How to Score the Target in Archery

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Charlie Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village to talk about beginning archery. Now we're going to go over your target. Targets can vary from different types of shapes. We're going to go over how it scores. There's very many different types of score. It just depending on the league that you join. Now this is one of the target that we use in the league. This is a beaver. They come in many type of animals. They come in either raccoon, deer, antelope, elk, havalina, Russian boar. Any type of animal that you can hunt, they will have the size. The smaller they are, the closer they will be to you. The bigger they are the farther they'll be to you. Now let me explain you the score system. You notice there's a small line here and there's another line outside that line. Then you have the body. Most of time, this target will be clicked on into a four by four or a three by three board that will protect from the arrow if you miss the target. Now, the middle circle is a five. The outside the five is three and outside that is a one. If you miss a target, it's a zero. In our league, if we hit the line, they consider it out. In some league, if the line is touched, they consider it in. The target can vary in many position. It can come straight, it can come in an angle, or it can come facing towards you. The target that's close, it's not necessarily you will shoot at twenty, sometime you will shoot it at thirty yard, just depending on how your bow is set up. When the target's far, it's harder to shoot so definitely join your league and practice and learn the distance. Pacing the distance, shooting the bow is easy, it's placing the arrow at a certain distance, and you have to take a guess. So know your distance."
