archery targets
If possible, the butt is north of the
shooter (in the Northern Hemisphere). In a line of butts, the butts are placed
4 to 6 yards apart. A flag hung on a pole extending 2 to 3 feet from the butt,
to indicate wind direction, may be placed on at least every third butt. The
number of the butt may be displayed on a paper 30 centimeters by 30 cm hanging
from the bottom of the butt.
The butt is tilted backward 15 degrees
from the vertical. Dead center is 130 cm above the ground.
Two sizes of face are used: 122
centimeters, and for the 50 meter and 30 meter distances, 80 centimeters. The
target is divided into 10 zones, 6.1 cm wide on the 122 cm targets and 4 cm
wide on the 80 cm targets.
