While scoring the plain Western round, the header reads “End 1 of 16.” The lines under it are Archery GB Imperial and Western · 5-Zone. The header does not repeat the yards. On the other Western chips, the second line uses that chip’s name, then 5-Zone.

What that round is

Sixteen ends of six

Every Western chip is 96 arrows. Eight ends of six is four dozen at one distance, then four dozen at the next. The highest arrow is 9, so the round max is 864. The app scores that one round. It does not add a classification or a record.

Six Western chips

New Western is 100 yards then 80. Long Western is 80 then 60. Western is 60 then 50. Western 50 is 50 then 40. Western 40 is 40 then 30. Western 30 is 30 then 20. Each line uses 8 x 6 at both distances. The app does not check age or record group.

122 cm five-zone face

The centre scores 9. Moving outward, the rings score 7, 5, 3, and 1. The app paints those gold, red, blue, black, and white. An arrow that cuts a line scores the higher ring. Outside the face is a miss. There is no X. Tap each arrow on the face. Scores stay on the device. Distances and 9–1 scoring follow the public Archery GB Rule 308 table the app uses. This page is not a check of the signed-in rule book.

Not included

This is not the Worcester round, which is 60 arrows at 20 yards scoring 5 through 1. National and Warwick use the same face and different lengths. The saved card labels each end with its distance, such as 60yd End 1, then 50yd End 1. The columns are the six scores, the end total, and the running total.
