Game: 300

Objective

Beat your opponents by scoring as many points as possible to reach 300 first.

Preparation

  • A group of up to six archers, each with a complete bow setup, who can compete as individuals or the group can be divided into teams.
    • Be aware of the skill level of the archers to prevent arrow damage.
  • If available, use a target face which has a dart board on it. If not available, a standard target face can be used.
    • Depending on the skill of the archers and bow type, separate target faces can be used.

Technique

  • Each team/individual starts with a score of 300.
  • Each team or archer shoot a total of scoring 6 arrows:
    • Individual: 6 arrows
    • Team of two: 3 arrows each
    • Team of 3: 2 arrows each
  • Score the end:
    • deduct the score from the individual/team’s current total
    • When the total goes into a negative, the end is ignored.
    • To win, the score has to be exactly 0.

Notes

  • The idea is to shoot the highest score possible in the beginning, but tactics and accuracy matters.
  • You can mix bow types and genders.

Step it up

  • If you’re using a standard target face, change up the scoring:
    • The X scores double.
    • The line between the 1 and 2 rings scores 20 if touched.
