Welcome to Croesoswallt Archers

Croesoswallt archer Jack Roberts claimed county honours on Sunday 23rd August, winning the 2026 Shropshire Senior Gents County Handicap Championship held as part of Audco Archers’ annual Architectural Heritage Shoot.

The County Handicap Championship is decided on a handicap basis, allowing archers of different abilities to compete on an equal footing. Each archer’s handicap allowance is added to their actual score, with the trophy awarded to the eligible Shropshire archer achieving the highest adjusted score.

Against strong county competition, Jack produced the best handicap-adjusted score of the day to take the Shropshire Senior Gents County Handicap Championship trophy.

The competition uses rounds from the National family. Senior archers shoot either a Long National (80/60 yards) or National (60/50 yards), while juniors shoot shorter National rounds according to age. Each round consists of 72 arrows (48 at the longer distance and 24 at the shorter) using five-zone scoring.

A fantastic achievement for Jack, a well-deserved county title, and another excellent result for Croesoswallt Archers.
