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.
