Scoring 3D

Scoring 300

300 Round

• Archers shoot the 300 indoor round at a blue and white target face.
• It’s archer’s choice between a single- or five-spot, but everyone shoots 60 arrows – 12 ends of five – for a maximum of 300 points per round. Most targets are set at 20 yards; cubs aged 12 and under shoot 10 yards.
• Each shooting line has two ends of practice before scoring begins; halfway through the round, archers switch their targets from top to bottom, or vice versa, on the target butt.

Single-spot target face

• The standard single-spot target face measures 40 centimeters in diameter.
• It has an eight-centimeter white five-ring – with a four-centimeter diameter X-ring in the very middle – and blue rings scoring four, three, two and one points.

Five-spot target face

• Archers can choose to use a five-spot target face.
• Each of the five spots has an eight-centimeter five-ring, colored white, and a four-centimeter diameter X-ring in the middle.
• Each spot also has two blue rings, both four centimeters wide and both scoring four points.
• Archers can shoot at the five spots in any order each end and shoot as many arrows into any spot as they want – as long as they don’t shoot more than five arrows each end.
• In both faces, Xs are always counted and used as tiebreakers. Arrows only need to touch the line to be given the higher value.

3D

• We will have 28 targets on the course.
• Start time will be on a first come basis.
• All classes will be shooting center 12’s.
• Target “Pass Through” or “Rebound” without striking another arrow: (1) Arrows passing through the front of, but still in, the target will be pushed back and scored; (2) If the group agrees that an arrow passed through the targets insert seam the shooter will be given a score based on the point of pass through not to exceed eight 8 points; (3) If the group agrees and confirms that the arrow actually passed through the target due to the high number of arrows that had been shot at the target, the range official is to be notified and the shooter will be allowed to take the score where the “pass-through” occurred as determined by the group up to a maximum score of 10 points, or (4) If the group agrees that the arrow rebounded out of the target, or deflected off of a plastic leg, without striking another arrow the shooter will be allowed to take the score where the rebound occurred up to a maximum of ten (10) points. Special Note: A score of 12 will not be permitted under sections 2, 3 or 4 of this rule.
• Any arrow embedding (“Robin Hood”) in the nock of another arrow will be scored the same as the arrow it is embedded in.
• Any arrow rebounding backward off another Arrow (a “Robin Hood” that strikes and damages another arrow and does not proceed toward the target, but bounces back) will be scored the same as the arrow it struck, provided the damaged arrow can be identified.
• Any arrow deflecting by contact with another arrow already in the target and still proceeding toward the target will be scored based on where it lies in the target or a maximum of five (5) points if it is not in the target.
• An arrow that drops while being nocked onto the string in preparation for a shot may be picked up and shot with no penalty. If in the process of letting down an arrow drops off the bow, or is jarred off by hand contact with bow, it may be picked up and shot with no penalty. The shooter is responsible for maintaining control of the arrow at all times and an arrow must not be released or otherwise propelled by the string or it will be scored a zero.
• A shooter may only let-down two (2) times on a target. Upon a third letdown, the shooter will receive a score of zero for that target.

Rules and Regulations

• The shoot will consist of a single 28 target course.
• Archers will shoot one arrow per target.
• The entire tournament will be marked yardage.
• Rangefinders are allowed.
• Verifiers are allowed in Freestyle Hunter.
• Archers must touch stake with part of clothing or body or straddle with both feet.
• No compromising of the shooting stake.
• Each archer will be allowed 2 minutes at the shooting stake.

Mechanical Breakdown

• In the event of a mechanical breakdown of a shooters bow or release, (not arrows), the group must agree that the item is indeed defective. 
• The shooter will have 30 minutes to repair or replace the defective equipment. 
• If the shooter is unable to do so, the targets already shot will be used for his or her score.
• If the shooter is able to make repairs, they will be put back in the group if possible. 

SCORING

• The shoot will be scored in a neutral group setting, no exceptions. 
• Archers will not be able to score own card. 
• Score card needs to be signed by the shooter and the score keeper.
• All targets will be scored 5-8-10-12 using the center 12 in all classes.
• Scoring will be done by your individual groups.
