Archery GB Progress Awards
The Newly Up marketed Archery GB Progress Awards are designed to provide beginners and younger archers with awards for developing their archery skills. The junior age groups are aligned with 5 educational key stages. The scheme can also be used as an adult beginner incentive.
The scheme is open to all archers and is operated by archery clubs or by schools, youth groups and similar who practice target archery. There is no requirement for the recipients to be members of Archery GB, although many will be.
There will be a Roll of Honour for those archers achieving the Gold badge, but their names must be registered with the badge scheme co-ordinator.
There will also be a Trophy for the Club or School achieving the most number of badges in one year, but again the individual badges must be registered in the same way as the gold award.
We hope you will enjoy this incentive.
John Willson
Chairman of the Junior Committee.

The Junior Award Scheme is run annually for all archers up to the age of 18, regardless of bow type or discipline. JAWS points are awarded for various achievements, and are recorded in the JAWS booklet. This is then submitted at the end of the year, and the entries ranked by the total points.
There are several trophies in the scheme. The highest points totals in the under-18 and under-15 groups, and the highest annual points increase in those groups all take a trophy. There is also one for the highest handicap improvement during the year. All entrants receive a certificate, and the top 100 receive a badge as well.
The booklet is in three sections. In the first, you get points for your scores in the "Championship" rounds in Target, Field, and Clout, regardless of whether you shot them at a tournament or not. In the second, you get points for entering tournaments, with extra for coming first, second, or third, and bonuses for entering National, Regional or County competitions. In the third section, you get points for lots of other achievements, from improving your handicap to setting National records.
We hope there is something for everyone to aim at, and set their goals for the year. If you have any suggestions for improvement, let the Junior Committee know.
