Archery target plotting sheet

A plotting sheet is not a scorecard. You do not write 9-8-7 in a row; you put a dot where the arrow landed so you can see a high-left cluster, a slow drift right, or a first-arrow flyer. Coaches use these on the line. Archers use them in a notebook after a blank session. This generator draws a coloured target face in each end cell, with write-in boxes for each arrow and an optional end-total box.

Face size is the first choice. 122 cm is the outdoor face for WA 720 long distances, WA 1440 90 and 70 metres, and a lot of field practice. 80 cm is the short-distance 1440 face and the usual compound 50 m ranking face. 60 cm is what Portsmouth and many club indoor nights hang. 40 cm is WA 18 m indoor, often as a triple, and some Portsmouth setups. The caption under the header spells that out so you do not plot a 70-metre group on a 40 cm diagram by habit.

Ends run from 1 to 9. One end gives you a large face for a single group. Six ends fill a 3×2 grid, which matches a 720 half or a long indoor night. Nine ends use a 3×3 grid. The layout is automatic; you do not pick rows and columns. Arrows per end default to 6 and can drop to 3 for indoor. Hide the end-total box if you only care about the picture. Hide header fields if you are printing a stack of blanks for a course.

Print A4 or Letter. The faces are vector, so they stay circular on a decent printer. Use a fine pen. Mark X’s as X if you want, or use dots in ring colours. After the session, look for lean (a group centred left or right of gold), up-down drift across ends, and the first arrow of each end sitting apart from the rest. That is the conversation a plotting sheet is for. If you would rather log arrows digitally, the footer QR still points at ScoreMyArrow.
