When can you remove your arrows from the target butt?
Correct Answer
B. When all arrows for archers on the target are scored
Explanation
The correct answer is "When all arrows for archers on the target are scored." This means that you can remove your arrows from the target once all the arrows from all the archers who have shot at the target have been scored.
