ARCHERY CENTER and 3D RANGE RULES….

Do not leave the course trails and be alert, never run or go backwards on the trails.

There is poison oak on this property. Although rarely seen, rattlesnakes, courgars and bears are know to live in this part of the state. For your safety and added enjoyment, shooting with a partner, using ”buddy system“ is strongly recommended.

Caution: When pulling your arrows from the target, do not stand directly behind the arrow as you pull it. If it breaks free suddenly you will discover that even an arrow knock is sharp enough to cut. Not following this advice is the cause of the most common accident in archery.

3D RANGE SCORING

There are 4 scoring areas marked on the target. A hit anywhere on the animal out side of the marked rings is 5 points. The largest area or ring is 8 points, the next smallest is ring 10 and finally, the inside ring is 12 points. Arrows that are touching a line score the higher value of the two regions. Hits outside of all rings score 5 points, with the exception that hits on the horns or hooves score zero. Misses also score zero. Here are some typical scoring rings from a McKenzie 3D target. And you’re right, the heart on a deer is lower in the body than the 10-ring indicates. It’s very important to remember that 3D is target shooting, not hunting. Aim accordingly, and be particularly wary on angled shots.

ASA SCORING

There are 4 scoring rings marked on the target. A hit with in the largest ring 10 points. There are 2 smaller 12 point rings inside of the 10 ring. The lower 12 is what we call the Saturday 12 or first round 12 located in the bottom of the 10 ring .It is shot during the first round only when you have to judge the distance to the target  The second Sunday 12 is located high in the 10 ring it is shot only on the second or known range round .
