By far one of the most popular archery rounds, indoor target has the potential to attract thousands of archers to a single location (such as the Vegas Shoot each year). The distance is shot at 18 meters \u2014 or 20 yards \u2014 with a 10-ring that is comparable to the size of a penny or a quarter for compound or recurve bows, respectively. Scores are usually very high for indoor target archery, with the coveted perfect 300 out of 300 points for one round as the goal for many archers around the world. One of the rules for indoor target archery is that if an archer\u2019s arrow touches the line of the next-higher scoring ring, they are awarded the higher score. Archers will usually choose to shoot an arrow that has a bigger diameter<\/strong> for its \u201cline cutting\u201d capabilities. Basically, archers can make small mistakes in their shot, but the diameter of the arrow shaft will help to make up for their errors by giving them a higher chance of catching the line.<\/p>\n\n
