FAQs

Can you clarify the target for 2024? Is it a bucket or a dot on the floor?

• A tape mark on the floor with a 1m x 1m tape box around it.  The bucket is only used when we, the Event Leaders, have to move the target frequently. So in years where each team gets to pick their distance, or for the bonus shot where the bucket is not in the firing area all the time.
• This year for both B and C there are only static targets we set, so no bucket for the main targets but yes bucket for the bonus shot.
