Buckinghamshire County Tournament - 1st September 2024

Ahead of the tournament on 1st September, here are some event details for you:

​

1 - Target List

​

​​

2 - Event Timings

Timings are as follows:

0700 Advance party arrives (approx TBC)

0830 Registration opens

0900 Equipment inspection

0945 Assembly brief

1000 Sighters (one end of 6 arrows)

1010 [Approx] Tournament commences (immediately after sighters)


1245 Registration and Equipment Inspection for those who have entered the National round

1300 Sighters for those who have entered the National Round ONLY

1310 [Approx] Afternoon session commences for those shooting York/Hereford/Bristol and those shooting National round (immediately after sighters)

 

NB: IF all of the archers who are shooting in the afternoon session are present and we are ahead of schedule we may commence the afternoon programme sooner if possible. Timings are subject to change dependant on the speed of shooting taking place during the day.

 

Please aim to arrive no earlier than 0800 so that the advance party/field team has sufficient time to prepare. We want to greet you with a smile and help you in the morning, so your assistance with arrival times would be gratefully appreciated.

 

3 - Control of Shooting

Shooting will be controlled by the Chronotir2C timing system, so Method 2 (rule 204(f)ii) will be used for timings. Arrows will be shot in ends of 6, with four minutes per detail. A brief will be provided in the morning, but if you’re not sure of how this works, please ask.

 

4 - Scoring

Suitable score sheets will be prepared for use during the tournament. These are to be passed around the archers on a target so that no individual is scoring their own arrows. If there is only one archer on a target, please score for each other. If you have any questions, I will be on hand during the day to help you. Please bring a pen with you!

 

5 - Refreshments and Catering

There are no on-site catering facilities available at the venue. The Silver Arrow Archery Club have very kindly agreed to provide tea/coffee and cakes throughout the day. Please ensure that you bring sufficient and appropriate food and drink for the duration and anticipated weather. Toilet facilities are available a short walk from the shooting line.

 

6 - Event Location

For those of you who have not been before, the venue address is Sparrow Hill Farm, Edlesborough, LU6 2ES. There is an entrance barrier (What3Words link - https://w3w.co/baseballs.grin.radio) where field party members will greet you on arrival and direct you to the parking. 

​

7 - Queries

If there are any queries, omissions or changes required, please let me know as soon as possible.

I look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Kind Regards,

​
