Kit list

  • Twelve small targets: playing cards, sticky notes, bottle caps, whatever you have
  • A bale to arrange them on

How it's scored

Keeping score

One point for each target hit, zero for a miss. A perfect run is twelve out of twelve.

It sounds easy until you’re on target nine with a clean sheet and your hands start shaking. Pressure practice, disguised as a game.


How to set it up

Three steps, then shoot

  1. Set up the clock.

    Arrange twelve small targets on your bale in a circle, like the numbers on a clock face.

  2. Work your way round.

    Start at 1 o’clock with one arrow per position, all the way round to 12.

  3. Keep it honest.

    Pick your own distance, but keep it the same each time so your scores mean something.
