The 2024 GNAM brought almost 100 archers to Lilleshall National Sports Centre, in Shropshire.
Archers from all over the country came to Lilleshall to shoot the 169th edition of one of the UK's most historic archery events. The shoot brings together people of all ages, genders, bowstyles, and abilities for an enjoyable, relaxed weekend of archery.
This year, we also brought back a third day of shooting on the Friday, allowing for as many arrows and more fun-filled hours to be shot as possible. Not only that, but eight UK records were broken across the weekend! Congratulations to those archers:
Paul Davies, who was taking part in his first GNAM and first shoot at Lilleshall, said: "This was my first GNAM and I was blown away by how friendly everyone was. The fact that so many shorter rounds are available makes this a really inclusive shoot. I'd highly recommend this to everyone. Outstanding effort by everyone involved. I will be back next year and I will definitely bring more people with me. Plus the tea party was top notch."

Charlie Rowe said: "It's amazing being a part of such a long standing tradition. You can really feel the effort that had been put in to make it enjoyable, yet still a well structured and traditional shoot. And that really reflects in how everyone interacted with each other, from the judges, to the field party, and the archers."
If you want to return to shoot GNAM again or if you want to make 2025 your first ever GNAM, add 6-8 June to your calendars! Keep an eye out on our event page next year for more details!
