Classification Badges

We take part in the Archery GB Classification Scheme which enables archers to be awarded badges signifying their current shooting standard. To qualify for a particular outdoor badge an archer needs to obtain appropriate scores in 3 rounds which must be at recognized club shoots or tournaments. The rounds need not be all the same but must be shot in the same season. 

 

For outdoor rounds, the classifications are:

Archer 3rd Class, Archer 2nd Class, Archer 1st Class, Bowman 3rd Class, Bowman 2nd Class, Bowman 1st Class, Master Bowman, Grand Master Bowman and Elite Master Bowman with suitable awards for Juniors.

 

Only Archery GB can award the top three levels of Master Bowman, Grand Master Bowman and Elite Master Bowman (both at senior and junior levels).

 

Once you have recorded 3 scores at a certain level on a club target day or at a tournament you will be awarded a badge within the same year.

252 Badges

The 252 scheme consists of shooting 3 dozen arrows at increasing distances with a 9-based scoring (5 zone).
When a score of 252 or more is achieved three times, a quiver badge is awarded displaying the distance and the legend 252.

The badges are available at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 80 and 100 yard distances.

So your average recurve arrow score needs to be 7 (252 divided by 36 arrows).

You can shoot a 252 round separately or you can also achieve the award when shooting any outdoor round where you have scored 252 or more at a set distance with your first 36 arrows. You need to achieve this score three times to obtain the badge.

If you are shooting a different bow type to Recurve there are different scores for you. Please click link below
