GNAS Arrow Awards for Juniors

[mk1]

I know GNAS run the JAWS - Junior Award Scheme, but in the "Rule Book" under Shooting Awards there are GNAS Arrow Awards for Juniors. There's nothing (I can find) on the GNAS site and I've asked some parents/juniors up here who are competive whether they have any of the badges and drew a blank.

Does anyone know how active (for want of a better expression) these awards are before I go and hassle the GNAS office

Hi,

Yes, arrow awards are very much part of the GNAS in the same way as roses. If you go to the GNAS web site - go to "documents" on the top bar and download the SAP pdf file (Shhoting Admin Procedures) - section 6-2! It is for juniors up to 16, and you have to submit 4 qualifying 12-doz rounds in a calender year depending on age.

Good luck

On and yes they are very active! Once you have got the relevant scores, if your club doesn't have a claim form, give the office a quick call and they will put one in the post to you!

MrM thanks - as I said they are in the GNAS book - I just could find anyone who'd claimed them, so its good to hear they are alive and well. I'll have to pay more attention to Junior's quivers in future to see whats pinned there in amongst those dinky little rose badges they get.

GNAS could put the Claim form on the website though

Thanks for that info, printed off pages 20 - 22, checked Cal's scores and he can claim the red award. Showed him when he came in for lunch, he's really chuffed.

Will get some claim forms so our secretary can keep some in stock. As only one score needs to be in a competition, target days count, it'll be worth encouraging other juniors in the club next year to try for them.

Excellent
