Scoring will be 10-8-5 with the location of the ten zone indicated by an ORANGE dot.
Note: Whilst the 1 hour set for each round should be ample time to shoot and score, the tournament director will indicate if shooters are moving too slow.
A warm-up area is available for those who are, “Next on Deck” with 15 minutes being allowed prior to shooting.

There are 40 shooting spots available at each time slot, two shooting lines (A and B line) on 10 bales.
We will be following NFAA ruling on timing for the tournament.
Archers will be assigned a target and will be grouped for group scoring. Manual scoring will be used with two scorecards per archer.
Archers should be familiar with tournament scoring. Non-archers (including coaches and parents) are not allowed down-range without specific permission from the Tournament Director.
