Welcome San Diego Archers

The SDA is a very active archery club, sponsoring two shoots a month and three major tournaments a year. A 28 target 3D Round on the first Sunday of the month and a Club Championship Qualifying Round (28 target Animal, Field or Hunter Round) on the third Sunday of each month.

Each June SDA hosts the “King Arthur’s Day Tournament”, a 40 target novelty shoot with a medieval theme.

Would you like to attend SDA tournaments for free?
SDA holds a work party at our ranges each month. Contact us to see whether there are work party positions available before the next tournament and attend your next SDA shoot for free!

The Animal Round includes:

28 2D Paper Field Targets
1-3 Arrows per Target
The best score per target is 21
Maximum Score: 588

Animal Rounds use 2D paper targets with ‘uneven’ distances between 5 and 60 yards, reminiscent of the Hunter Round. The rules and scoring are significantly different.

The archer begins at the first YELLOW shooting stake of the target and shoots the first arrow. If it hits, you do not have to shoot again. If it misses, you advance to the second shooting stake and shoot the second arrow, then to the third shooting stake for a third shot if needed.

There are 3 scoring zones: Bonus Kill Zone, Kill Zone, and Hit Zone.
Scoring is based on where you hit and with which arrow.

The first arrow shot is scored 21, 20 or 18. The second arrow is scored 17, 16 or 14, and the third arrow is scored 13, 12, or 10. A scoring chart is included on your scorecard.

Pro tip!
Mark your arrows with a number. This way, when you go to score your arrows, you’ll know which hit first, second, or third.

For Younger Shooters

For Youths (12-14 years old), the longest distance is 40 yards. For Cubs (11 years old & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.

3D Round – April 7, 2024

3D Round will be hosted by the San Diego Archers on Sunday, April 7, 2024, at the Rube Powell Balboa Park Archery Range (☀️ AccuWeather)

• Tournament preregistration and pay online today

On the day of the shoot, visit the visitor’s table between 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Sign the paper waiver form for each participant and pick up a blank scorecard before entering the practice area.

Speed up registration by printing and signing your waiver form now?

Range briefing will begin after 8:30 a.m., and shooting will commence after 9 a.m.

Volunteers are needed at 6:15 a.m. to help set up and take down targets! Volunteers receive a $15 club credit card to shoot for FREE!

This 3D Round includes:

28 3D targets
1 Arrow per Target
Scoring is 10-8-5
Maximum Score is 280
Rangefinders are allowed

We utilize a diverse selection of high-quality Rhinehart and Mackenzie targets arranged in various hunting scenarios. Only one arrow per target is permitted unless mulligans are purchased. Participants may buy up to two mulligans and two doe tags for $1 each, either online or at the visitors’ table. The scoring system is 10-8-5 (see picture above).

An arrow that strikes a branch or other object and misses the target is a miss.

About Mulligans and Doe Tags

If you missed or scored low with the first arrow, a mulligan allows you to take another shot at a target. Your score is determined by that second (mulligan) arrow, even if it’s worse than the first.

There are a maximum of two buck-doe spreads in the field where the doe is placed between the buck and the archer. If you hit the doe and do not have a doe tag, you score negative five (-5) points on that target. With a doe tag, you score zero (0) points.

If you hit the buck or miss completely, you may use a mulligan, and your score is determined by that second arrow.

Traditional Stakes for Recurve Archers and Longbows

Longer-range targets will have a traditional stake (orange cone) set per NFAA rules. Orange cones are for Youth and Traditional archers with a maximum distance of 40 yards.
