Unmarked 3D Round – 3 June 2017

Unmarked 3D Round
The San Diego Archers
Will host the 3D Round
This Saturday, June 3, 2017
At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

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

Special Event Notes: 
There will be a short meeting following the shoot to discuss preparations for the King Arthur Tournament on Sunday, June 18. Please join us and sign up to volunteer on the big day!! Every little bit of help is GREATLY appreciated!

The 3D Round includes:
28 2D Paper Hunter Targets
1 Arrows per Target
Maximum Score: 280
No Rangefinders 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!

3D Round Turkey

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 Youths:

  • 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.

This Saturday, May 27, 8am-noon

Our 50th Annual King Arthur Tournament is rapidly approaching on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18. There is still work to be done to prepare our tournament grounds and targets for the visiting opponents!  Our legendary King Arthur Targets must be gilded, a.k.a. hand-painted, by any and all talented (and some not-so-talented) volunteers.  If you have any special talents that might be helpful in our preparations, please let us know.  

In addition to gilding targets, new target bales will be made and used to replace worn out bales. Opportunities abound for the energetic (bale-making/replacement) and leisure (target gilding) volunteers!

Even if you just have an hour or so to spare, please come join us Saturday morning!  Most of the work should be done by noon or so.

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. 

Anyone who volunteers at a work party shoots for free in their next tournament! Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.
