Practice

There will be one practice round at 10 meters and one at 15 meters, prior to shooting for score at each

​

Scoring

• Archers will shoot 3 ends of 5 arrows from 10 meters and 3 ends of 5 arrows at 15 meters for a total of 30 arrows, 10 ring scoring, with a total of 300 points possible.

• Scorers will enter the value of each arrow in descending order on scorecards as called out by the competitor to whom the arrow belongs.

• Scoring should be scored by one other competitor or the archery instructor.

• Other competitors on the same target will check the value of each arrow called out, and in case of disagreement, they will call the instructor or judge.

• An arrow will be scored according to the position of the shaft on the target face. If the shaft touches two colors or touches any dividing line between two scoring zones, the arrow will score the higher value of the two zones involved.

• Neither arrow nor the target face should be touched until all the arrows on that target face have been recorded.
