252 Scheme

The 252 scheme is open to all P.A.C. Members.


The object of the scheme is to encourage Achers to work on their technique and increase confidence in their ability to score consistently at different distances. The distances shot will be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 yards.
Different colour badges will be available for each distance achieved.
252 scores do not count towards handicap or classification.
