A round is a set number of arrows at each distance on a certain face size with a particular type of scoring.

With some rounds having up to 4 distances it would get really confusing to try and convey all of this information each time you shoot so we give the combination of all this information an “easy to remember” name.

These are often named after the place where they originated for UK rounds or the distance/maximum number of points for World Archery Rounds.

Outdoors

In the UK we have both Imperial Rounds and Metric Rounds outdoors and we use different scoring for each which can be very confusing for new archers, if you are new to archery then try using our Scoresheets with round descriptions which will guide you through which target faces and scoring you need.
