The American round consists of 90 arrows. The possiblescore is 9 x 90 or 810. So, if one can shoot a score of 600, oneis considered a good archer.

The York round is much tougher. It consists of 72 arrows

at 100 yards, 48 arrows at 80 yards, and 24 arrows at 60 yards—a total of 1 gross arrows. The possible score of the Yorkround is 9 x 144 or 1296. The best scores on this round area little over 800.

The first man that ever cracked the 800 mark was HoraceFord, almost a hundred years ago. His record stood untilrather recently. If a person can reach 500 during the firstseason, he is doing very well.
