County Records
Surrey Archery maintains County Records across as many Rounds, disciplines and bow styles as is practical. New record categories may be added for if participation by Surrey archers warrants it.
Where a scoring system for a round changes, or county records for a round are discontinued the old records are kept but will be published in green in the listings.
The County Records can be viewed/downloaded:

County Rankings
Surrey Archery maintains an annual outdoor Ranking List of Surrey archers. Ranking is based on scores achieved in 12 dozen or 6 dozen Rounds:
- Archery GB Imperial – York, Hereford and Bristol Rounds
- Archery GB Metric – Metric I – V Rounds
- World Archery (WA) – Men, Women and Cadet WA1440 Rounds
- World Archery (WA) – Men, Women and Cadet Double WA 720 Rounds
- World Archery (WA) – Single WA 720 Rounds
Imperial scores are converted to metric scores using the nearest handicap points. Only the Longest Distance Rounds recognised for Age Group and Gender (as set out in Archery GB Rules of Shooting Rule 308 (b)) are eligible. Final Ranking uses an archer’s highest 3 eligible scores during the season.
See details below for eligibility and how to be included on the County Rankings.
Team Selection
Surrey Archery selects teams to represent the County in matches and tournaments. The Selection Committee seeks to select those Surrey archers who are in the best current form and are available to compete, through a fair, open and transparent process, based on current Ranking and Performance.
Only Archers with outdoor scores that are a minimum of B3 Classification for their age group and gender will be eligible to be selected. For indoor the eligibility for selection are Archers with scores which are IB3 classification or above.
A minimum number of scores achieved at external (non Club) tournaments and competitions will be required.
Details of upcoming County Matches and Tournaments, together with relevant dates and any additional eligibility requirements will be published in the News section on this website.
Additional guidelines on Team Selection are available:
