paper hole.

of that of the higher value.
c- Archers shall identify their arrows by pointing at the nocks. Neither the arrow
nor the target face shall be touched until the final decision as to the score has
been given and any such interference with the target or arrow shall disqualify
the archer from scoring the higher value.
d- If any doubt or dispute as to arrow value shall arise it shall be decided by the
Target Captain subject to appeal to the Judge, whose decision shall be final.
e- A miss is to be recorded as a letter M.
f- All scores must be recording in either Blue or Black ink - NOT pencil
g- Any alteration to the recorded arrow value must be initialled by the Judge
in red ink prior to the withdrawal of the arrow from the target. No arrows
shall be withdrawn from the target until all the archers’ scores have been
entered on the score sheet. Once arrows have been removed from the
target NO alterations can be made to arrow values on the score sheet
