Stabilizers, V bars, counter balances, or weighted attachments may be attached to the bow as long as these items do no extend more than 12″ from each point of attachment. ( For the purpose of this rule, any devise adding length or weight to the stabilizer shall be subject to the 12 – inch rule.) Un- weighted vibration dampeners attached to the stabilizer are measured as a part of the stabilizer and are subject to the 12-inch rule above.

Scoring
Targets shall have scoring areas as follows.
- a 11″ ring consisting of a circle centered within the 10 ring. The circle size should be approximately twenty firve percent ( 25%) of the size of the 10 ring.
- a 10 ring consisting of a circle inside of the vital area.
- A vital area ( 8 ring) that roughly approximates the heart, lung and liver area of the appropriate animal.
- The remainder of the animal shall be considered a “body” except as set out in the next bullet point.
- Targets with legs or hooves of a different color than the main body will still be considered as body color for scoring.
- An arrow embedded in the horn of a animal. not touching body color is considered a miss and is scored as a zero.
- Some targets have material surrounding the actual outline of a target animal. This additional material will not be counted for score.
Scorecards – will be provided by the facility
Scorecards must be completed for each archer and have the archer’s full name, address, and contact information.
Scorecards must be split between scorekeepers so that each scorekeeper has one card for each archer. Both scorekeepers must agree on a score, compare and record the score before the arrows are pulled from the target.
Scorecards will be marked in the correct scoring box for each target prior to being turned in.
Arrows pulled early will receive a zero – Repeated violations of this rule will result in the offending archer being disqualified.
If the two scorekeepers for a group mistakenly record different scores, the inconsistent scores must be corrected as agreed upon. The error must be circled and initialed by both and the correct score clearly marked.
Scorecards will be checked at the end. Each group’s scorecards must be turned in together by the entire group.
Scorecards must be legible, complete, and signed by the archer to be accepted. No scorecard may be changed by a competitor or scorekeeper after submitting it to a range official.
Archers shall be responsible for their own scorecards. It is up to each archer to ensure that his or her scorecard meets the above requirements.
Scoring Arrows a. Scores will be tabulated as follows:
- 11 points: 11 ring or “X” ring centered inside the 10 ring
- 10 points: 10 ring or heart
- 8 points: Vital
- 5 points: Body
- 0 points: Miss or arrow not touching body color.
If more than one scoring area is visible on a target – the intended shot will be noted on the floor with a colored 4” x 6” paper. Failure to shoot the correct target area will result in a miss.
An arrow shaft touching the line of a greater scoring area shall be given the higher score.
Arrow parts that extend beyond the shaft such as feathers, vanes, or nock collars, cannot be used to score the arrow.
Arrows must stick in the target in order to receive a score other than a zero with the exception of a pass-through, robin hood, or bounce-back
An arrow that passes through a target may be scored if witnessed and agreed upon by the majority of archers in the group. – A pass-through is an arrow passing completely through the target with material 360 degrees around the arrow, leaving a separate entrance and exit hole. If the pass-through was witnessed by a member of the group other than the shooter, and the group cannot agree, the archer may re-shoot the target before the group advances to score the target.
All whole arrows, or partial arrows that include the point, that are sticking in the target shall be scored where they penetrate the target. An arrow embedded into the nock end of an arrow embedded in the target shall be scored the same as the arrow embedded into the target. An arrow that hits another arrow—with the arrow being struck showing visible damage—that does not stick in the target shall be given the score of the arrow that was struck. The majority of the group must agree that 1) a particular arrow was struck, and 2) that striking the arrow prevented the arrow from sticking in the target, or the arrow shall be scored as a miss.
Any arrow intentionally shot into the ground or any object other than the target shall be considered an act of unsportsmanlike conduct and the arrow scored a zero.
– Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns prior to the shoot if possible.
