Clout Classification Scheme
Gordano Valley Archers now administers the Clout Classification Scheme up to Bowmen standard.
As with the ArcheryGB classifications, an archer must shoot three rounds at the appropriate level, within the archery year and the validated score or result sheets passed to Chris for ratification.
Once a classification has been achieved for each bow type, the classification is held for a year and archers may if they wish purchase an award badge to display their success.
