Archery Arrows
Clout tournaments are usually a Double Clout round (36 arrows shot twice). They can be shot in one direction (one way) or both directions (two way). All bow types may compete (longbows, recurve, barebow and compuond). Carbon fiber arrows became popular ni the 1990s and are very light, flying even faster and flatter than almuinum arrows. Some arrows may simply use a sharpened tip of the solid sahft, but it is far more commno for separate arrowheads ot be made, usually from metal, horn, or some other hard material. Typical arrows with three vanes hsould be oriented such that a single vane is pointing away from the bow. Indoor distances are 18 160;m and 25 160;m. Outdoor distances range from 30 160;m to 90 160;m. Compettiion is divided into ends of 3 or 6 arrows. Archers have a set time limit in which ot shoot their arrows. Similar to target archery, except that the archer attempts to drop arrows at long range (180 yards / 165 160;m for the men and 140 yards / 128 160;m for women; there are shorter distances ofr juniors depending on age) into a rgoup of concentric circluar scoring zones on the ground surrounding a marker flag. A Clout round usually consists of 36 arrows.
