Score Sheet

The “300” award is a recognition of an archer’s ability to score 300 points (or more) at a set distance (20 yards), over var5ing amount of arrows on different size faces. It is an award scheme in use at many archery clubs in the UK (We thank Blue Arrows for the idea).  The best features of the award scheme is that it can be shot with the limitation the indoor season offers and it has a hanicapping scheme that recognises the challenages different bow styles experince. At the heart of the scheme is the handicapping table below

Badge Face Size Number of Arrows
Recurve Compound Longbow Barebow
RED 122cm 36 36 45 42
YELLOW 80cm 36 36 45 42
GREEN 60cm 36 36 45 42
BLUE 60cm 34 33 42 39
PURPLE 40cm 34 33 45 42
GOLD 40cm 33 32 42 39

 

As can be seen in the table the face you use changes as you move up the awards, as does the number of arrows you get for each bow style.
