T.O.U.C.A.N. Badges

Last updated at 4:54 p.m. on the 26th November 2025

The T.O.U.C.A.N. League has a number of award badges that archers can claim at a T.O.U.C.A.N. or BUCS-run shoot. These badges cost £2 each, and you can back-claim them (claim a higher-score badge first and then claim a lower-score badge). To claim them, find the League Organiser or their delegate at your shoot and ask them about claiming one!

The information about which rounds you may claim a badge for (and the scores for each badge) can be found below.

For the WA720 round, the score is for the relevant distance and face size (example: compound scores are for 80cm reduced face at 50m). Novice recurve and longbow can claim for 60m.
