THE FLYING PIG 3D SHOOT

~Range Finder Allowed~

If you know anything about the local flora and fauna of the Balboa Park area of San Diego you will be aware of not only the existence but also the migratory patterns of the Pink Lesser Spotted Rhinehart Flying Pig.

For those of you who are less familiar with this legendary exodus, all indications point to the migration beginning on Sunday, February 1st, 2015, starting at 9.15am and lasting until around noon. During this time we anticipate that each person will get at least one chance to shoot at this unusual creature during its majestic flight across the Balboa Park skies. (plus 27 other targets)

So, get out your bows and start practicing. Registration for this range finder-approved novelty 3D event starts at 7:30 am.

This is a 1 arrow,  novelty 3D shoot.  You’ll find the Pink Lesser Spotted Rhinehart Flying Pin\g and a wide range of high quality Rhinehart and Mackenzie targets set at unmarked yardages in various hunting scenarios.

Entry fee $15 per person, $10 for members

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.

Shooting starts at 9:00am.

Animal-18 January 2015

**Animal Round** 

The San Diego Archers

Will host the Animal Round

This Sunday, January 18, 2015. 

At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

Registration opens at 7:30 am

Registration closes at 8:45am  

Shoot begins at 9am

The Animal Round includes:

28 2D Paper Animal Targets

1-3 Arrows per Target

Maximum Score: 588

 

Animal Rounds use 2D paper animal targets with ‘uneven’ distances between 5 and 70 yards, reminiscent of the hunter round. The rules and scoring are significantly different.

The archer begins at the first 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 a second arrow, then to the third shooting stake for a third shot, if needed.  NOTE: On some targets, all three shots are from one shooting stake only.

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

The best score per target is 21, the total possible score for the round is 588.  

 

Entry fee $15 per person, $10 for members

Please arrive at the Balboa Park Archery Range with plenty of time to register.

To ensure we start on time, it will be necessary to close registration at 8:45am.

Shooting starts at 9:00am.
