Range Layout of Archery

* The targets shall be set up at one end of the ground. They shall be inclined at an angle of about 15 degrees, with the pinholes 130cm(4ft.3in )+ 5cm above the ground. The height of the pinhole on a line of faces shall at all times look straight.
* Minimum spacing of target centers shall be:
Archers shooting singly or in pairs 2.5m (8ft.2in)
Archers shooting in threes 3.66m (12ft)
* Each target boss shall be securely anchored so that it cannot blow of its stand. Likewise stands shall be anchored to prevent them from blowing over.
* All targets shall be clearly numbered.
* The shooting line (over which the archers shall take up their shooting positions) shall be measured from points as follows:
Metric - Up to and including 50m- + 15cm
- above 50m - +30cm
Imperial - Up to and including 50yd - +6in
- above 50yd - +12in
* Shooting marks, consisting of discs or other flat markers, shall be positioned opposite the targets at the appropriate distances. The shooting marks are to bear the number of the target opposite which they are placed.
* Lines at right angles to the shooting line and extending from the shooting line to the target line making lanes containing one, or three bosses may be laid down.
* A waiting line shall be placed at least five yards behind the shooting line.
* On grounds where the public have right of access on area shall be roped off to indicate that no one can pass behind the target within 50 yards of them.
