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

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 only need to achieve this score once to obtain the badge.

Your 252 badges will be presented to you free of charge. Each distance can only be achieved once and you increase your 252 distance to the next level to earn you next badge. Can you collect all eight?

If you are shooting a different bow type to Recurve there are different scores for you, please see the table above.
