Several users have queried why Golden Records assigned a classification of Archer when the score was Bowman. The reason being that in the new SAP Archery GB restrict practice scores to counting only towards the Archer tier. Archery GB have clarified what counts as competitive for qualifying for Bowman:”With the Bowman classifications, the archer should be quite familiar with shooting rounds and probably is ready for a more formal shooting environment. Archers should now be shooting their scores at competitions, club target days, friendly matches or any other event in line with rule 304. It doesn’t need to be too formal, but as a guideline it should be an event organised in advance, with multiple people taking part and with rules around practice and scoring being followed as if it were a competition.”An additional score status has been added to Golden Records of Club Event. These scores will count as practice for the purposes of Club Records but will qualify for the award of Bowman tier classifications in line with the AGB guidance.
