The Howard Bowmen
You get 6 sighter arrows
You shoot 3 dozen arrows on a 122cm face at your chosen distance.
You score the round using the 5 zone scoring method [so 9 for a gold, 7 for a red etc]
For each round that you achieve the required score or better (see Table below) you can
claim a badge that you can then proudly display.
The aim of the round is to get a score of 252 or better [there are adjusted target scores for longbow, barebow and compound) archers - see below] – keep in mind that the maximum score for 36 arrows when using 5 zone scoring is 324, so achieving a score of 252 (an average of 7 per arrow) even at the shorter distances is quite a challenge.
Your chosen round can be shot at the following distances...
20 yds, 30 yds, 40 yds, 50yds, 60 yds, 80yds & 100yds.
......commencing initially at the shortest distance that you feel comfortable with shooting..and progressing to the next longer distance, after each badge has been claimed. 3 separate scores per distance 252 Badges will be awarded as soon as possible after each claim has been made.
