# Rules & Scoring

ProArchers shoots follow World Archery rules and scoring.

## Target scoring

Standard target faces have 10 scoring zones. The inner gold scores 10 (the ‘X’ counts as a 10 and breaks ties), scoring down to 1 in the outer white. Arrows touching a line take the higher value.

## Rounds & distances

Sessions use distance-appropriate rounds for each age and level. Beginners start short and progress to full distances as their shooting develops.

## Competition formats

Club competitions run standard ranking rounds and handicapped shoots so every member can compete on level terms.

## Full rulebook

The complete international rulebook is published by [World Archery](https://www.worldarchery.sport/rulebook).
