The bull’s-eye of a target is usually 1 inch in diameter, the next circle outside is 2 inches in diameter, the next 4 inches, and the outer circle 5 inches.
Get up a shooting match and keep track of the score made by each.
If the bull’s-eye is cut anywhere by the arrow, the count is 5 points; a cut anywhere inside or touching the 2-inch circle counts 4 points; anywhere inside or touching the next two circles counts 3 and 2 points respectively.
The one who makes the highest score in five shots is the winner.
It is more sanitary if each shooter has his own air gun and arrows.
Experiment 26. Height and distance contest.
Go outside and see which of you can shoot his arrow to the greatest height and to the greatest distance.
Give each contestant five shots.
