The Field Round includes:

28 2D Paper Field Targets

4 Arrows per Target

Maximum Score: 560

The Field Round is a field archery tournament of 28 2D paper targets, firing 4 arrows per target from WHITE colored stakes for a total of 112 arrows. There are 3 scoring zones on each target. Each arrow scores either 3 points fro the black outer ring, 4 for the white middle ring or 5 for the black bull’s eye. There is a center ‘X’ ring to the inner 5 point zone.

 A total of 20 points is possible per target, a perfect round is 560.

Field Rounds are at ‘even’ (5 yd) distances up to 80 yards, with the shortest distances measured in feet. 

Targets may have different shooting positions:

1)  All four arrows shot from one marked stake.

2)  “Fan”:  Each arrow is 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 Youth, under 15, the longest distance is 50 yards.

For Cubs, under 12, the longest distance is 30 yards.

Results from August 3D Shoot have been posted….finally!

My apologies for the delay in posting the results from the August 3D shoot. Please remember that everyone who sets up and takes down targets, runs the registration and keeps track of scores are all volunteers. Occasionally, our work, family, and personal obligations will take precedent over our volunteer duties for the San Diego Archers.  

Also, there was a little bit of grumbling about the long registration line last Sunday. Our 3D shoots have become very popular (yeah!), with over 120 archers registering for the shoot. To speed up the registration, we have a few very kind volunteers who step up and ask to help (instead of grumbling). They will walk the line filling in scorecards and calculating the amount due at the visitors table.  This is a tremendous help and really speeds things up. (NOTE: Scorecards are not valid unless they have the date stamp from Brad.) Many of our usual volunteers were at the Big Bear Shoot last weekend. We finally had ONE person who offered to help (Thank you, Will!) If you see something that should be done better or faster, please don’t hesitate to step up and offer to help. Thank you. PK
