Rules:
This shoot is pulled from the old Atlantian Seasonal Challenge. It was a shoot designed to get archers to focus on grouping their arrows.

Please read the SSAC General Rules, as these apply to all SSAC shoots. Below are the additional rules for this specific shoot.

Target:
No target face is required, however you are welcome to put almost anything on the target butt to provide a point of reference, except *NO FITA TARGETS* allowed. So, some stickers or post-it notes, an old SSAC target you have kicking around, anything that does not involve concentric circles. It is suggested that archers attempt to place their group of arrows away from other archers, but this is not required.

Ranges:
For Summer season, 25 yards and 35 yards.

Ends:
For each range there are two ends;
1) Un-timed using 10 arrows,
2) Timed for 45 seconds unlimited arrows.

Scoring:
After each end is shot, the archer will determine which single arrow will define a `center` from which to measure a 3 inch (76mm) radius circle. Any arrow either in or touching the circle gains one point. Any shaft stuck in the frame of the butt or in the ground does not count even if `technically` inside the measured circle (i.e. the `center` of the circle is very low on the butt).

Clarification - the measurement is from the outside of the 'center' arrow. For a precision measure, cut a 3 inch (76mm) segment off a broken arrow, touch one end to the 'center' arrow and slide it around the shaft. Any arrow it runs counts as a point, pull the arrow and continue until you can make a complete circle using the segment. Pull the center arrow (it counts too!) and count the arrows in your hand for the score. Any arrow that does not stop the segment is outside the circle and does not count.
