The target is 2 foot by 1 foot and located 8 feet above the ground representing the bull’s eye. 6 arrows may be fired at a distance of 20 yards. Hitting inside the eye is 1 point. Hitting inside the iris is 2 points. Hitting inside the pupil is 3 points. In case of a tie, the tied archers will shoot again in a timed round.
