Outdoor & Indoor Classifications are important to all archers because they are the best indication of where you are in terms of scoring ability and provide a benchmark for levels of improvement.
There are 6 classification levels achievable at club level:
Archer 3rd Class,
Archer 2nd Class,
Archer 1st Class,
Bowman 3rd Class,
Bowman 2nd Class ,
Bowman 1st Class.
Master Bowman (MB) and Grand Master Bowman (GMB) can only be achieved at competition level with an additional Elite Master Bowmen (EMB) outdoors.
Your classifications are reported by the Records Officer at the end of each season.
