BAA sent a Recurve team to the SCAS Inter-Counties 2026. Many thanks to John for the following report- Attending the SCAS inter-county competition was the first time Matilda Lang (Little Abbey Bowmen) and John Murphy (South Bucks Archers) had joined such a high level competition and it was an honour to represent the county. Most of the southern counties were represented, with some counties presenting a full team with all four disciplines (RC, BB, LB and Compound) and also wit

The Handicap rankings have been adjusted. There was an error in a submitted score. As well as errors in assigning points totals. These have now been corrected, and an updated pdf is available to download.

It's good to see more archers and teams participating. As per the rules dominant archers (this year from both recurve and barebow) have been selected to form two separate groups (M&F) and will compete across bowstyles using the AGB Handicap Tables. In addition, the remaining Men's recurve archers have been divided into two separate divisions. All other groups remain unchanged due to their relatively small sizes. The resulting rankings and tables can be downloaded from our web
