  • Whistle system: 2 = go to line, 1 = shoot, 3 = advance to score, 4 or more = emergency stop.
  • Should equipment failure occur, a 30-minute repair time will be allowed with no disruption of the shooting line. A maximum of two ends may be made up at the discretion of the Director of Shooting.
  • Field glasses or scopes are permitted for spotting arrow hits. Scopes may be placed on the shooting line provided they do not disrupt the shooting of the adjacent archer.  Scopes shall be removed from the line between ends if not utilized by the other archer shooting in that space.
  • No broadheads will be permitted.

At the discretion of the Director of Shooting, replacement centers may be used to repair a target face during competition.
  • Dividing lines are part of the higher scoring ring. The arrow shaft must only touch the color or dividing line between scoring zones to score the high value.
  • Targets will NOT be marked for hits. A witnessed bounce out or pass through will be shot over.  If an arrow countersinks or destroys another arrow in the target and then bounces back, that arrow shall count the score of the arrow it destroyed.
  • Two archers at each target will keep the double set of scorecards. Scores shall be compared after each end.  If the scorecards do not agree after arrows have been removed from the target, then the lower score shall be the official score.  The winner in each style/age group shall be the archer scoring the highest number of points in the single 900 round.
