Competitions
Archery is a competitive sport, so what could be more natural than to enter some competitions. We hold our own club competitions, enter local (and some not so local) open competitions and we also hold our own open tournaments each year. We also enter both winter and summer postal leagues. More details and results can be found on the appropriate pages.
Open Competitions hosted at Leamington
The Leamingtom & Midland Counties Tournament
Our major event each year is the Leamington & Midland Counties Tournament, which is a double York / Hereford held over two days, usually early in June. Competitors can shoot one or two days and there are Bristol rounds for juniors. This is a GNAS Record and Rose status event.
Some competitors camp overnight and on the Saturday evening we have a barbeque and use of the rugby club bar.
The WMAS Novices Tournament
The West Midlands Archery Society have a Novices Tournament each year and this has been hosted by Leamington since 2005. The event is held each May and is open to all novice archers. The rounds shot are the Western rounds according to age and the competition is a friendly introduction to competitive archery.
Some Local Competitions
We encourage our members to enter open tournaments, especially the more friendly local ones. A selection of the tournaments we usually attend can be found on the Local Shoots page.

Indoor Championships
The club indoor championships are held in during the winter and are open to all members. The seniors shoot a FITA 18 and the juniors shoot a Portsmouth.
Other Club Competitions
During the year we hold a variety of other competitions which are mainly for fun. We usually manage a field shoot and acouple of clouts outdoors as well as the end of season starlight shoot. Indoors we usually shoot a Worcester and a couple of fun shoots.
Postal Leagues
Postal leagues are all shot at our own ground and our scores are posted off to the organisers who collate the scores and publish the league tables. All except the BA league use both made scores and handicap adjusted scores, so they are suitable for archers of call abilities and all our club members are encouraged to shoot them.
WMAS Summer League
The West Midlands Archery Society Summer League consists of four different rounds shot at intervals during the Summer months. These are the Short Metrics, Westerns, Long Metrics and Nationals. We generally shoot these on a Friday evening club night. The top 5 made scores and the top 5 handicap adjusted scores count towards the team.
CWAA Summer League
The County of Warwichshire Archery Association Summer League consists of three different rounds shot at intervals during the Summer months. These rounds are the Short Metrics, Windsors and Westerns. We also shoot these on a Friday evening club night. The top 4 made scores and the top 4 handicap adjusted scores count towards the team.
WMAS Winter League
The West Midlands Archery Society Winter League consists of a Portsmouth round shot in each of five months, November to March. These are shot indoors and the top 5 made scores and the top 5 handicap adjusted scores count towards the team.
BA Winter League
The BA Winter League is a national league with both indoor and outdoor rounds and separate leagues for recurves, compounds, seniors and juniors. Teams are made up of the top 5 scores and we currently enter two senior and one junior recurve teams for the indoor Portsmouth rounds and one recurve for the outdoor 'Frostbite' league.
