The little circle inside the inner gold is scored as an X rather than a 10. It still scores 10 but the number of Xs may be used in a tournament if two people have the same score.

Indoors there are a few exceptions, but most rounds score 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

It is different indoors for compound archers, but since you shoot recurve, I'll not complicate things.

Thanks for explaining that Geoff. I did read about the 10,9,8,7.... and the 9,7,5... and thats what was confusing me. So, thats what the X means, I just thought X meant gold, not inner gold, thats for pointing that out!

You see, you learn something new every day!
