King Authur 2014-Thank You

2014 King Arthur Tournament

THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered and participated in this year’s King Arthur Tournament on Father’s Day, June 15^th. It was another successful event, with over 200 archers battling for the top score. In the end, there were tie scores for both 1^st and 2^nd place.

Out of 924 total points, shooting AMFS, Buddy Lucas & Ken Wagner each scored 910 points for 1^st place. Scott Jones & Jason Null tied for 2^nd place with 909 points each. Sylvester Cooper came in 3^rd with 905. HOWEVER, Don Snipes, shooting SMFS, scored 908! Impressive shooting all around, dropping only 14-16 points across 40 targets and 80 arrows. The two steel target butts looked like porcupines by the end of the day with all the shattered arrows. Bow shop owners and arrow makers are grinning widely at this news.

Other very notable scores from the under 18 contenders: High score in the Cub Class goes to Kristin Alvarez (CFSRC), who scored 815. In the Youth Class, Thomas Hayes (YMBHFS) scored 822. And in the Young Adult Class, Humberto Arellano (YAMFSL R/L) scored an impressive 842!

From the slightly over 18 contenders: The highest Master Senior score goes to Salvador Morya (MSMFS) with 819. Big Rob must have slept in this year, the highest Trad score came from Jim Valazquez (SMTRAD) with 627. Great shooting, everyone!

The San Diego Archers would also like to thank our Sponsors and everyone who contributed donations for the tournament. Your support every year is greatly appreciated!

Next year, the 2015 King Arthur Tournament will coincide with the Centennial Celebration of Balboa Park. We are looking forward to an even bigger and better event then!

See you next year!

Animal Round

This Saturday

The San Diego Archers

will host the Animal Round

this Saturday, April 19, 2014.

**THE ALCAZAR PARKING LOT**

**IS CLOSED!!**

Please arrive early to allow for the longer walk from parking areas.

(See details below)

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.
