Rose Awards

Great Britain's Grand National Archery Society (GNAS), introduced the Rose awards in 1992, to give incentives for archers to shoot the traditional York and Hereford rounds. Rose awards are given for achieving certain score levels on the York (for men) and Hereford (for women) rounds. The York round consists of 72 arrows 100 yards, 48 arrows at 80 yards, and 24 arrows at 60 yards, all shot at a 122cm targets, scoring 9, 7, 5, 3, 1. The Hereford round for ladiesis similar, but at the distances 80 yards, 60 yards and 50 yards. Compound bows shoot the same target face and distances as Olympic bows.

Rose status is granted to some competitions, and should ensure consistency of judging, application of the rules, and field layout. Archers scoring more than certain score levels can apply for a "Rose'' badge.
