[Archers] H-O-R-S-E

[Steve Lackey]

Sorry if I sound dense here, but the way I read the scoring on the default
challenge, the lowest score is better? This is kind of new to me, so I want
to make sure I'm not screwing up my expectations =)

If I hit my mark with the first 2 arrows each time in the first 3 rounds,
that would be 6 (H,O,R)?

Then say in the timed round, I double shot the first set arrows, and the
next two singly for the back to back in 12 seconds, that would add 1(S), for
7 total?

Then 4 for the last back to back round (assuming I hit my mark with the
first four arrows)(E), for a total of 11 being my best possible score
(assuming I hit with the first 4 arrows in the timed shoot between 10 and 19
seconds)?

Since I am currently ranked as an Archer, I would have all but the very
center ring within the target area to shoot at?
