The Field Round is a field archery tournament of 28 2D paper targets, firing 4 arrows per target from WHITE colored stakes for a total of 112 arrows.  There are 3 scoring zones on each target.

Targets may have different shooting positions:

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.

Season Opener Results! – 11 August 2019

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Second Annual Season Opener 3D Shoot. This was a very challenging shoot and everyone had a such great time!!  A special thank you to Travis Bowman and his fantastic team of volunteers (primarily Louis Bacling, Melanie Lucia, Tammy Terra, Doug Samson and many more).  The target sets were amazingly clever and closely mimicked the type of shot you might find yourself making while in the field going after the buck of a lifetime.  We hope this shoot provided a better appreciation of what shots are high percentage, ethical shots for you from those that are better left untaken to prevent a wounded, unrecovered animal.

The archery divisions were very simple: Compound/Traditional, Male/Female, Hunter/Non-Hunter.

A very special THANK YOU goes out to Bruce Marshall from the Bow & Arrow Shop who generously donated some amazing prizes including Vortex binoculars, Horn Hunter Fanny Pack and a Rinehart elk target among many other fantastic prizes!  Also, Devin O’Dea provided two dozen arrows from Victory Archery as raffle prizes to everyone who successfully shot the Victory Archery steel target.

Below are the results in the Hunter division followed by the Non-Hunter division.
