Range Preparation for the Sir Gordon Traditional Shoot!
This Saturday, July 22, 7am to ~noon
Rube Powell Archery Range

    Please come help us prepare for our Annual Sir Gordon Traditional Shoot (on July 30) by cleaning up the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range. Our goal for this work party will be general clean up (clearing weeds & leaves), checking target bales, yardage markers, etc. If you have noticed anything in particular that needs attention, please let us know!
    Show up anytime after 7am! Bring gloves, water and a hat (long sleeves and pants are always a good idea). If you have a weed whacker or rake, bring them along. We have some rakes and shovels, too. Stay as long as you want – we plan to work until around noon.
    Allison is hosting this event: she’s bringing COFFEE, BAGELS, DONUTS, and other goodies! Please RSVP by e-mailing her at allison.shearer@gmail.com so she can have enough snacks for everyone.
    Volunteers get to shoot their next tournament for free!      

The San Diego Archers truly appreciate your help!

Both archery ranges in Balboa Park are maintained by volunteer efforts alone. If each member (non-members welcome, too!) contributed just one hour of volunteer work on either range, we would have two of the nicest looking ranges in California.

No Rangefinders allowed

The Hunter Round is a field archery tournament 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.

Targets may have different shooting positions:

1) All four arrows shot from one marked stake.

2) “Fan”: Each arrow shot from a different marked stake spread in a fan pattern, with each stake at the same distance to the target.

3) “Walk Up”: Each arrow shot from a different marked stake at decreasing distances to the target. For example, one arrow each at 45, 40, 35, 30 yards, or two arrows each at 45 and 40 yards.

• Under 15, the longest distance is 50 yards.
• For Cubs, under 12, the longest distance is 30 yards.

Will host the 3D Round
This Sunday, July 2, 2017
At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

Registration opens at 7:30am
Registration Closes at 8:45am
Shoot begins at 9am

The 3D Round includes:
28 3D Animal Targets
1 Arrows per Target
Maximum Score: 280
Rangefinders ARE 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.

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 Young Adults (14-17 yo): The longest distance is 50 yards.
For Youths (12-14 yo): The longest distance is 40 yards.
For Cubs & PeeWee (11 yo & under): The longest distance is 25 yards.
