Rounds

This is an unconventional ‘fun’ round that follows no consistent fixed structure.
Archers will shoot 2 rounds of 5 ends per round.
There will be 2 details per end followed by collection of arrows. Arrows will be shot in ends of a maximum 3 arrows, unless stipulated on each boss instructions. Each detail will have 90 seconds to shoot their end. Targets don’t need to be marked. Bouncers should be confirmed by other archers on your target before calling the judge. There will be no sighters.
Once all archers have shot their ends on the boss and arrows have been collected, archers will rotate on to the next boss in sequence.

All bow styles will shoot on Tenzone bosses
