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 for a total of 112 arrows. There are 3 scoring zones on each target. Each arrow scores either 3 points for the black outer ring, 4 for the white middle ring or 5 for the black bulls 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 shot from a different marked stake, spread in a fan pattern,

                      each stake at 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.

Shoot begins at 9am

The Unmarked 3D Round includes:

28 3D targets

1 arrow per target

NO RANGE FINDERS ALLOWED! 

A wide range of high quality Rhinehart and Mackenzie targets are set at unmarked yardage in various hunting scenarios.  Only one arrow per target is allowed unless mulligans have been purchased.  A maximum of two mulligans and one doe tag may be purchased at registration for an additional $1 each. 

Scoring: 10-8-5

Maximum Score: 280 

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. 

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.
