Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range Work Party 7 & 8 Sep 2019

Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range Work Party

Saturday, Sep 7th, 7:00 a.m. – noon+

and

Sunday, Sep 8th, 7:00 a.m. – noon+

Hello Fellow Archers!!!

If you haven’t checked out the new Morley Field layout, grab your bow, stop by and give the new carpet bales a try!!  Thank you so much to the volunteers who took down old targets and set up the new field in ONE DAY! WOW!

Next is the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range!  This will be more challenging, since targets have to be moved throughout the entire walking course and practice area.  Again, most of our Exclesior (shredded Aspen wood fiber) bales will be replaced with ArroLast Carpet Bales!  This is an enormous project and a great opportunity for new volunteers to lend a hand.  The two work parties this weekend will be held at the Rube Powell Archery Range, starting on Saturday at 7am and Sunday, 7am.

PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE THE RENOVATIONS ARE UNDERWAY!!  We are all volunteers, doing all of this renovation on donated time. Besides this weekend, if a group of two or more enthusiastic volunteers happen to be at the range at the same time, they may close part of the Balboa Range on very short notice to get some work done. Please support anyone working on either archery range…the renovations will be worth it!

The San Diego Archers would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to SDA Member Kim Wood and LA MESA LUMBER. Kim arranged to receive our 50 new carpet bales at La Mesa Lumber. He will bring them from La Mesa Lumber to the Balboa Range, a few at a time, for installation

Thank you also to Mark Omel (and Mark’s better half, Tomi) for getting the (work) parties started.  Thank you to JD and Devorah Basden, Thomas Pham, Valerie Shoemaker, Dennis Stephens, Duane Norman, Patty Koutz, Pietro and Terry Limone, Bill Morgan, James Jackson, Clarissa Bond, Kurt Bourehenne, Russ Harell, Scott Penner, Kevin and Rachel Taylor, Steve Tahmahkera and so many other volunteers. We could not do this without you!

Morley Work Party 31 Aug and 1 Sep 2019

Morley Field Archery Range Work Party

Saturday, Aug 31st, 7:00am – noon

and

Sunday, Sep 1st following the 3D shoot (~noon)

Hello Fellow Archers!!!

Big changes are coming to our Morley Field and Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Ranges. We will be replacing most of our Exclesior (shredded Aspen wood fiber) bales with ArroLast Carpet Bales! This is an enormous project and a great opportunity for new volunteers to lend a hand.

The first two (of many) work parties will be held at the Morley Field Archery Range this weekend, starting on Saturday at 7am and Sunday after the 3D shoot.

PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE THE RENOVATIONS ARE UNDERWAY!! We are all volunteers, doing all of this renovation on donated time. Besides this weekend, if a group of two or more enthusiastic volunteers happen to be at the same range at the same time, they may close half of Morley or a few targets at Balboa on very short notice to get some work done. Please support anyone working on either archery range…the renovations will be worth it!

It will take a work party (or two), to figure out the most efficient way to move and install each carpet bale, what supplies are needed, etc.

The San Diego Archers would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to SDA Member Kim Wood and LA MESA LUMBER. Kim arranged to receive our 50 new carpet bales at La Mesa Lumber. We will bring them from La Mesa Lumber to the ranges, a few at a time, to install them.

Thank you also to Mark Omel (and Mark’s better half, Tomi) for getting this (work) party started. Thank you to JD Basden, Thomas Pham, Dennis Stephens and so many other volunteers. We could not do this without you!

Unmarked 3D Round – 03 Dec 2017

**Last Unmarked 3D Round for the year!**
This Sunday, December 3, 2017, 9am
Registration: 7:30am – 8:45am
Shoot begins at 9am

The 3D Round includes:
28 3D targets
1 arrow per target
NO RANGE FINDERS ALLOWED!!

A wide range of high quality Rhinehart and Mackenzie targets are set in various hunting scenarios. Only one arrow per target is allowed unless mulligans have been purchased. A maximum of two mulligans and one or two doe tags may be purchased at registration for an additional $1 each.
As an unmarked shoot, 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!

Scoring: 10-8-5
Maximum Score: 280
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. If you use a mulligan, your score is determined by that second arrow, even if you score worse than the first arrow. You may use a second mulligan on the same target. Your score is determined by the last arrow shot.
There will be 1 or 2 buck-doe spreads in the field, where the doe placed between the buck and the archer. If you hit the doe and do not have a doe tag, you score -5 on the target. If you have a doe tag, you score zero. You cannot use a mulligan if you hit the doe, whether or not you have a doe tag. If you hit the buck or miss completely, you may use a mulligan and your score is determined from that second arrow.

For 15 years and older, the longest distance is 50 yards.
For Youths (12-14 yo), the longest distance is 40 yards.
For Cubs (11 yo & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.

Entry Fees: SDA Members & Active Duty Military: $10
Non-Members: $15
Kids (14yo & younger): Free
Note: As with all 3D shoots – We will shoot come Rain or Shine.
Please arrive at the Balboa Park Archery Range with plenty of time to register.
