Abbey Bowmen 252 award scheme
The 252 badges are awards for achieving a score of 252 or better at different distances in the outdoor season. This scheme is used at many archery clubs and is designed to help you practice at different distances and reward your achievements.
The 252 score is set for Recurve Archers. However, the required score is adjusted for different bow types and the score requirement for all bow types is summarised in the table below. It is only 3 dozen arrows and all can give this a go!
THE AWARDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
(All badges have “252” on them)
RULES OF THE AWARD SCHEME
To be eligible for a 252 award the following rules need to be followed:
Archery GB Rules of shooting to apply
The score must be witnessed and the score sheet signed by another club archer
Only Six sighters allowed at the start of the round
Three dozen arrows to be shot immediately after 6 sighters.
5 zone scoring.
Three dozen arrows can be shot on their own or as part of the first three dozen arrows of a longer imperial round.
Distances can be shot in any order. However, we recommend new members should claim awards in sequence as it’s an excellent way to know you’re ready to shoot longer distances.
Scores need to be achieved and reported twice in the calendar year to qualify for an award.
Qualifying scores for a given distance must be shot on different days.
