ironturkey2The Iron Turkey includes:
34 3D Targets
1 Arrow per Target
Maximum Score: 355
Rangefinders allowed

Legend has it that deep within the undergrowth of Balboa Park struts the voracious Iron Turkey. Many a bold archer has risked arrow and limb confronting the fiend, only to have their precious shafts shatter to shards of carbon upon the beasts iron-scaled hide.

The tale goes that one courageous archer, known only as Dave the Dauntless, fired a magical black arrow at the fowl beast. This shot broke away small scales from its iron-clad breast, revealing two small vulnerabilities. A mighty archer of great skill and cunning could exploit this weakness and successfully impale the creature; as for the rest…. Your arrows will surely splinter.

This is a 34-target, one-arrow per target shoot, including the Iron Turkey and many other interesting shots to test your skill: The Blind Shot, the Jakes, and the Distant Gobbler.  Additionally, this Iron Turkey falls near Halloween, and some targets will have a spooky theme!  Come and see, if you dare!

Traditional Stakes for Recurve Archers and Longbows Shooters

Orange cone #1Longer-range targets will have a traditional stake (orange cone) set (per NFAA rules).  Orange cones are designated for Youth and Traditional archers with a maximum distance of 40 yards.

* For 3D Round events, if range-to-target is greater than 40 yards due to an apparent error in target cone set-up, you may use a rangefinder to adjust your shooting range to 40 yards.

Younger shooters

• For Youths (12-14 yo), the longest distance is 40 yards
• For Cubs (11 yo & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.

Animal Round, Yellow Stakes – October 15, 2023

Animal Target

The Animal Round includes:
28 2D Paper Field Targets
1-3 Arrows per Target
The best score per target is 21
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 the 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.

Marked arrowThe 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.

Pro tip!
Mark your arrows with a number. This way, when you go to score your arrows, you’ll know which hit first, second, or third.

Younger shooters

• For Youths (12-14 yo), the longest distance is 40 yards
• For Cubs (11 yo & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.
