My plan for this was to take a nail and tie a six inch string to it.<br>
That way I could push the nail into the center, and any arrow it<br>
touches is good.<br>

That works fine. One point about the shoot though is that an archer<br>
does not have to group their arrows at the center of the target. Hence<br>
the name Easy Grouping. The value here is that if an archer can group<br>
their shafts then all they need to do for higher scores is change their<br>
aiming point.<br>
