Portsmouth Award
This award is designed to help you focus while practicing and to recognise personal development during the indoor season. This award also encourages archers to score a recognised round.
The badges you can claim are 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, 500, 525, 550, 575. We will eventually have badges that go all the way up to 600!
Scores of 415 and 430 will go towards your 400 badge. You will then have to shoot two more scores of 425 or over to receive the 425 badge. No scores will be carried over to the next season, so at the beginning of the next indoor season next October you will have to shoot two more scores 425 or over to gain that badge.
If the first award you achieve is for example 400, then you will have the opportunity to purchase the previous badges if you wish.
Any scores you shoot at competitions will count towards the awards, please put the official results with your name, date and score highlighted in the folder in the container.
