The 252 awards are designed to help you practice your shooting at different distances and recognise your achievements.
Because it is about improving your groupings at different distances, it is primarily used outdoors.
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 yards with the aim of scoring 252 or better (252 for recurve – alternative scores apply for other bow types).
If you achieve the score TWO times you can claim a badge.
It is an award scheme in use at many archery clubs in the UK and applies to all archers, irrespective of age, ability or bow type (scores differ by bow type).
