Touch the canvas and drag your finger BACKWARDS (down-left, away from the target) to pull the bowstring. A dashed yellow aiming line shows the arrow's flight direction — the longer you pull, the more power.

Release to fire. The arrow flies in the direction opposite to your drag (just like a real slingshot or bow). Score by distance to the bullseye: gold center 10, then 8, 6, and 4 toward the outer edge. Missing the target = 0.

You have 10 arrows per game. Each hit makes the target a little smaller and a little faster, so chasing bullseyes gets harder.

Goal: highest score across 10 arrows. Maximum 100.

Tips & strategy

The target slides up and down at a constant speed and flips direction the instant it reaches either end of its track — it never slows down. The ends are still the best place to aim: point just inside one end and the bar crosses your aim line on the way out and again right after it turns, which gives a much longer scoring window than one fast pass through the middle. Each game starts the target at a random height and heading, so watch one full sweep before drawing.

Since this is a slingshot draw, consistency of pull is everything: the arrow flies in a straight line and every accepted shot reaches the target, so pull length only changes how fast it gets there. Use a full-length draw every time so the flight stays short and identical, and adjust only the angle. With only ten arrows and the target shrinking and quickening after every hit, do not rush the later shots — slow your breathing, lead the moving target slightly, and loose on the beat you have learned rather than the instant you feel ready. Center hits score a clean 10 while edges drop to 4, so favour a slow, centered shot over a frantic one near the rim.
