Kit list

How it's scored
Keeping score
Each arrow scores by the ring it lands in: 11, 10, 5, or 0 for a miss. Twenty arrows, so a perfect score is 220.
The odd yardages don’t line up with a standard sight setting, so you can’t lean on memorised pin gaps. And the harder target arrives just as the shots get longest, so there’s no easing into it.
How to set it up
Three steps, then shoot
Print both targets.
Target 1 is for 15 and 26 yards (about 14 and 24 m), Target 2 for 35 and 42 yards (about 32 and 38 m).
Five arrows at each distance.
Work out from 15 yards to 42, switching to Target 2 when you reach 35. Twenty arrows in all.
Score each arrow.
Log every arrow by the ring it lands in, as you go.
