Six Gold End Badge

GNAS award a six gold end badge if you put all six arrows into the gold at one end during an archery round at the required distance. For junior archers the distance depends on your age varying from 30 yards/30 metres to 80 yards/70 metres. If you do shoot a six gold end during a round then let a senior archer know so they can check whether it qualifies or not and if so get the application in.You can only be awarded one six gold end badge.

Classification Medals

GNAS run a classification scheme based on scores for a round. The classifications are Junior Master Bowman, Junior Bowman, 1st Class, 2nd Class and 3rd Class. To obtain a class you need to make three qualifying scores for that class during a year. GNAS award a medal for Junior Master Bowman. Medals for other classification qualifications are made by the club and awarded at the Spring Handicap, Club champs and Charles Wilson handicap shoots. You can see how many qualifying scores for a class you have made in the Members Area of the website under 'This Year Outdoor Handicaps/Classification'. You can only qualify for each class medal once and cannot get lower class medals after getting a higher class medal.
