Janyn:

 

Here's our thoughts for scoring the SSP targets we are bringing - 

 

Celtic Snake Koosh Ball Target:

Total of four arrows, untimed

5 points if you spear a koosh ball, sending it flying out of the target. 

5 points if you shoot an arrow clean through an empty hole where a previous
archer has already shoot the koosh ball out (if the arrow catches any
cardboard it is a blow-through and can only earn 3, 1 or 0 points)

3 points if your arrow is in the colored circle around the koosh ball. 

2 points if your arrow is anywhere in the snake.

1 points for the background.

 

Balloon Forest Target: 

Up to four arrows, untimed

3 points big balloons 

7 points medium balloons

11 points small balloons

You must shoot between the marked gates. Archer chooses which size ballon to
shoot for and has up to four arrows to pop a ballon for the points. As soon
as the archer has shot one balloon, it's done - only one balloon pop per
archer.

Leftover arrows score one additional point each for up to 3 additional
points.

(So if archer hits a medium balloon on their second arrow, they score 6
points for the balloon plus one point each for the two un-shot arrows for a
total of 8 points.)

If an archer shoots all four arrows and does not hit a balloon they get 1
point for participation, and first dibs at shooting at any leftover balloons
at the end of the day.

Archers may change their minds and shoot for a different size balloon at any
time, but must change to the appropriate marked gate. (note: this last rule
is to avoid having a low angle shot lined up so that the big balloons are in
front of the little ones!)

 

We hope this is all clear. Really good archers/crossbows should be able to
get a maximum of 20 points and 14 points, although the koosh balls are
deceptively hard to get as they are really small. Most good archers will
probably score 11-13 on the koosh ball and maybe 10-11 on the balloons. No
archers will receive a zero on either target, as we hate to see a bunch of
goose-eggs on anybody's scorecard. We hope that's all ok with you!

 

Nuala, Geoffrey, and Breccan

 

Ps. Yes, happy to do posters at Pennsic again!
