The Target:

A flag (max 80cm x 30cm) is placed on the ground. The scoring area is a 22.5-meter diameter circle around the flag, divided into five concentric rings.

Scoring:

 Zones are scored from the center outward: 5 points (Gold/Flag), 4 (Red), 3 (Blue), 2 (Black), 1 (White). Line-cutter arrows score higher value.

Arrow Values:

The score is determined by where the arrow enters the ground. If an arrow is lying flat, its point determines the score.

Rules and Regulations:

1. The Clout target shall be circular, 22.5m in diameter and shall be divided into five concentric scoring zones arranged from the centre outwards and each measuring 1.5m in width. Each dividing line shall be entirely within the higher scoring zone.

2. The Clout target may be marked out on the ground, or the scoring lines may be determined by non-stretch cord marked off at the dividing lines.

3. The Director of Shooting shall appoint one person to hold the Clout cord, and one person for each scoring ring to collect the arrows in the ring. After all arrows are collected, they are sorted according to the athlete's individual marking, and the arrows shall remain in that scoring ring until scored.

4. The centre of the Clout target shall be marked by a brightly coloured distinctive flag: the Clout.

5. The Clout Round is a long-distance shoot at a target laid out on the ground with a central flagpole called “The Clout”. “Clout is the angle-Saxon word for cloth.”
