The competition is a Western Round where all archers shoot at targets set at 60 and 50 yards. Archers shoot 4 dozen arrows at 60 yards followed by 4 dozen arrows at 50 yards.

Due to space restrictions we are not able to offer the shorter junior distances. Juniors (under 18) are welcome to take part but have to shoot the senior distance (60/50 yards).

Wenlock Olympian medals are awarded for compound, recurve, barebow, longbow and traditional depending on the number of entries in each class. In addition medals are awarded for the best performance by both junior and senior novice.

All archers must be members of Grand National Archery Society (GNAS), archery’s UK governing body for the sport of archery; and Archery GB, archery’s governing body in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. International archers are requested to contact the organiser regarding accreditation.

The event is registered as a National Record Status event which means that competitors can set or break National records.
