Clout Rounds (5 zone scoring – 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Clout Archery is a traditional archery event, having its roots back to medieval times when archers would lob their arrows onto advancing armies. Clout archery is shot over long ranges with distances up to 185 metres, depending upon the equipment used. A flag is placed in the ground a certain distance from the shooting line. Different flags may be placed for different genders, age groups and bow types. The scoring zone consists of five concentric circles on the ground around the flag. These may be actual markings on the ground or may be measured after an end is shot, using a marked rope or tape attached to the base of the flag.
Arrows are shot towards the flag. The arrows landing in the scoring zone score points depending on which ring they land in, with the rings nearest the flag scoring higher than those further from the flag.

Field Archery
Field archery is the format of modern archery that takes place on a multi-target course (often compared to a golf course) set out over all kinds of terrain including fields, woods and forests. It involves shooting at targets of varying distance, both marked (known) and unmarked (unknown) atdistances from 5-60 meters. It involves 24 individual targets on each day of competition with 3 arrows shot at each target. As a result the terrain will differ target by target and requires the archer to adapt their body position to different angles and slopes to shoot each target. It can require the archer to shoot uphill and downhill, across slopes and varying terrain and also through different light conditions and wind conditions.
A field archer is required to judge the distance to the target and learn to adjust body position to maintain the basic fundamentals of their shot on the varying terrain.
Field archery also requires an archer to consider how an arrow may react to shooting up and downhill and compensate accordingly. It is shot in groups with 3 – 4 archers drawn to shoot together for the day around the course.
