Format
The ontargetClub Competition is a knockout team competition where clubs host or travel to a match. Clubs are initially drawn with others from their Counties or Regions to minimise travel.
Each team consists of four (4) archers of whom2 must be recurve archers and 2 must be compound archers. The team of archers must be of mixed gender and archers should be 16 years old or older.
Other bow-types are welcomed to be involved but will recognised, for the purposes of scoring, as the bow type they are replacing.
Matches take 2 hours and will consist of 3 rounds of 2 dozen arrows at 50m on an 80cm face, with archers shooting ends of 6 arrows. Each round sees the team shoot as Team, a Pair and finally as an Individual against the other team.
Social
An important, and welcomed, factor of the competition is the social aspect. Home teams are encouraged to provide refreshments, and a chance to socialise with other archers and clubs.
In the past clubs have welcomed more than the opposition team, and allowed other archers tocome, shoot and socialise. This is to be encouraged, however should not interfere with the timing of the match. A key part is to keep the match to approximately 2 hours.
