Clout Archery

Clout is a form of archery in which the archers shoot at a flag (“the Clout”) from a long distance, shooting their arrows up into the air so that they arc down on to the ground as near to the “clout” as possible. There are competitions in clout archery with circular scoring zones around the “clout”. Each arrow scores points depending on which zone it lands in, with the number of points scored increasing the closer the arrows land to the “clout”.
