You may have read the article on what a handicap is and how it works – but how do you go about getting one ?
It’s really very easy, and the sooner you get one, the sooner you can start to shoot in handicap competitions – like CADAC’s own monthly league.
You need to shoot three Archery GB rounds.
Most people start with a National 30, which is 4 dozen arrows at 30 yards and 2 dozen at 20. Submit your score each time in the usual way on Golden Records and after 3 you’ll get your first handicap. Every score you submit after that will be used to keep your handicap updated and reflect your improving ability.

You can have a handicap for each bow type you shoot, e.g. one for recurve, one for compound, etc.
Handicaps are reassessed annually, based on the best 3 scores from the last season. Outdoor Handicap Tables
And that’s all there is to it, so – if you don’t have a handicap – get down to the range and on the way to one.
Happy shooting!
