The National is a short imperial round: 4 dozen arrows at 60 yards and 2 dozen at 50 on a 122 cm face with five zone scoring, for a maximum of 648. Its longer and shorter versions keep the same arrow count, so it suits evening and half day tournaments.

Target face and scoring: 122 cm face, five zone imperial scoring
Arrows: 72 arrows in ends of 6
