SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT YOUR TARGET CHOICES!
Please choose "fullsize 10 ring target face" or "3-spot 5ring target" at 30 meters. Due to improved quality of some shooters, 9-12 arrows in a single target can be destructive (arrows hitting arrows). FITA now allows individual faces at 30 meters, similar to the three-spot idea from indoors. The multi face will allow each archer at 30 meters to have their own individual target face, but scoring only goes out to the six-ring on individual face targets. In the case of the archer shooting a "5" or lower, no points are awarded when the target is a multiface/three-spot.  Please note that the rings are all the same size on both targets, the three spot just does not have scoring rings from "1" to "5" points.
