Animal
The Animal Round is a 28 target field archery round shooting at paper targets of animal images from YELLOW-colored stakes. The distance is marked, usually at odd yardages between 5 and 60 yards.
The scoring is based on your 1st successful hit out of 3 arrows.
There are 3 scoring zones: Bonus Kill Zone, Kill Zone, Hit Zone.
You only need to shoot your 2nd and 3rd arrows if you have not scored with the previous arrow.
Scoring works like this:
Bonus Kill Zone | Kill Zone | Hit Zone | |
Arrow 1 | 21 | 20 | 18 |
Arrow 2 | 17 | 16 | 14 |
Arrow 3 | 13 | 12 | 0 |
Entry Fee: $10 for SDA members & Active Duty Military, $15 for non-members.
Hunter
The Hunter Round is a field archery round of 28 2D paper targets, firing 4 arrows per target from RED-colored stakes.
There are 3 scoring zones on each target. Each arrow scores either 3 points for the outer black ring, 4 for the middle black ring or 5 for the center white ring. 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 560.
Yardages are marked and are in ‘uneven’ increments (not always in multiples of 5 yards) from the target varying between 33 feet up to 70 yards.

Field Round
Entry Fee: $10 for SDA members & Active Duty Military, $15 for non-members.
3D Target
The 3D Rounds are usually a one arrow per target shoot. The targets are dense foam replicas of life-like, three-dimensional animals, set up in various hunting like scenarios.
The shoot will either be unmarked or range finder approved. An unmarked shoot
An “unmarked shoot” means that you have to estimate the distance to the target yourself without the assistance of a range finder. This is a difficult and challenging aspect of these shoots, so don’t let your shooting partners know what you think the distance is! If the shoot is designated as range finder okay, you can use your range finder to determine the distance to the target.
