The WA version of clout is used worldwide. The information in this section is drawn from Book 5 Miscellaneous of the WA Constitution and Rules. (WA 2008)
Flags are set at specified distances for combinations of gender and bow type.
The WA rules do not define any separate distances for juniors or for longbows, though tournament organisers will often introduce such additional distances.
Each flag consists of a piece of coloured fabric not exceeding 80 cm high and 30 cm wide on a softwood pole, the flag to be no more than 50 cm from the ground.
Shooting may only be "one way".
