San Diego Archers

MORLEY FIELD UPDATE 

THANK YOU to SDA Member Chris Pike, proprietor of San Diego Paint Pros and California Paint Experts, for painting our new backstop fence at Morley Field.  SDA members were all set to paint part of the fence after the Tuesday League shoot on July 1^st (we thought it might take two evenings to complete).  Chris showed up with his compressed air sprayer, run off of his truck, just two hours before the League started.  He had BOTH sides of the fence finished before our 6pm start time.  Thank you to Anthony Andersen and Larry Lyford for assisting Chris.  The fence looks GREAT!

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. 

ONE more Hunter Round this year:  November 16
