30 Arrow Challenge

In 2021, archers were invited to a little friendly competition – all bows, all ages and all levels are welcome. *** The results used to be on separate posts but they are now all combined on this page.

Barebow – Compound – Horsebow – Longbow – Recurve

• 30 arrows inside or
• 36 arrows outside
• 10 / 18 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 90 meters
• 40 / 60 / 80 / 122 cm target (full face, trispot, Vegas…whatever you have access to)

For those stuck in a situation where 18m is not possible, please decide your own distance and target face and I will make categories as required. For example, 5 meters on 20cm target.

If you are new to archery, please look up your local club. This challenge is made for both novice archers and those with experience.

You can do 3 / 6 arrows in 2 / 4 minutes if that makes you feel most comfortable BUT you can also take more time if you need it or increase the number of arrows per end. You can also shoot inside or outside too. You can do as many bow types as you wish. The goal is to get some scores in without any pressure and to allow anyone, anywhere to participate no matter what facilities are available. Scoring your arrows is based on the honour system so just do your best. There is no need to film your shot or submit a full score sheet either.
