At a glance
The challenge in four numbers
What you need
Kit list
- An empty standard 12 oz (330 ml) can
- A piece of string
- A full-size backstop behind it
How it's scored
Keeping score
One point for every arrow that hits the can, out of six.
The can shows every hit, and its round edges and the swing punish any arrow that drifts off centre.
How to set it up
Three steps, then shoot
Hang the can.
Tie the string to the can’s pull tab and hang it in front of your target.
Shoot six arrows.
From 20 yards (about 18 m), six arrows at the can.
Count the hits.
Every arrow that hits the can counts. The challenge in the app lets you have more than one go.
