Bake the Cake

A team game similar to Colours requiring both accuracy and speed.
Equipment:

• 80 cm FITA target faces mounted on a boss and stand. One for each team.
• Each archer has 6 arrows.

Game Details

• As the name suggests, each team must successfully bake a cake, the first to do so being the winner. It is very similar to Colours.
• Archers are divided into teams, each archer having 6 arrows. If the split is uneven, then one team member shoots twice and has 12 arrows.
• Each team must, between them, get an arrow in the target colour in the following order:

      Blue – putting the cake in the oven.

      Red – the cake is being cooked.

      Gold – the cake is golden brown and ready to be taken out of                               the oven.

      White –the cake is coated with icing and is finished.

• One archer from each team shoots three arrows at the blue ring of their target. If they hit it, then they then continue to the next colour and so on.
• As soon as they have shot their 3 arrows, the next member of the team shoots.
• If any team member hits the black, then they have burnt the cake and the team must start again with the blue.
• During the game, as soon as all the archers have shot twice each (6 arrows), then "Fast" is called and the game is paused so the archers can retrieve their arrows from the targets. 
• The game then continues with the next archer to shoot.
• The winning team is the first to get to the white.
• If a team member is unsure where their arrow has landed (e.g. very near the line between two rings), then they can alert the range captain who will shout "Fast". All shooting stops immediately whilst the range captain checks the position of the arrow. If the arrow cuts the line, it is the higher scoring colour that counts.
• The range captain then resumes the game.
