For example, a 27 kg (60 lb) bow with 80% let-off only requires 53 N (12 lb f) to hold at full draw. Up to 99% let-off is possible.

Outdoor distances range from 40 yards (37 m) to 100 yards (91 m), for seniors, and 10 yards (9.1 m) to 80 yards (73 m) for juniors. Competition is divided into ends. An archer shoots either 3 arrows per end (indoors) or 6 arrows per end (outdoors). After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows.
