Or any other class really- if you shoot two scores in one season does it carry over to the next or do you have to start again with three new scores?

Think you'll find you have to go back to square one :( Once achieved the classification stands for one year following that in which it was obtained, then if you haven't shot your three qualifying scores you get reclassified.

Somebody told me that the only classifications that had to be renewed year on year were Bowman and above.

No - same deal for all classifications. The only 'division' in how they are dealt with is up to and including 'Bowman' is dealt with at club level - any higher needs to be ratified by GNAS.

Only exception to this is Flight. Get a classification there once, you've got it for life.

FLIGHT is the discipline where you attempt to shoot further than anyone else. It's pure distance shooting, no target involved.

Nope. You have to qualify fresh every year, but the wording is a little screwy:
"the qualification... holds for one year immediately following that in which it is gained."
but,
"If it is not maintained during that year, reclassification shall be on the scores made during that year."
So... if you shot bowman one year, you'd be classed as bowman in the following year, as well. Even if you only made first class that year. The year after that, you would go down to first class...

And just to complicate matters, if you have a year where you don't shoot enough rounds to qualify (having had a classification before that) you become "non-classified", the following year, until such time as you've shot 3 rounds.

MB and GMB only differ in the rounds you have to shoot (and where) and that you have to *claim* them from GNAS.

Briefly, If you got a classification last year it lasts until the end of this year during which time you have to shoot for it again. If you only got two of the three (welcome to the club :bang: ) you start again on Jan 1st from scratch

Nearly... If you were starting from scratch you would be "unclassified", if you've had a classification before, then you would be "non-classified". This just prevents beginners being lumped in with experienced archers who just haven't shot much recently...
