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 Archery GB Junior National Rankings for 2025 are now available! Read on to find out more, including how to submit any missing scores.
You can view the junior rankings by clicking here. This year, as per this article, we have automatically included scores from all the major Archery GB events such as the Junior Championships, Junior Archery Series stages, National Tour stages and other national events. We have also included other competitions where we have received score data and can reliably match the scores and the rounds shot and are able to calculate the handicaps.
We have made these changes so it's easier to take part, which we hope will lead to more young people being included.
If you have any issues with the information on the form, please use the 'Contact us' option on the form itself.
If you do not wish to be a part of the Junior National Rankings for 2025 and your scores have been automatically included, please email competitions@archerygb.org and we will make sure you are not included in the final publication.
Well done to everyone who competed in 2025 and earned eligible scores.

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.
The standings are 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 rankings are 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.
Scores shot at these official Archery GB events will be included automatically:
We welcome the submission of additional scores via this link.
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.
