Hampstead Bowmen “252″ Challenge
The “252″ challenge is a badge scheme to encourage accuracy and good grouping at all distances. This is a challenge for all members of the club; both novices and experienced archers.
The challenge is to score 252 points with 3 dozen arrows on a 122cm target face at set yard distances. Six sighters are allowed to start. This challenge encourages accuracy and good grouping at all distances as you need to average all 36 arrows scoring in the red to achieve a score of 252.
The round is scored with imperial scoring (9,7,5,3,1) at all distances.
Those who successfully complete each distance will receive a colour quiver badge as follows:
20 yards – White
30 yards – Black
40 yards – Blue
50 yards – Red
60 yards – Gold
80 yards – Green
100 yards – Orange
Rules:
- The score of 252 or more to be shot from 3 dozen arrows (36), using 5-zone scoring (9, 7, 5, 3, 1) on a 122cm target face
- The 3 dozen arrows may be shot alone, or as the first 3 dozen of a longer imperial round.
- There is no restriction on the order of distances in which badges are obtained (ie a 30 yard badge may be obtained before a shorter distance is attempted). Therefore you may achieve your 60 yards, then go for a 20 yard badge
