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.
