  • Archers shooting from the same colour peg in a group are to format a shoot rotation order allowing them to take turns in shooting first and last. The order is to be followed for the days shooting. The easiest way to decide this is to turn the scorecards over face down with no names showing and shuffle. Pull one card out at a time to form the shooting order for the day. Failing to do so will result in a loss of points or disqualification.
  • Groups with archer shooting from different pegs will rotate shoot order where possible with no archer to advance beyond their peg before shooting.
