Improving your archery is one of the great satisfactions of the sport. But how do you know if you are improving? Shooting a specific number of arrows, at a specific distance and at a specific type and size of target and keeping score is called an archery “round,” and it is the most objective way to keep track of how you are doing. We have developed a Achievement Scoring system to help you compare your scores from previous sessions, to other archers, and to a series of benchmarks. The following scores are based on 6 ends with 6 arrows each round for a total of 36 arrows and a maximum score of 360.
