9. This is a two (2) arrow per target shoot. Eleven (11) for the scoring dot, Ten (10) for the scoring
circle, and Eight (😎 for any shot touching the animal outside of the scoring circle.
10. Scoring is determined by the position of the arrow shaft; an arrow shaft needs only touch the edge of the spot, scoring line or animal to gain the higher value. In the event the edge of the spot or scoring line has become distorted or missing from arrow impacts, the scorer must visually reconstruct the natural arc of the spot of scoring ring to determine the value of the arrow in
question. The shooting group should be able to determine this; if not, a range official will.
11. If there is more than one scoring dot on an animal, then the archer must call the dot they are aiming for. If you hit a dot that you were not aiming at on your animal, it will be scored as an eight
(😎. If you hit any scoring area on an animal other than your own, it will be scored as a zero (0).
12. The archer must straddle the implied shooting line (parallel to target), which is marked by the distance stakes. It is not necessary to touch the stake. No archer may advance to the target
before all arrows in the group have been shot.
13. Arrows which are not visible, as they have passed through the animal’s scoring area, may be
pushed back and scored so long as part of the arrow is still in the bale.
14. No archer shall advance to the target and then return to the stake to shoot again, unless an arrow is found to have obviously passed through the animal and the group cannot agree on the score.
15. Glance-offs and off-ground skids or glances into the target WILL NOT count. If witnessed, arrows striking an object over the shooting lanes may be re-shot.
16. Any archer, who shoots arrows at the target in excess of the prescribed number (2), shall lose the arrow or arrows of the higher value. Repeated arrows, such as a test arrow or arrows for a bet, shall deem the archer subject to disqualification. Lanes with more than one (1) target, the archer only shoots one (1) target (Left/Right or Top/Bottom).
17. A shot arrow is an arrow that has been propelled by the string for any distance and MAY NOT be reshot.
