This is a series of 6 handicap competitions held over a six-month period from October 2025 through to February 2026.
The events are based on a handicap system, with points awarded at each event. There will be a perpetual trophy awarded to the winners in the Handicap section and also trophies medals for the scratch sections.
The series of events will be at two different venues as follows:
Leg 1 - St Peregrines GAA Club, Blakestown Road, Dublin
(October 11th)
Leg 2 - St Peregrines GAA Club, Blakestown Road, Dublin
(November 25th)
Leg 3 - St Mary's Community Sports Campus, Edgeworthstown, Longford (November 16th)
Leg 4 - St Mary's Community Sports Campus, Edgeworthstown, Longford (December 7th)
Leg 5 -St Peregrines GAA Club, Blakestown Road, Dublin
(January 10th)
Leg 6 - St Mary's Community Sports Campus, Edgeworthstown, Longford (February 8th)
The handicap for the 6 events will be worked out in the following way:
Events are a WA18 shot on a Vegas three spot triangular face, using the Vegas scoring method (all archers score the large 10, the small 10 counting as X's for tie breaks).
The handicap will be 80% of the difference between the average score and 300 (e.g. an archer averages 290, and their handicap will be 80% of (300 - 290) = 8
All returning archers will shoot off the handicap that they finished last years competition on.
All new archers will be required to submit two 30 arrow rounds using the vegas scoring method.
All scores for the vegas round must be shot either at recognised competitions or at monitored club nights, with scoresheets signed by a club official.
We will accept Vegas scores that were shot in the last 24 months, but will need to be on Ianseo
Signed scoresheets can be uploaded when purchasing entries into each leg
once entering scores have been entered there is no need to submit further scores
Handicaps will change over the course of the events - but will never change by more than 50% of the difference between 2 average scores- e.g. if archers average changes between events from 200 to 220 - the handicap will drop to 81 from 90 and not down to 72, the handicap will not increase.
If an archer does not supply any entering scores, their handicap will be worked out from their first two 30 arrow scores in a competition proper.
Competition format:
Each event will be run as three separate sessions of 30 arrows, with an archer counting their best 30 arrow score on each day to count towards the result of that day.
There are three opportunities for each archer to record their best score on the day of each leg of the competition.
An archer can enter any combination of the three sessions on each individual day.
Each session is purchased separately for each competition
Cost of each 30 arrow session is €8

Points will be awarded based on the position in the daily standings at each event starting at 100 pts for first place and ending at 1pt for 40th place
All entrants will be entered into both the handicap section and their relevant scratch section (Compound/Recurve/Barebow)
Re-entry on the day of a competition:
