Submittal of Records, Qualification Scores and Awards

Any archer who wishes to submit a record, award or qualification needs to submit a scanned copy or photo of the signed scorecard along with the a description of what is being claimed to records@archery.ie

A digital copy must be forwarded to allow for proof of submittal and archiving. Paper copies will not be accepted.

In the event of an archer shooting a score where the scorecards are not available post competition, eg. European Championships, World Championships, the official published scores by the competition organizers or FITA will be accepted as proof.

Only scores shot at FITA Star/WRS shoots can be considered eligible for records. This is to ensure as equal a foot as possible for all archers.
