Field

In the field (veld) version of Klootschieten, it is the intention, alone or in a team, to reach a particular patch of grass and/or sand in as few throws as possible (similar in this respect to golf.

In the street (straat) version of Klootschieten, the rules are approximately the same as in the field, only the course (being a street) and the ball (being heavier) are different. An important consideration is to keep the ball in the very center of the street, or it can very easily end up in the ditch or gutter, etc. , which would obviously reduce the distance of ones "shoot".

Setting

The goal in the standing or setting (zetten) style is to see how far the ball can travel in the air. Thus the measure of the throw ends at the point where the ball hits the ground (in contrast to the field and street variants).
