The National Rankings are open for all members of Archery GB to take part. The National Rankings are split in Target, Field and 3D disciplines for each year and are decided by a number of factors including performance at competitions.
The 2025 junior national target rankings are getting a refresh. Please see the junior section of this page further down to read all about it. You can also check out this article which explains the changes.
The 2024 national target rankings are official! Please check the links in the resource list on this page to discover where you placed.
Jon Nott, Archery GB Events and Competitions Manager, said: "We'd like to apologise for the slight delay in getting the rankings published, this was because of some errors in the data received which required manual checking. We'd like to thank all the Tournament Organisers for submitting scores and the archers who took part and congratulations to all those who ranked."
Please direct any queries in an email to rankings@archerygb.org.
The results are up, congratulations all! If you have any queries or corrections to make, please email competitions@archerygb.org by January 5 2025. No amendments will be made before this date.

The National Rankings are open for all members of Archery GB to take part. The National Rankings for each year are decided by the number of points an archer gains from up to five world record status events within the UK.
2024 will be the first year where barebow archers will earn their national rankings using the same below format as the recurve and compound archers. A vote was taken by the current ranked barebow community to choose to implement this change.

The standings will be published fortnightly on the Archery GB website. Only one result is required to qualify for the National Rankings. If an archer shoots more than five events, only their highest sets of points will be used. Ranking points expire 12 months after they were gained.
Qualifying events are to take place from the first WRS outdoor event of the 2025 season, and must be completed by the second week in October 2025.
The final rankings for any given year will determine the UK number 1 ranked archer. These will be published at the end of the first full week in November. Downloadable certificates will be available to the top 30 ranked archers.
There are 4 Tiers of events, each providing opportunities for archers to score Ranking points.
Either a WA 1440 or a Double 70m/50m, and take place the day before or the day after a Tier 1 event at the same venue (for example the 1440 at the British Target Championships):
Tier 2:
All World Record status head to heads in the UK which are not closed events.
Tier 3:
All World Record Status Single/Double 70m/50m Rounds and WA1440 Rounds. The Definition of a closed event is competition which restricts an archer from being able to enter for any reason other than level of performance. Archers attending closed events will not be allocated Ranking Points.
The number of points awarded will depend on the tier and position of the archer at the end of each competition. Points are awarded for places from 1st to 64th. The following sections outline how points will be awarded for various events.
Points will be awarded for both the WA70/50 and the final Head-to-Head position. If an archer does not compete in the Head-to-Head, they will only receive points for their qualification round position.
If an archer only shoots a single WA70/50 round in a double round they will be awarded points based on the position their final score gives them against all the archers who complete the double round.
For events held over multiple days (e.g. A WA70 and Head-to-Head, and a WA 1440) each day will be classed as a separate event and points awarded will be based on the applicable tier for each round and position.
For events that have multiple rounds on the same day (WA70/50) point swill be awarded based on the result of the double round.
For events where a qualifying round is shot and followed by a team event, only points for the qualifying event will be awarded at Tier 3 level.
It is the responsibility of the tournament organiser to send an electronic copy of the results to results@archerygb.org within 72 hours of the end of the competition. Archery GB will provide a template for scores to be submitted on but will not be responsible for collecting, seeking out nor verifying this information. If the 72-hour limit cannot be achieved, then a notification must be sent to results@archerygb.org as soon as possible.
If results are submitted or received late from any event, Archery GB’s events manager has complete discretion as to whether they will be accepted.
Any dispute or question about a ranking or points total must be direct to rankings@archerygb.org no later than 72 hours after release of the most recent ranking list and have supporting evidence accompanying it. Archery GB will respond within 72 working hours of the appeal and publish the outcome.
Appeals will be considered by a panel led by the Events Manager.
The format that has been put in place for Longbow is:
2 x Record Status WA 1440 rounds
2x 70m FITA 720 rounds
1 x Record Status York/Hereford round
Longbow National Target rankings
As of 2023, we are proud to have launched the Archery GB National Field & 3D Rankings.
Chris Horan, member of The Archery GB Field & 3D Consultation Group, said: "The overarching aim behind this was to provide archers with another tool to measure their progress, whilst simultaneously striving to increase participation in Field and 3D competitions.
We are grateful of the feedback we have received from archers, which has highlighted to us that the format introduced has been positively received. We also welcome any constructive feedback as we look to continue the rankings into the 2024 season.
We would like to thank all of the Tournament Organisers for their assistance in promptly providing their competition results, this has been invaluable to making the rankings a success”.

You can now submit your scores for the 2025 Junior Target National rankings.
The rankings will be calculated using your three best outdoor rounds of the year, which can be taken from any of the following families of rounds shot at World or UK status events:
This table shows which rounds are eligible for each bowstyle, gender, and age group. Some rounds are eligible for all bowstyles, but others are specific to a particular bowstyle. You must submit three scores. Scores must be shot between 1 March and 5 October 2025, and they must be shot at World or UK Record Status events.
For the purposes of rankings, double rounds are treated as two separate single rounds and should be submitted as singles. You can use one or both halves for your ranking submissions.
A form will be available for archers to submit scores at the end of summer 2025.
To reduce the burden on archers, scores from some events will automatically be included in the ranking calculation, so manual submission via the form is only required for better scores shot at other events. We will ensure the best three scores are used for the final calculation.
Scores shot at these official Archery GB events will be included automatically:
We welcome the submission of scores for automatic inclusion in the rankings from other Tournament Organisers, especially if they are running a junior-specific event. Results can be submitted in the same way as the senior rankings - for example, an Ianseo shoot file or a suitable CSV format. For more guidance, please contact rankings@archerygb.org.
The junior rankings are your chance to submit your best scores see your name in lights on Archery GB’s website. Entering the rankings is a great way to track your progress in the sport and see how you compare to other archers of your age and gender shooting the same round and using the same bow type as you.
