Volunteer Work Party-This Saturday, April 29, 2017

Range Preparation for King Arthur Tournament!
This Saturday, April 29, 7am to ~noon
Rube Powell Archery Range

    Please come help us prepare for our 50th Annual King Arthur Tournament (on June 18) by cleaning up the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range. Our goal for this work party will be to remove weeds and rake them into piles at as many targets as we can.
    Show up anytime between 7am and 11am! Bring gloves, water and a hat (long sleeves and pants would be a good idea…the weeds are shoulder-high in some places). If you have a weed whacker or rake, bring them along. We have some rakes and shovels, too. Stay as long as you want – we plan to work until around noon.
    Allison is hosting this event: she’s bringing COFFEE, BAGELS, DONUTS, and other goodies! Please RSVP by e-mailing her at allison.shearer@gmail.com so she can have enough snacks for everyone.
    Volunteers get to shoot their next tournament for free! We have a 3D and 900 round coming up in May.
    The next scheduled work party for King Arthur prep will be May 13. We’ll continue with clearing the range and replacing many target bales.

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 in their next tournament!

Animal Round – 15 April 2017 (Saturday)

Animal Round
The San Diego Archers
Will host the Animal Round
This Saturday, April 15, 2017
At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

Registration opens at 7:30am
Registration Closes at 8:45am
Shoot begins at 9am

The Animal Round includes:
28 2D Paper Field Targets
1-3 Arrows per Target
Maximum Score: 588
No Rangefinders allowed

Animal Rounds use 2D paper targets with ‘uneven’ distances between 5 and 60 yards, reminiscent of the Hunter Round. The rules and scoring are significantly different.

The archer begins at the first YELLOW shooting stake of the target and shoots the first arrow. If it hits, you do not have to shoot again. If it misses, you advance to the second shooting stake and shoot a second arrow, then, to the third shooting stake for a third shot, if needed.

.

Animal Target

The best score per target is 21
Maximum Score: 588

There are 3 scoring zones: Bonus Kill Zone, Kill Zone and Hit Zone.

Scoring is based on where you hit and with which arrow.

The first arrow shot is scored 21, 20 or 18. The second arrow is scored 17, 16 or 14, and the third arrow is scored 13, 12 or 10. A scoring chart is included on your scorecard.

For Youths:

  • For 15 years and older, the longest distance is 50 yards.

  • For Youths (12-14 yo), the longest distance is 40 yards.

  • For Cubs (11 yo & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.
