The Archery GB Clout Bolt-On Award is a specialist training module designed to introduce archers and instructors to the unique discipline of clout archery. Unlike traditional target archery, clout involves shooting arrows over long distances toward a flag placed flat on the ground, with scoring zones radiating outward. This bolt-on course is ideal for those looking to expand their archery repertoire and gain the skills needed to safely deliver and participate in clout sessions. It covers the fundamentals of clout technique, range setup, safety protocols, and scoring systems, ensuring participants understand both the practical and historical aspects of this traditional format.
The course is structured to complement existing Archery GB Instructor or Coach qualifications, offering a focused pathway for those wishing to specialise or diversify their coaching portfolio. Participants will learn how to adapt equipment and instruction for clout shooting, manage longer-range safety considerations, and engage archers in a format that blends precision with heritage. Whether you’re part of a club looking to offer new experiences or an instructor keen to broaden your teaching scope, the Clout Bolt-On Award provides the knowledge and confidence to bring this exciting discipline to life.
