Summer and Winter Individual Leagues

Individual Summer and winter leagues

The Summer and Winter Individual Leagues are run by Archery NZ in order to encourage archers to shoot regularly, see themselves improve over time, and achieve results at their own club.

Each event runs over either the summer months or the winter months, for 15 weeks for each event.

Divisions are open – there are no gender or age divisions – and there are certificates for the overall high scorer in each division, as well as the handicap winner in each division. Points are awarded for each score each week – the top 10 scores are taken over the 15 week period.

Please view the rules below and we hope you can enjoy!

Registration is through ArcheryOSA.com
