**Animal Round**

This Sunday, January 15, 2017

The San Diego Archers

Will host the Animal Round

This SUNDAY, January 15, 2017

At the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range

Registration opens at 7:30 am

Registration closes at 8:45 am

Shoot begiins at 9am

The Animal Round includes:

28 2D Paper Field Targets

1-3 Arrows per Target

Maximum Score: 588

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.

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.

The best score per target is 21, a perfect round is 588.

For Youth, 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.

Active Duty Military: $10.

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

To ensure we start on time, registration will close at 8:45 am

Shooting starts at 9:00 am

Volunteer Work Party-January 8, 2017

Sorry! Change of Plans:

Volunteer Work Party This Sunday, Jan. 8

Clean up of Rube Powell Archery Range in preparation

for The Flying Pig 3D Shoot (Sun. Feb. 5)

Bale-Making Tutorial work party has been moved to

Sunday, January 22, 8am-noon.

The Flying Pig 3D Shoot is our 2nd largest tournament of the year. It is also our annual fund raiser shoot for a worthy charity or organization. This year, we are excited to announce the recipient of our fundraiser will be the Museum of Man’s Jessop Ancient Weapons & Archery Collection!!

Details about this fun event coming soon!

Main Work Party Focus:

Rake & clear shooting lanes, rotate/restack bales on heavily used targets, cut up any downed trees, stack dead debris for removal, any other odds & ends!

Wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles, if you have them!

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!

Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.
