How to play the games in Joel's Target Shootout.
These rules explain how each game is scored inside Joel's Target Shootout. Always follow the normal safety rules for the equipment and shooting area you are using.
Every player starts with 501 points. Each player takes three shots per turn. The value of the three shots is deducted from their remaining score.
The first player to reach exactly zero wins. The app currently uses a straight-out finish.
If a turn takes the player below zero, that turn is a bust and their score returns to what it was before the turn.
301 uses the same rules as 501 but each player begins on 301 points.
Players get three shots per turn and subtract the turn total from their remaining score.
Reach exactly zero first. Going below zero is a bust.
Cricket uses only 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and Bull. Each target needs three marks to be closed.
A single gives one mark, a double gives two marks and a treble gives three marks.
Once you have closed a target, additional hits on that target score points while at least one opponent still has that target open.
For example, after closing 20, another Treble 20 scores 60 points if an opponent still has 20 open.
Single Bull gives one mark and has a value of 25. Double Bull gives two marks and has a value of 50.
Close all seven targets and have at least as many points as every opponent.
Players work through the targets in numerical order, normally from 1 through 20.
You must hit your current number before progressing to the next one. A miss means you remain on the same target.
The first player to complete the full sequence wins.
Each round has a target number. Players score by hitting that number during their three-shot turn.
A single scores once the number, a double scores twice the number and a treble scores three times the number.
A Shanghai means hitting a single, double and treble of the current target during the same turn.
Shanghai has several recognised variations. The exact Joel's Target Shootout version will be shown when the game becomes playable.
Each player is given or chooses a target number. Players first qualify to become a Killer.
Once qualified, hitting another player's target can remove one of that player's lives.
The final player remaining with lives wins.
Killer has several common rule variations, so the app will show the selected version before a match starts.
Every successful shot adds to your running total. Nothing is deducted.
Each player receives the same number of turns.
The player with the highest total when all rounds are finished wins.

Every shot is added to the player's total. The highest final score wins.
Players begin with 27 points. You take three attempts at Double 1, followed by Double 2, Double 3 and so on.
Successful doubles add their double value to your score. If all three attempts at a double miss, that double's value is deducted.
At Double 5, every successful hit adds 10 points. Missing all three attempts deducts 10 points.
Players receive a fixed amount of time to score as many points or complete as many targets as possible.
When the timer reaches zero, the round ends. The best completed score or challenge result wins.
Every player begins with a set number of lives.
Missing the required target or challenge costs a life. A player with no lives remaining is eliminated.
The last player remaining wins.
The app randomly chooses a target for the player. The player then attempts to hit that target before receiving another random target.
It is designed to practise reacting to unpredictable targets rather than following a fixed sequence.
Practice mode has no required winning score. Record shots freely and concentrate on accuracy, grouping or a particular target.
Future statistics can use practice sessions to show progress over time.
Quick Score is a simple digital score sheet. It lets you record a shooting session without setting up a complete game.
Enter each shot or round and the app keeps a running total.
Players work through a predefined sequence of targets.
Hit the current target to move forward. A miss leaves you on the same target.
The first player to complete the entire target sequence wins.
