Peterk,
For the blue and white NFAA 5 spot round a perfect score is a 60X 300. Each arrow is worth a maximum of 5 points and 5 arrows are shot per end, 12 ends total. The X is a smaller circle within the 5 ring that is used to break ties. Most tourneys with better shooters, the majority of people shoot a 300 and then their X count is used to determine their place.
The X ring on the 5 spot is the same size as a 10 ring on the vegas target (which has an even smaller x ring slightly larger than a dime). The Vegas target is a more challenging face that further rewards shooters for accuracy with its smaller X ring. When you see 20 something "X's"/ 300 game, they are generally talking about a vegas round.
Good shooting!

Within each 10 ring (Vegas) or 5 ring (NFAA) there is a smaller circle with and X in it. That is what they are talking about. When you score the target it counts as 10 but with a bullseye. So out of fire's 10's he shot (300 is a perfect score) 498 of them were X's or bullseyepeterk said:

I don't know all the technical terms here. But the way the targets are set up there is a white circle that represents 5 points. In that white circle there is another circle with a "x" in it and the represents 5 points. So when you shoot it anywhere in the white you get 5 points, but if you shoot it in the white cirlce with the x you get 5 points and you count the x. So you keep track of your total points and total number of x's and the x's is kind of like the tie breaker. So if you have two 300 scores, the one with the most x's is the winner. Ok you indoor guys break it down better than that........I tried......lol.
Congrats...............
I shot my best score this week also.....291-26x.......I m still searching for that elusive 300 that you shot.......I have heard though once you shoot 300 the next time is not as hard mentally cause you have proved to yourself that you can do it.
