    The competition

    • Runs for 5 months: 1 October to the end of February.
    • Shoot the round as often as you like each month; send only your best score of the month.
    • Scores must reach Richard by midnight on the last day of each month.
    • Monthly results are published as the season goes on. Medals at the end of the season, with a separate medal for overseas guests.
    • All abilities welcome – you are shooting against yourself.

    Equipment

    • Thumb draw only. Any arrow, shot off the hand and on the thumb side of the bow (bow in the left hand → arrow on the right side).
    • No shelves or rests.
    • No sights, pencil marks on the limb, elastic bands or ground markers.

    The Portsmouth round

    • 5 dozen arrows (60) on a standard 60cm face at 20 yards (18m). Indoors or out, wherever you have space.
    • Ends of 3 arrows. Ends of 6 are allowed if you are short of time.
    • 10-zone scoring, 10 down to 1. No need to mark Xs – a gold is a 10. A miss is always M.
    • No timed ends.

    Scoring

    • Don't touch the arrows until all of them are scored.
    • An arrow cutting a line scores the higher value.

    Sending your score

    • Send the score sheet with your total, hits and 10s filled in – Richard will not add it up for you.
    • Send it to Richard by email or Facebook Messenger. His contact details are in the competition post on the Thumb Shooters UK group.
    • Please say what arrows you use: wood, carbon, aluminium or other.
