Target Archery – Consists of one 540 Round. 18 Arrows (Three Arrow Ends) shot at each distance of 60 yards, 50 yards, & 40 yards. All shot on a 31” x 40” target face. Practice targets will be available on the morning of the competition.

The maximum time permitted for an athlete to shoot an end of six arrows is four (4) minutes.

In the event of an equipment failure, verified by a judge, or a medical issue verified by medical personnel, extra time may be given to make the necessary repairs, change the damaged equipment or for medical personnel to determine the problem and decide whether the athlete is fit to continue competing unassisted. In the event of an equipment failure, the athlete must call a Judge while stepping back from the shooting line.

Athletes may not raise the bow arm until the signal to start shooting is given.

Except for persons with disabilities, athletes shall shoot from a standing position and without support, with their body above the shooting line.

Under no circumstance may an arrow be re-shot. An arrow may be considered not to have been shot if:

The arrow falls from the bow or is mis-shot, and a part of the arrow shaft lies withing the zone between the shooting line.

The target face or butt blows over.

No athlete may draw their bow, with or without an arrow, except when standing on the shooting line. If an arrow is used, the athlete shall aim toward the target butts, but only after being satisfied that the range is clear both in front of and behind the target butts.

Firearms / Equipment:

Traditional & Barebow Compound are the only two divisions that will be offered.

Depending on the number of competitors divisions may be combined.

One target for every (2) two competitors.

Scoring:

1) Neither the target nor the arrow shall be touched until scoring is completed.

Targets will be scored in groupsof2 archers. If there are less than 2 archers on a target, they may be combined with another target.
Within the scoring group, one archer will call the arrow values for eacharcher, high value to low value.
Two archers will record the arrow values on separate scorecards. Thearrow values will be totaled, and the running total added by eachscorer, then compared.
If there is a disagreement concerning the value of an arrow, the Judgemakes the final decision.
Athletes with disabilities may have an Agent toassistwith scoring and pulling arrows if they cannot reach the target.
Each arrow hole shall be marked before the arrow is pulled out.

2) An arrow shall be scored according to the position of the shaft in the target face. If the shaft of an arrow touches two colors, or touches any dividing line between two scoring zones, that arrow shall score the higher of the two zones involved.

If more than the required number of arrows should be found in the target butt, on the ground near the butt, or in the shooting lanes, onlythe lowest six in value shall be scored. Athletes found to repeat this offence may be disqualified.
If a fragment of a target face is missing, including the dividing line orwhere two colors meet, orif the dividing line is pushed aside by an arrow, a line judge will determine the value of the arrow.
All arrow holes in the scoring zone shall be suitably marked by theathlete every time the arrows are scored and drawn from the targetface by 2 marks at 12 & 3 o’clock.
Arrows embedded in the butt and not showing on the face can only bescored by a judge.
A rebound arrow (an arrow hitting the target butt and rebounding orhanging from the target), shallscore according to the mark it makes on the target face, provided that all the other arrow holes have been marked and an unmarked hole or mark can be identified.
When a rebound or hanging arrow occurs, all athletes on that target butt shall stop shooting, but remain on the shooting line, calling a judge. When all athletes on the shooting line for that end have finished shooting their arrows or the time limit has expired (whichever is appropriate), the Director of Shooting will pause the tournament. The athlete with the rebound or hanging arrow shall go to the target butt together with the judge who will decide the point of impact of the rebound arrow or determine the value of the hanging arrow, note the value, remove the hanging arrow and mark the hole. The judge must later participate in scoring that end. The rebound or hanging arrow must be left behind the target butt until the complete end has been scored. When the field is clear, the Director of Shooting may give the signal for those athletes on the target butt where the rebound or hanging arrow occurred to continue shooting. Those athletes must then complete their end of three or six arrows before general shooting or scoring is resumed.

An arrow hitting the target butt and passing completely through thebutt shall score according to the value of the unmarked hole in thetarget face, provided all arrow holes have been marked and provided an unmarked hole can be identified.
An arrow that hits another arrow in thenockand remains embedded therein shall score the same value as the arrow struck.
i. An arrow that hits another arrow deflecting into the target face shallscore as it lies in the target face.
An arrow that hits another arrow then rebounding shall score thevalue of the struck arrow, provided the damaged arrow can beidentified.
An arrow that hits a target face other than the athlete’s own targetface shall be considered part of that end scored as a miss.
An arrow hitting outside the outermost scoring zone of the target faceshall score as a miss.
A miss shall be recorded as “M” on the scorecard.

3) The Director of Shooting shall see that, wherever possible following scoring, no arrows are left in the target butts before any signal is given to continue shooting.

If arrows are accidentally left in the target butt, the shooting shall notbe interrupted. An athlete may shoot that end with other arrows ormake up the arrows lost after shooting over that distance has been completed. A judge must participate in the scoring of that end, making sure that the arrows which have remained in the target butt from the previous end were entered in the athlete’s scorecard before any arrows are withdrawn from the target butt.
In the event ofan athlete leaving arrows, they may use others provided a judge is informed before shooting begins.

4) At the completion of the competition, scorecards must be signed by the scorer and the athlete, indicating that the athlete agrees with the value of each arrow, the sum total, the number of 10s and the number of X’s. If the scorer is also the archer, their scorecard must be signed by another athlete in the scoring group.

Each target will have two scorecards, one of which may be electronic. Ifthere is a discrepancy in the arrow values between an electronic and apaper scorecard, the paper card will take precedent.
The organizersare not required toaccept or record scorecards that are incomplete and/or missing a signature.
The organizers or officialsare not required toverify the accuracy of any submitted scorecard, however, if the organizers or the officials note an error, they will correct such error and the result as corrected will stand. Any such corrections must occur before the next stage of competition. Should a discrepancy be found in the sum total where: two paper scorecards were used, the sum total of the lower arrow scores will be used for the final result.

5) In the event of a tie, the ranking of the results shall be determined in the following order:

➢ Greatest number of 10s (including inner 10s)

➢ Greatest number of Xs (inner 10s)

➢ Scores still tied shall remain ties

Cone Course Events:

Precision Run - Will consist of several separate cone courses to be completed in a single run. Participants will complete the run at their own pace, and it is not a timed event. Each cone course cleared clean with no penalties will subtract 1 second from your Speed / Timed Run.

Speed/Timed Run - Will consist of several cone courses connected making one large course. Participants will be timed on a single run through the entire course. The objective is to complete the course with the fewest penalties and at your own pace, but you will be ranked amongst the other participants based on penalties and overall time for the course. Your time will start when the contact pad of your front tire crosses the start line and your time will end at the finish / stop box when your motorcycle comes to a complete stop with your left foot on the ground.

Slow Ride Event - Participants will enter the course at a designated location and leave the course at a designated location.

Your time starts when the contact pad of your front tire crosses the start point and ends when the contact pad of your rear tire crosses the finish point.

Team Event – Will take place in the Speed / Timed Run course but will be split up in different sections. Teammates (party of two) will choose who will be the leader and who will be the follower. The leader will start the course with their teammates following directly behind them. If both participants clear the course section clean with no penalties, they will swap positions as the leader and follower and move onto the next course swapping positions after every cleared section. If either one of the participants commits a penalty within a section of the course, they both must re-due that section of the course until it’s cleared clean before moving on to the next section. Your time will start when the contact pad of the leader’s front tire crosses the start line and your time will end at the finish / stop box when both motorcycles come to a complete stop inside the box with both participants’ left foot on the ground. The team with the fastest time wins.

Running out of the event more than once – Disqualified (DQ)

Note: All the penalties above apply to Speed / Timed Run only. If you accumulate more than 10 seconds of penalties it is an automatic disqualification.

Judging/Disputes/Ties/Mechanical Failures:

There will be 5 judges to include a head judge that will keep score of all penalties and time. If there is a dispute of any kind, all judges will review the dispute with the head judge. Head judge makes the final decision for the outcome of the dispute.

Ties will be determined by flipping a challenge coin. If the coin lands on Heads both participants overall times for the Speed / Time Run Event and Team Event will be added up. The participant with the least amount of time wins the tie. If the coin lands on Tails both participants will run the Speed / Time Run Event again to determine a winner. In the event they both tie again, both participants will share the award for the event.

If a participant’s motorcycle has a mechanical failure while competing in a course event it will be assessed by the judges. If the participant can use another participant’s motorcycle (same division) they will be allowed 5 minutes to get that motorcycle and be at the start line of the course for another run attempt.

Note: A broken kickstand stand spring will not be considered a mechanical failure. If you are afraid of this happening tie your kickstand up but do so at your own risk.
