GNAS Rounds

Standard imperial target

GNAS rounds mostly use imperial systems, so distances are in yards. Target faces however are measured in inches or centimetres depending on the round.

For GNAS imperial outdoor events, a 5-zone scoring system is used:

Standard Metric Target
Target faces use the 5-zone scoring zone system as follows (centre to outer edge):

97 53 1

In practice, a metric 10-zone target is often used, but the scoring for imperial rounds remain as described above, ignoring any division in the coloured rings.

For GNAS metric outdoor and all GNAS indoor events, the 10-zone scoring system is used:

Standard Metric Target
Each colour band on the target face has two divisions which are scored as follows (centre to outer edge):

109 87 65 43 21

The exception is the yellow which has three scoring sections. For compund bows, only the innermost circle scores 10 points and the outer two score 9. For other bow types, the two inner circles score 10 points and the outer yellow scores 9 points.

Worcester target

The Worcester target is somewhat different to others, being a 16" white on black face.

Worcester target

Scoring is as follows (centre to outer edge):

54 32 1

Rounds

A full round is often shot over several different distances (particularly outdoor). In these cases you shoot at the longest distance first, then progress to the next longest and so on. The same sized target is used throughout. The longest distance sometimes has the most arrows shot at it, and the number of arrows usually decreases as the distance gets shorter. Other rounds have the same number of arrows shot at each distance.

Traditionally the number of arrows is stated in dozens, so a 3 dozen end will consist of 36 arrows. Normally three arrows are shot at a time, then the arrows are scored and collected, before the next three arrows are shot. See below for distances, target sizes and number of arrows shot. There are traditionally gentlemen, ladies and junior rounds, but this tends to be more the norm at competitions and anyone can actually shoot any type of round as preferred during practice.

Given the nature of our indoor shooting hall, the Portsmouth round is most often shot at the Bowmen Of Leeds club indoor shooting evenings.
