| Your Club should have a Green Book, it has lists of rounds and the handicap associated with a certain score for that round, I am not 100% but I believe you must shoot 3 rounds in order to get a handicap, the rounds have to be properly scored by a second etc. I will be going through this shortly with my club to try and get a handicap.
As far as I am aware a handicap is used when you shoot away in a competition, there are handicap medals at some competitions awarded to archer or archers who score the best above their handicap.
Someone else may give you a more detailed explanation and no doubt correct some of the stuff I have written I am not 100% on all the details.
