6 Gold End - How to claim badge

[maverick petey]

Hi all,

I appear to have got myself confused, not a hard task but there we go, and I'm hoping someone can clarify the process relating to claiming your badge for a 6 gold end.

At the weekend I shot at Fenland AC in their open St Georges shoot, and during my Windsor round, I managed for the first time to shoot a 6 gold end. Now being a newbie to competitions I wasn't sure about the process relating to 6 gold ends and carried on as normal only to be told I had to get a jusge to view the end and sign a claim form, DOH!! Since then its come to my attention that perhaps you don't need a judge to view the end but in fact get the organizing club to complete a claim form and Bingo!

Could someone please enlighten me on what I should do and if there is anything I can do now the shoot as finished and is done and dusted as I am suitably confused

It is not essential to get it signed by a Judge, it does however need to be signed by the tournament organiser. If the shoot was record status, they will have the paperwork as part of the record status booklet, otherwise, the form will have to be obtained from the GNAS office.
The info is in Shooting Administrative Procedures chapter 6 which you can download from the GNAS web site.

You wont be able to claim for a Windsor anyway. You have to shoot six golds at either 100/80Y, or 90/70M as a gent. 80/60Y, 70/60M as a lady.

Absolutely right, I just saw the St Georges bit...

I am going through the same thing and found this :

1. Six Gold Badge
(a) The Six Gold End Badge is for six consecutive arrows shot at one end into the gold
zone during competition at a meeting organised by the Society or any of its associated
bodies or in competition at an associated club Target Day, under GNAS Rules of
Shooting. It is not claimable on sighters but it is not necessary for the round to be
completed. The Badge depicts a stylised target face with 6 arrows in the gold zone over
a label inscribed “SIX GOLDS”. Additional lettering indicates the badges for compound
(d) The shortest distances at which the Badge can be claimed are:
IMPERIAL
MEASUREMENTS
METRIC
MEASUREMENTS
Gentlemen 80 yards 70 metres
Seniors
(e) (i) Claims for the Badge must be submitted to GNAS on the appropriate claim form.
(ii) If the Six Gold End is made at a tournament the Tournament Organiser must sign
the claim form.
(iii) If the Six Gold End is made at an associated club Target Day the Club Secretary
must sign the claim form.

The only thing I can't find is a copy of the claim form.

so who endorses it if you shoot it at a club target day?

[not dead yet]

any club, county, regional secretary should have the yellow 6 gold end claim form.

remember if your claiming a 6 gold end it is best to have score sheet signed by a judge at an open tourny, or a club official at a club tourny. the score sheet needs to be sent off with the form.

Thanks all, appears I was confused in all aspects, never mind. I'll just have to do it again at a proper distance.

Thanks again all, at least I now know what i need to do in the future.

Not sure if it used to be this way. If so it does not appear to be so now. You do not need to send the score sheet first up, however GNAS can come back and ask for the score sheet to be sent.



For 6-gold ends shot on a club target day the forms asks that the club secretary signs.

For ones shot in tournament it asks that the tournament organiser signs.

The reason for that is all claim forms are different colours ie: six gold end claim form is on yelow paper, hence the reason for no PDF versions of the claim forms.
As far as i am aware unless your club secatary has copies of all the claim forms then you need to get in touch with GNAS direct stating which form you require.
