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 from RED colored stakes. 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.Hunter Target

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 from 33 feet 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, with 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. For example, 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.

Hello Archers of San Diego!
Please join us for a work party this Saturday, November 7 from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m..  We need to put the vandalized targets back on their stands along with replacing the blue guide posts at the correct target location.  We’ll also paint over the ever present graffiti and pick up any trash on the range.  We ask you to bring your mask, eye protection and gloves.  If you will be within 6 feet of another person, masks will be worn.

    • Safety Glasses / Face Shield
    • Gloves / Long Pants, Long Sleeves and Boots recommended
    • Paint brushes / Paint Rollers
    • We have a pitchfork, a few rakes & shovels (or bring your favorite!)
Tasks:
  • Prepare targets and shooting lanes for upcoming Hunter Round on 15 November.
  • Repair/replace bales and target faces on the practice range and course targets as needed.
  • Consolidate green waste near the lower container.
  • Use old bale materials to fill in areas prone to erosion.
  • Paint over any graffiti on the lower container and bridge.
We know your weekends are busy so it’s okay if you can only come for a short time.  Everyone is welcome; many hands make light work.
Thanks everyone! We really appreciate your help.

Honor Our Military & Iron Turkey 3D Challenge Results – 31 October 2020

Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual Iron Turkey and Honor the Military 3D Challenge.  SDA says THANK YOU to our Military and Veterans by offering this shoot at no cost to them in recognition of their unique role in defending our nation.  We will extend this offer to ALL FIRST RESPONDERS in 2021 to reflect their contributions to our community as well.

A special thank you to Clarissa Bond who ensured everyone had a bit of sustenance at the start of their round… and then directed “traffic” at the end to maintain our high priority on safety.  The dreaded Iron Turkey “ate” a few… OK, more than a few… of our arrows at the end, but there is always 2021.  Practice and show him who’s boss next year!

Unfortunately, some very selfish and immature individuals thought it was their prerogative to vandalize the range this week.  We’re sure you saw the damage to the target stands, guide posts and range markers.  We’ll be announcing a work party soon to get the Rube Powell Archery Range back online for all to enjoy.  Watch for announcements in email, on Facebook and this website.

Now, let’s recognize those archers who stood out with their expertise and dauntless courage in facing the Iron Turkey!
