TheĀ Field RoundĀ is a field archery tournament of 28 2D paper targets, firing 4 arrows per target fromĀ WHITE colored stakes for a total of 112 arrows.Ā There are 3 scoring zones on each target. Each arrow scores either 3 points for the black outer ring, 4 for the white middle ring or 5 the black bull’s eye. There is a center X ring to the inner 5-point zone.
Add up each arrow’s score to give a total score out of a maximum of 560.
Field Rounds are at ‘even’ (5 yds) distances up to 80 yards, with the shortest distances measured in feet.
1) All four arrows shot from one marked stake.
2) “Fan”: Each arrow shot from a different marked stake spread in a fan pattern, with each stake at the same distance to the target.
3) “Walk Up”: Each arrow is shot from a different marked stake at decreasing distances to the target. For example, one arrow each at 45, 40, 35, or 30 yards, or two arrows each at 45 and 40 yards.

This 3D Round includes: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.
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.
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.
For Youths (12-14 years old), the longest distance is 40 yards. For Cubs (11 years old & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.
