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.
