- Portsmouth competition shoots should be shot on a 60cm, 10 ring face. Compound archers to use three spot faces with only the X ring scoring 10 points. This league requests we score Xs – see below.

- Scoring starts immediately after, with twenty ends of 3 shots. (60 shots total)
- Scores should be called out by the archer and confirmed/filled in by the witness.
- If you are unsure how Portsmouth competitions are shot, just shoot your round with a more experienced archer and they will help guide you through the process.
- The first badge awarded will be free. Subsequent badges can be swapped for your lower badge at no cost or purchased outright for a small fee
- Lower ranked badges will not be awarded after higher ranks have been earned, except in different bow categories.
