Claiming a County Record

Eligibility

To qualify to hold a county record, the applicant must ensure that all of the following criteria were met at the time that the round was shot:

You must be a member or associate member of the KAA.
You must have shot and scored the round in complete compliance with ArceryGB regulations, at any tournament or published club target day.
You must have shot a round or distance for which the county maintains a record for your age group. Please note that:
- juniors cannot compete for a senior record;
- juniors can only claim records for target rounds that contain the maximum distance required for their age and gender, or a longer distance.
You must either have shot a score that exceeds an existing record, or shot a score for a round for which no record currently exists.

To receive a Kent county record, the archer must additionally:

claim the record using the County Record Claim Form and send it to the county Records Officer,
provide evidence of the score on either a tournament results sheet or a correctly completed score sheet;
- Note: score sheets must be completed in accordance with ArcheryGB regulations and must be signed by both the archer and scorer and certified on the back by a club official that the round was shot and scored in complete compliance with ArcheryGB regulations;
make the claim within six months of the score being shot.
- Note: it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that their club Records Officer follows the correct process within the required time scale. If in doubt, please contact the county Records Officer in plenty of time.

The KAA Committee will acknowledge a record:

if the county Records Officer is satisfied that all of the above conditions have been met;
after ratification at the next meeting of the county committee;
in the minutes of that meeting;
in any other additional manner that the committee or Records Officer shall from time to time agree.
