archery rules

Archery involves shooting arrows at a target from a set distance. Competitors typically aim at a circular target divided into scoring zones, with higher points for hitting closer to the center. Shots are taken from designated shooting lines, and strict safety rules are followed, such as handling bows carefully and waiting for signals to shoot. Scores are tallied based on where the arrows land, with matches often decided by the highest total or number of hits in specific zones. Different styles (target, field, bowhunting) have specific rules, but overall, precision, focus, and safety are central to the sport.
