If you want to progress your archery then it is strongly recommended that you undertake the Club’s 252 programme. The programme is based upon achieving or exceeding a set score shooting 3 dozen arrows at increasing distances. To develop your consistency, the aim is to achieve this score at the same chosen distance on 3 separate occasions before moving on to the next distance. Once you complete the 3 scores you are eligible for our 252 award for that distance.

The 252 round can be shot at the following distances: 20yds, 30yds, 40yds, 50yds, 60yds, 80yds & 100yds.

• You get 6 sighter arrows.
• You shoot 3 dozen arrows on a 122cm face at your chosen distance.
• You score the round using the Imperial 5 zone scoring method (9,7,5,3,1).
• AGB shooting rules apply

Your score must be recorded on a score sheet, available from the clubhouse, or using a scoring app. But it must be independently verified by the Field Captain or another senior (over 18) member.

A distance award may be claimed multiple times if different bow types are used – recurve, compound, longbow, barebow.

Badges start at 20 yards, and the awards are as in the following table:

Claims for awards should be placed in the 252 tray in the clubhouse or Cricket changing room including your email address so we can let you know when to collect your badge. If you want more information, please contact Mike Pearce.
