KeyEvents

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.  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, 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.

Volunteer Work Parties Are Back! 

The San Diego Archers are bringing back regularly scheduled Volunteer Work Parties to help maintain both of our great archery ranges in Balboa Park.  You do not need to be a member to participate in these events, just have the desire to give something back to the ranges that allow us all to enjoy the sport of archery in such a beautiful setting.  

The goal is to have a different Volunteer host a Volunteer Work Party each month.  If there is an area that you would like to focus on, please let us know.  We will round up volunteers to help you with whatever area you want to work on (e.g., rebuilding stairs on hillsides, or shooting platforms and footbridge near Target 23, benches and tables at Morley Field, etc.). 

Volunteer Work Parties will be held on the 2^nd weekend of each month: on Saturdays in the odd months, on Sundays in the even months.  Dates will soon be posted on the SDA calendar on the website and announcements emailed to all members, and to non-members who have requested to be on our mailing list.  

Next Volunteer Work Party:  Saturday, March 14, 2015 

If you want to join us, just show up at the scheduled time and place.  If you need more information, please contact us at: sandiegoarchers@yahoo.com

Thank you,

San Diego Archers
