Yes, targets are 2 meters wide and 2.67 meters high; they should be tilted back 15 degrees.  Here is one my son and I did about a decade ago (and it's still standing): http://www.koreanarchery.org/index.php? … ;Itemid=79

Yes, there are rules regarding the designs on the face.  The red dot is 1 meter in diameter; the black square the dot sits in is width: 140cm (20cm between edge of dot and edge of square; length: 145.45cm (22.725cm between edge of dot and edge of square). 30.3cm between edge of square and edge of target on all sides.  Bar at top is 30.3cm (L) x 140cm (W).  The top bar is usually black in color, except when the club produced a general; at that time, the bar will be red.
