Steve B Australian Compound Sighted Never played this game so I shall be buying in some faces and practicing me thinks........ Just one question Liam, I notice on looking closer at the score zones we have a 9 and a 10 and a baby 10 (normally used by compound sighted) as people have reffered to them as , so I am suggesting that for sighted the 10 is the 10 and the baby 10 is the X...do I have this right or have I confused you as well ?

I'd like to add on to what Steve B. is asking about scoring, and request a posting of a run down of the scoring method just to be on the safe side. Is the following correct for the 60 cm target and we will not use the; Imperial rounds under GNAS rules, where they have score values 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. In addition, there is an inner 10 ring, sometimes called the X ring. * * * * * * * * * * * * Standard FITA targets are marked with 10 evenly spaced concentric rings, which generally have score values from 1 through 10 assigned to them, except in outdoor Imperial rounds under GNAS rules, where they have score values 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. In addition, there is an inner 10 ring, sometimes called the X ring. This becomes the 10 ring at indoor compound competitions. Outdoors, it serves as a tiebreaker with the archer scoring the most X's winning. The number of hits may also be taken into account as another tiebreaker. In FITA archery, targets are coloured as follows: 1 ring & 2 ring - white 3 ring & 4 ring - black 5 ring & 6 ring - blue 7 ring & 8 ring - red 9 ring & 10 ring - gold Archers score each end by summing the scores for their arrows. An arrow just touching a scoring boundary line, known as a Line Breaker or Line Cutter, will be awarded the higher score. Values scored by each arrow are recorded on a score sheet and must be written in descending order (e.g. if an archer scores 5, 7, 6, 10, 9, 8, this must be recorded as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5). During and before scoring no one is allowed to touch the arrows. This is so that if there is disputed arrow score then a judge may be called and the judge will make a ruling on how the arrow lies. The archer in charge of scoring on a target at a tournament is known as the ''Target Captain'' and in larger tournaments, they may be assisted by a ''Target Lieutenant''; a Target Captain will make an initial judgement on all disputed arrows. Under FITA rules, in major tournaments, after scoring, each hole is marked before arrows are retrieved. In the event of a "pass through" (the arrow passes straight through the target) or "bouncer" (arrow hits the target and bounces out), points may be awarded to an unmarked hole. Under GNAS rules, and in some smaller tournaments, in the case of a bouncer, the archer must step off the shooting line and hold their bow in the air. A judge will then make a decision as to whether the archer is permitted to shoot a replacement arrow. If an archer accidentally shoots more arrows than they are allowed, the highest scoring arrow is not counted. _________________ Joe(thebow)M Last edited by Joe(thebow)M on Sun Dec 16, 2007 11:13 pm; edited 2 times in total

Youve got it right Steve 10 is a 10 and 'baby' 10 is the X

I'll do a thread on the scoring before we get going
