Archery

For the grown-up beside a child who loves archery.

The child's own door is Archery on Spark & Anvil.

There is no Whetstone tool or course for archery yet, so this page is the sideline card and your child's ladder.

The sideline card

Three numbers to notice

  1. Ten rings on the target: 10 for the gold centre, down to 1 for the outer white.
  2. Olympic recurve archers shoot from 70 metres at a target face 122 cm across.
  3. An arrow touching a line scores the higher ring.

On the way home, ask: “What changed between your first arrow and your last?”

Ask because you are curious, and let any answer stand. Print this page for a half-page card.

Numbers checked against: World Archery Rulebook, Book 2 (distances and target faces); World Archery Rulebook, Book 3 (scoring)
