252 Scheme


The 252 scheme consists of shooting 3 dozen arrows at increasing distances using Imperial scoring (9, 7, 5, 3, 1), with 6 sighter arrows first on a 122 cm target face.

When a score of 252 or more is achieved, a quiver badge is awarded for displaying the distance and the legend 252.  These are available at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 80 and 100 yard distances.
