Ahoy, archers, toxophilites, and other twangsters!

Coming on Sunday 8th June 2025, The Vanguard Centre is hosting another archery tournament to give extra challenges and competitions to our existing archers, to break the ice with other archery clubs and archers around Glasgow, and of course: finding out who amongst us is the best shot! We are now happily running a small tournament such as this every season, so there is always something to be practising for throughout the year.

This event will be run over a series of rounds at different ranges, with formally organised groups of competitors shooting at each distance for multiple ends, and accumulating scores.
For this competition, instead of the established Vanguard Nonsense League scoring, we will be following a version of the Archery GB Indoor scoring method. Competitors will be issued a score card with entry boxes for all their arrows at different distances, which will be updated throughout the competition with supervision from the Vanguard staff acting as judges.

As per usual Vanguard Archery events, loaner equipment will be provided included in the entry costs. Competitors are welcome to use their own equipment for the competition, subject to safety check by the staff at the start of the event. Please ensure any maintenance and servicing on personal equipment is undertaken in advance so there is no interruption to proceedings unless absolutely necessary. It is advised competitors bring at least 9 complete arrows and replacement nocks and heads for the same make and model to effect replacements and repairs as necessary. A setup area will be provided for construction and maintenance of bows and other equipment.

Sights, optical or electric enhancements to bows will not be allowed, but other accessories such as balance bars, shock absorbers and stabilisers will be accepted.
Telescopes or field glasses will be allowed by archers to see their own arrows and judge performance at range without crossing the shooting line.

Rounds will proceed over the following numbers of arrows and distances:
– 4 rounds of 6 arrows at 18 meters, 80cm target
– 4 rounds of 6 arrows at 25 meters, 80cm target
– 4 rounds of 6 arrows at 30 meters, 80cm target

Scores will be counted in the manner of Archery GB Metric 10-zone scoring, Ie: 1 point to 10 points from the outer white ring to the inner gold ring. Centre 10 zone (“bullseye”) will be marked as “X”, scoring 10 points and counting toward tie-breaker or finals qualification factors.
Misses will be marked as “M”, scoring zero points, and being used for counting against tie-breaker or finals qualification factors.
Bounces, ricochets and strikes against other arrows will be called at the judges’ discretion.

Further details may be updated closer to the time of the event, or discussed with staff and organisers via social media or email beforehand.

— Time and date: —

The Summer No-Nonsense Cup will be held at The Vanguard Centre on Sunday June 8th, 2025, commencing at 11.00am. The event is estimated to end at 2.30pm, but may be later due to organisational issues or high attendance prolonging the event.
