I shot with Roy and Kathy Evans of Brigham City, UT the first time and since I didn't have a scoring system for me I will say I had some close groupings and a few flyers. I did however hit the nock of one arrow so I had a near Robin Hood.

My new scoring system is as follows: I am using target loaned to me by Roy and Kathy. It is about 3 feet square and has a hoaky deer on one side and five bulls-eyes on the other side arranged like the spots a dice. For the time being I am shooting at the middle bulls-eye from 20 yards. The bulls-eye (white) is about 4" in diameter with a 1" black ring on the outside. So here is the system, I merely record four categories: Bulls-eyes or Whites (W), Black Ring (B), Those within 1" of Black Ring (I) and anything else is a Flyer (F). So for the:
