Queen's and King's Archery Championship June 20, 2009
About 74 archers took the field to compete for the honor of serving Their Majesties as Archery Champions. All partipants were allowed to try their skill on the full course of 11 challenging shoots. As the top 16 scorers were announced, each was asked if they wished to compete for the Champion titles and obligations. Only 1 finalist, Sir Kai MacLain (145), chose to step out of the competition. The 16 finalists were addressed by Her Majesty, Gabriella, then commenced shoot-offs against their seeded competitors. Here are the results:
