The Royle Hutton Memorial Shoot - GGWAS style
The Royle Hutton memorial shoot is an annual tournament held each year on Waitangi Day, 6th February to commemorate Royle Hutton, the founder of Youth Archery in New Zealand. This postal shoot is shot regardless of the weather and is shot wet or fine under minor tournament conditions at any clubs archery grounds.
The round shot is a Burton Round, which is very similar to the Windsor round from the UK (30 arrows at 60/50/40 yards with a single sighter end at 60 yards only and 5 Zone 9,7,5,3,1 scoring) but with a sighter end each of the 3 distances which are rounded to the nearest meter (55/46/37 Meters) and metric 10 Zone scoring.
While it is only members of Archery New Zealand that can have their scores formally entered to ANZ, we at the GGWAS like to run this as a club competition placing the targets out at the Official distances and if our members cannot reach that far, something suitable but a little closer.
