Outdoor Target Event
Competitive outdoor events are divided into
bow, gender
and age classes. Each class must shoot a specific number of arrows at
specific distances (called a "
round").
After six arrows are shot, the "end" is completed and
archers score their arrows.
Each arrow is assigned a score according to where it lands
on the target (see
How to score, a
PDF file).
Normally two rounds must be completed in the competition
and the cumulative total of each archer within a class is ranked in
order—with the archer with the highest score declared the
winner within the class.
