252 SCHEME

Little Abbey Bowmen 252 Award Scheme

Little Abbey Bowmen is keen to encourage all members to develop their archery and have therefore introduced a 252 Award Scheme.

The 252 award scheme is designed to help you practice your shooting at different distances and recognise your achievements.

Our 252 Scheme is now active for all members of Little Abbey Bowmen. The purpose of this scheme is to encourage archers to progress to longer distances as they develop as an archer. By achieving a minimum score on two separate occasions, a badge will be awarded.

After 6 sighters, you shoot 3 dozen arrows on a 122cm face at your chosen distance. The round can be shot at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 or 100 yds with the aim of scoring 252 or better (lower scores at 80 and 100 yards for Barebow and Longbow). You only have to achieve the score once to claim a badge.

The Rules

• Six sighters to be followed immediately by three dozen scored arrows

• 5-zone scoring (Gold = 9, Red = 7, Blue = 5, Black = 3, White = 1) using a 122cm target face.

• In the interests of consistency, a score of 252 or greater (or the equivalent longbow, compound or barebow score) needs to be achieved twice to qualify for the corresponding award.

• To make an award claim, a signed and witnessed score sheet needs to be submitted to the club’s Records Officer
