Will host the LAST Hunter Round for 2014
This Sunday, November 16, 2014

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. 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.
Entry fee $15 per person, $10 for members.
Please arrive at the Balboa Park Archery Range with plenty of time to register.
To ensure we start on time, it will be necessary to close registration at 8:45am.

Morley Field Archery Range Is Now OPEN!!

SDA Member Chad Borneman sighting in at 50y after working hard all week to help open our Morley Field Archery Range.
The “Range Closed” signs were finally taken down on Saturday, November 1, 2014 .
The new layout has both yard AND meter butts. Starting on the left side of the range (near the parking lot), there are two butts at each distance from 70y, 60y, 50y, 40y, 30y and 20y. A ~10y gap divides the range into two halves. After the gap, butts are in place at 30m, 50m, 70m, and additional 60y, 70y. Work is still being done on the 80y and 90m butts on the right field. A 10y butt is also being added on the side near the parking lot.
The Pay Station is in place, so please don’t forget to add your $2 each time you come to shoot! We have nearly tripled the number of target butts at the Morley Range, which means many more bales need to be made on a regular schedule to keep the range in good condition. We will start scheduling monthly bale making work parties so we always have bales ready to swap out. Your $2 goes towards bale making materials and regular maintenance supplies.
We still have a few details to finish up (the entrance area, the 10y, 80y and 90m butts, etc.), so please expect periodic closures.
ATTENTION ARCHERY COACHES AND CLUBS: The San Diego Archers will soon be requiring all coaches and clubs to reserve target butts in advance. The reservation schedule will be posted on the new bulletin board near the entry to the range. If you have any questions about the new reservations system, please contact the San Diego Archers at: sandiegoarchers@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your patience and happy shooting!!
