Depending upon the shoot, you may shoot either one or two arrows per target (scoring the best shot of the latter). Most animal targets have 2 (or 3) scoring rings (circles) etched into them a larger one with 1 or 2 smaller ones inside of it as shown here: For targets with 3 rings, scoring would be as follows: Smallest (inner) ring: 12 points Middle ring: 10 points Larger (outer) ring: 8 points Anywhere else on the body: 5 points Miss the target completely: 0 points Note that we do not usually bother to count the inner (12 point) ring in our shoots, hence the maximum score achievable per target is 10 points. [The inner rings may be used for tie-breaker purposes, on occasion.] In the example above, scoring would be: the arrow with the yellow/white fletching would be 8 points (within outer scoring ring) and the one with the red/white fletching would be scored as 10 points.
