What is a frostbite round?

The SCAA have a record for it but I can find no information about it.
What distances, target sizes and special rules are there?

Shot during the winter/indoor season.

It is 36 arrows shot at 30m on an 80cm face, using 10 zone scoring.

Shot OUTSIDE

Cue wind, rain, hail and generally freezing - hence the name.

Unless you are in Somerset then it is just the inner ten for compounds. We like to be different

I agree, I don't think there's mention of it in the GNAS green books and I too have often wondered where it came from. My club shoots in the Frostbite league.

The Frostbite is a purely made up invention by the British Archer Postal League decades ago, and is not a GNAS recognised round.

I have been shooting them since I started archery in 1970.

These 'frostbite' shoots always make me laugh. There we are outside all year round, come rain, wind or shine and then half of the year all of the 'tecchies' bugger of indoors leaving us all alone to have a lot of fun. Then every now and then they turn up, get all stressy about targets, stay for an hour and half then vanish agian for another month. It's great!

Winter. Portsmouths and Frostbites >_<
This is why I like the summer season. Not the weather (tho it helps), it's the variety.
