Target Round - intended to help maintain accuracy over the winter months. It consists of 2 ends of 6 arrows each untimed at a 40 cm (16 inch) 5 ring target with standard 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 scoring.
Speed Round - intended to help archers practice speed shooting with accuracy. It consists of 2 ends of unlimited arrows shot in a 30 second time limit for each end. Each archer must shoot at least one arrow each end but may shoot as many as possible in 30 seconds. Scoring of the 40 cm 5 ring target is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Archers who do not manage to shoot off 6 arrows in 30 seconds will gain bonus points for arrows unshot. To determine the number of bonus points, subtract the number of arrows shot from 6 for each end and add that number to the actual score of the arrows that hit the target. IE: you shoot 4 arrows, you get 2 bonus points. If the archer has not managed to hit the target at least once in the entire round of two ends, then no bonus points are added. When scoring, please record the real score + bonus points, as these are two separate fields on the entry form.
Wand Round - intended to help the archer concentrate on minimizing left/right movement. It consists of 2 ends of 6 arrows untimed. Each end is shot at a target wand 3 feet long by 6 inches wide, consisting of a central strip of one color flanked on either side by strips of a differing tint (hint:a standard strip of duct tape is 2 inches wide); each band equal in width (2 inches). Each arrow within or touching the central strip scores five points. Each arrow outside the central area but within or touching either of the two outer bands scores three points.
Bull`s Eye Round - intended to help the archer focus on the center of a target. It consists of 2 ends of 6 arrows each untimed. Each end is shot at a target consisting of a 4 inch circular bull`s eye centered within a 8 1/2 inch outer circle,(standard piece of paper). All arrows within or touching the inner circle score five points each. All arrows outside the center bull`s eye but within or touching the outer circle score three points each. Printable Target PDF
Bow Types - as this shoot will be submitted to the Grand Archery Challenge (GAT) the bow types are being simplifed down to those defined in the General Rules for the Society Seasonal Archery Challenge (SSAC).
There are two categories: Open and Period. Each category has two divisions: Handbow and Crossbow.
The equipment rules for the Open and Period divisions would follow those of the IKAC for Handbow and Crossbow with the exception of the Period Crossbow Division which is defined as the following. To be classify as a Period Crossbow all the following conditions must be met: 1) The stock must be made of wood. 2) It may not have a rifle-style butt. 3) It may not have a modern style lock (period forms of self-resetting mechanisms are fine, however) or a modern style trigger. 4) It may not have modern style sights, but may have a period style rear sight only (no front sight allowed).
In addition, there will be a Youth division. Due to the short time frame of each shoot there will only be a single overall Youth Division. This will be defined as: ages 15 and under, and not competing as an Adult in any other recorded Archery Competition (RR, IKAC, SSAC, etc). The range for Youth is 10 yards. |
