How to play Bullseye Archery
You have ten arrows. The target starts at 15 metres and moves back to 50 metres as the round goes on. Each arrow scores between 1 and 10 points depending on which ring it hits, so the maximum score is 100.
Press and hold to draw the bow. The view zooms in and a sight appears. Drag to move your aim, then let go to shoot. Your sight already allows for the arrow dropping over distance, so at any range, aim straight at the gold. The wind is the part you have to judge yourself.
Reading the wind
The wind box at the top shows the wind's direction and speed, and the flag beside the range shows it too. Wind pushes the arrow sideways in flight, and the effect grows with distance. A useful starting point: aim off into the wind by about the width of one ring per metre per second of wind at 30 metres, and a bit more at 40 and 50.

Tips
- Shoot within about three seconds of drawing. After that your arms tire and the sight starts to shake.
- Watch the sight drift and release as it passes through your aiming point.
- Keep a note of where your last arrow landed and correct from there.
- Strong wind at 50 metres needs a big correction. Trust it.
