He says: 'I shot a distance of 304 yards on a calm day with an 85-lb. bow and four-and-ninepenny 28-inch arrow. I could not get a flight-arrow to stand the bow, or I should probably have shot further, as the four-and-ninepenny arrow was one of the old pattern and heavily feathered.'
Captain C. H. Garnett's (John o' Gaunt Bowmen) best score in the York Round amounted to 522, but he has been unable to find a record of the details. The following is another good score made by him on November 17, 1873:
| Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | Hits | Score | |
| 48 | 202 | 34 | 182 | 23 | 127 | = | 105 | 511 |
In October of the same year, in 72 arrows at 100 yards he made 48 hits 220 score, and made 3 golds in one end.
He reports that his father, Mr. H. Garnett, shooting with the John o' Gaunt Bowmen on one occasion, scored 500 in the York Round.
Another John o' Gaunt Bowman, Mr. B. P. Gregson, has scored as much as 497 in the York Round.
