent witness/es will record the score. At the end of each month, upload your score sheet using the button above and Brad will load these upto ECBOPAA. Late entries may not be submitted so don’t be late.

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

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

The best individual scores are to be submitted via Google form by each club contact. These are to be submitted by the 7th day of the following month of the shoot.

Any scores submitted after the 7th day of the following month may be accepted at the discretion of the Shoot Co-ordinator.

Please fill out all details required on the Google form. The Masters, Teens and Pre-teens divisions are determined by the age on the 1st of October.

  • If an archer is 20 years old or older on the 1st of October, they shoot as a senior.
  • If an archer is 12 years old or younger on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Pre-teen.
  • If an archer is between 13 and 19 years old on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Teen.
  • If an archer is 50 years old or older on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Master.

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.

The cost of this shoot is $10.00 per entry ($10 in total for the 6 months of the competition). Please note that clubs are NOT required to pay these entry fees until they have received an invoice from ECBOPAA which will be sent in February after the first 3 sets of results have been received.
