12.Shoot and score on any nationally recognized round.
a. Scoring —Discovery Rangers The NFAA required round for boys in this age level is at a distance of 10 yards with a 35 cm target. A boy would have 8 units of 4 arrows each in a round. This would give the boy 32 shots at this distance to score on a 35 cm target. The target should be the NFF-35.
The center black area is scored as 5. The middle white ring is scored as 4 and the outer black ring is scored as 3. Any arrow shot into any of the score zones from the proper distance of 10 yards is considered a score and fulfills the scoring part of this merit. This does not need to be completed in a NFAA tournament.

Always use equipment that is most closely matched to the archer, i.e. Bow size, Draw weight, Draw Length, Arrow length, etc.
Always match the spine of the arrows to the cast of the bow, not the draw weight. Never shoot with underspined arrows.
Always string your bow clear of others, whether you are using the step-through method or a bowstringer. The same is true for unstringing the bow.
Always make sure the string loops are fully seated into the string nocks when stringing the bow and before drawing the bow.
Always inspect all of your equipment before shooting, and never shoot with damaged equipment.
Never draw a bow and release the string without an arrow. This is called dry firing and can damage the bow and injure you.
