I have had numerous record claims since taking over and it has become clear that some people aren't too sure about how to claim records. Here are some pointers,

• Records can be claimed only by members of Hampshire Archery Association.
• Records must only be claimed for the Age Category that the archer has entered as.
• Records need to be claimed within 6 months of the shoot taking place. Records cannot be claimed retrospectively
• Records must be shot at 'open' shoots. Closed/Invitational shoots will not be accepted.
• Competitions must also have a Judge or Field Captain
• More than 1 record can be taken in a single day for example for any WA1440 you could claim 7 records. The round itself, the long metric, short metric and all four individual distances.
• On Imperial distances (York, Hereford, Bristol's) you can also claim for the corresponding National round (a picture of the score sheet MUST be supplied for the record to be ratified)
• When claiming you must include the results sheet and a picture of the applicable score sheet. The score sheet is very helpful should any tie break happen.
• A website link may be used; however it is the Archer claiming responsibility to supply. The Records Officer will not search for results not included.
• All records can be claimed via Email or Post as long as all relevant information is included
• There is no 'Record Claim Form'. this became obsolete when email became the primary form for claiming.
• Records can be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. although you might get a reply from my personal account confirming/denying the record

• Tie breaks will be decided as follows. 

(i) Archery GB Imperial Rounds.

(ii) Archery GB Metric Rounds
