Bowmen classifications.

[Neo]

Right then as the outdoor season approaches im unsure of a few things.

I have not yet shot outdoors yet this has been my second indoor season as i had to go to spain to work as part of my degree last summer.

how do the bow men classifications work and at what stage do you obtain them.

What round do you have to shoot and at what scores do you obtain each one?

Can you gain more than one a year?

You obtain these by shooting scores of a particular level for each round. You need three of the same, or higher level to achieve it. You can achieve any classification in a year, but MB and GMB must be done at record shoots.
All of the scores required are in the GNAS rulebook (might also be online, but I've never looked).

Ive just been on GNAS.org and can't find it.

If anyone knows what scores you need to shoot and at what rounds that would be helpful.

TBH, yes, But they are several pages long and I haven't got hours to type them in!

Quick google search of "GNAS Classifications"
