How far away are the barrels suppose to be?

I know this probably sounds dumb, but how far away are the barrels suppose to be. And the poles too?
Thanks

On a standard WPRA barrel pattern, the distance from the score line to the first and second barrels is 60 feet, the distance between the 1st and 2nd barrels is 90 feet and the distance from the 1st and 2nd barrels to the 3rd barrel is 105 feet. That is a rather large pattern and to decrease the size of it, you would need to subtract increments of 5-10 feet from each measurement. I’m not a pole bender, but I do know that the distance between the poles is 21 feet.
