Shoot starts : June 1, 2020
Shoot ends : June 30, 2020
The June archery/darts challenge is in acknowledgement to how darts became mainstream. Henry VIII would throw small crossbow bolts at the bung of a wine barrel.
There are 4 rounds, two with the barrel going vertical and two with the barrel going horizontal.
The ends will be one round of 6 shafts/darts untimed with the barrel in each position and one timed round in each position. For times rounds, archers will have 30 seconds and dart throwers will have 10 seconds to fire as many projectiles as they can, one at a time.
Scoring is standard FITA scoring based off of the colors of a normal target – gold=5, red=4, blue=3, black=2, white=1
