Clout Archery

Archers shoot from a set distance, at a zoned scoring area marked on the ground. In days gone by this would have been a large cloth or “clout”, in old English, laid on the ground. A lot of clubs use this as a break from target shooting and is a popular form of competition. 

Scoring
Scores shall be determined according to the distance of arrows at point of entry in
ground from centre of flag stick as follows:
Within a radius of 18 inches – 5 points
3 feet – 4 points
6 feet – 3 points
9 feet – 2 points
12 feet – 1 point
