Farewell Party for Ed Herrera-This Sunday, August 13, 2017

Farewell Party for Ed Herrera Tomorrow!
Sunday afternoon, 8/13/17, noon til dark/whenever!
Potluck, please bring something to share
Ed will have the BBQ fired up for anyone that wants to grill something! 

As many of you know, one of our amazing Morley Field Range Captains is leaving us this week. Ed Herrera has gone above and beyond all expectations of San Diego Archers Range Captains. Ed has completely transformed the archery community in Balboa Park, but especially at the Morley Field Archery Range. Besides being an incredibly positive and fun role model for new archers, adjusting equipment and offering advice, he is first to step up and help ANY archer at the range, taking apart bows and repairing them for no charge, etc. With his welding skills, he built and installed nearly all (if not all) of the bow racks, bow tables and picnic tables at Morley that everyone uses daily.  (See our Facebook post for more details on Ed’s accomplishments at Morley!)
 
Ed is being stationed in Hawaii and leaving on Wednesday, 8/16. We wish him the best in his new position and look forward to him hopefully returning to San Diego in a few years. He may be at the Tuesday Evening League (~5:30-7pm) this week, so if you can’t make it on Sunday, please stop by on Tuesday to say thank you to a wonderful volunteer!
 
The San Diego Archers would like to sincerely thank Ed for all that he has done for so many people in our wonderful archery community. We will miss you dearly!!!

Unmarked 3D Round – 6 August 2017

Unmarked 3D Round
The San Diego Archers
Will host the 3D Round
This Saturday, August 6, 2017
At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

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

 

The 3D Round includes:
28 2D Paper Hunter Targets (EDIT!!)
1 Arrows per Target
Maximum Score: 280
No Rangefinders allowed

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

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!

.

3D Round Turkey

Scoring: 10-8-5
Maximum Score: 280

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 the 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.

 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.

Entry Fee:
$10 for SDA members & Active Duty Military
$15 for non-members.

Please arrive at the Balboa Park Archery Range with plenty of time to register.
