adult 252 ribbon award scheme
objective
To provide even more incentive to progress an archer's standard in open competition. As the name implies, the scheme is only available to seniors (aged 18 and over). To achieve a score of 252 for three dozen arrows requires an average score of 84 per dozen.
rules
- GNAS Rules of Shooting to apply.
- Three dozen (36) arrows to be shot at the specified distance using a 122cm target face and GNAS five zone scoring. The three dozen arrows may be shot alone or as the first three dozen of a longer imperial round.
- Six sighter arrows are permitted which will not count towards the final score.
- A ribbon is awarded when the specified score at a given distance is reached or bettered on three separate occasions.
- There is no restriction on the order of distance in which ribbons are obtained (i.e. a 30yrd ribbon may be obtained before a shorter distance is attempted, which may then be obtained at a later date).
- Each distance award may be claimed only once by each archer.
- It is the responsibility of the archer concerned to make a claim for a ribbon.
- To claim a ribbon, the archer must not score their own sheet and must obtain the signature of the Field Captain / Coach on the score sheet, which must indicate the award claimed (e.g. "BLUE 252"). The claim should be brought to the attention of the Records Officer.
- Please ensure the archer's name is present on result sheets used for ribbon claims.
- Claims for away shoots where the score sheet is not available will be permitted, provided an official from the shoot concerned is prepared to verify the result (i.e. signed and dated own score sheet, or some other signed and dated document).
- The tables below show the scores that have to be reached using either recurve, compound, longbow or barebow at a given distance. The colour indicates the ribbon colour.
