Good morning all and a happy Easter Monday to you.

Apologies for the blurry screen.
Here is today's puzzle, please give it a go. It's just a case of using the Guess, check and improve and Make an organised list or table problem solving strategies.

Without any limit on the number of arrows, she can use, how close can an archer get to scoring a total of 100 points?
The point values on the rings are as follows: 40, 39, 24, 23, 17 and 16.

I keep thinking it could be a trick as it seemed too easy.

However, I can't see any extra bits on the chicks or bunnies
