Somerset Junior Records - New Look
The Somerset Junior records have been revamped and are now split by
age groups. This means there are now an awful lot of records up for
grabs.
Claiming a record remains the same in that the round must be shot at a
tournament (this does not need to be record status or shot in the
county).
The archer needs to send in the result sheet, ideally by email, and
scores they are claiming, for instance on a Metric round as well as the
overall 12 dozen score there are distance totals etc. now included.
