Let’s add a metal Black 3 Ring, and then a metal Black 4 Ring, then the Blue 5 Ring…..
There’s no denying the clink of arrow on metal

Hit the metal and you’re out

Get the idea

When the last ring added is the Gold 9 Ring and the hole is a mere 60mm across
The pressure builds
The shooting line goes quiet
Last wo(man) standing wins the prizemoney!
