**Hunter Round**
This SATURDAY
The San Diego Archers
Will host the Hunter Round
This Saturday November 19, 2016
At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range
Registration opens at 7:30am
Registration Closes at 8:45am
Shoot begins at 9am
The Hunter Round includes:
28 2D Paper Hunter Targets
4 Arrows per Target
Maximum Score: 560
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.
Yardages are marked and are in ‘uneven’ increments (not always in multiples of 5 yards) from the target from 33 feet up to 70 yards.
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.
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.
(e.g., one arrow each at 45, 40, 35, 30 yards, or two arrows each at 45 and 40 yards.)
For Youths, under 15, the longest distance is 50 yards.
For Cubs, under 12, the longest distance is 30 yards.
Entry Fee: $10 for SDA members & Active Duty Military
$15 for non-members.
Please arrive at the Balboa Park Archery Range with plenty of time to register.

VOLUNTEER WORK PARTY AT MORLEY FIELD!
Volunteer Work Party This Saturday, November 12th
at the Morley Field Archery Range, 8am-noon.
Volunteers are needed this Saturday, 8am-noon, for a clean up at the Morley Field Archery Range. We will be taking many of the target butts apart, rotating and re-stacking (and re-banding) many bales, and weed whacking the grounds. Many bales need to be replaced, but this will be done at another work party soon (after a bale-making party!)
If you are able to help for even an hour or two, please send an email to SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com for more details about joining the work party. Wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles if you have them!
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 at their next tournament!
