The pegs mark the shooting line, where different divisions have different colored pegs. Typically the classes also divide men, women and cadet archers. On a standard tournament, the distances will be unmarked, but in some beginner shoots, they are marked. An indoor 3D tournament may look pretty similar to a normal range differentiated by the real sized animal-shaped targets, and the obstacles between the shooters to the targets. An outdoors range will be much more similar to a field archery range, where its environment will be highly dependent on the area you live in — wooded areas or rough hills are common for a 3D competition.
A standard competition place targets at ranges of yards. One of the hardest skills to master in bowhunting is distance judging, and it comes to play in these scenarios. The number of targets in a competition varies but is usually between 20 to 40 targets across the whole tournament. The current ASA standard number of targets is 20 but it does vary on a yearly basis. This is a good rule of thumb, but you should check with the specific local club that holds the tournament and make sure.
The scoring system is a bit different and depends on which club hosts the tournament. In both, though, the total score of a competitor is the sum of each arrow hit score, which is dependent on where it hit the target.
Since the targets in 3D archery tournaments are different from other forms of archery, they have a specific set of rules for scoring. The animal-shaped target will have multiple scoring rings, usually located on the vital areas, where each has a different value. In the ASA rules system, any hit in a nonvital area will be awarded 5 points. A hit within the large vital area, meaning the first ring, is worth 8 points. A hit inside the large circle within the vital area is worth 10 points.
Within the 10 points area, there will be 2 small circles, each worth 12 points. In case of a tie the higher, smaller, off-center circle will be awarded 2 more points to a total of 14 points. Any miss will be awarded 0 points, where hitting the animals horns counts as a miss. They might have the smaller 14 points circle on the target, but ignore it and count it as a part of the 10 points section.
The universal rules are somewhat of a combination of these: they have both the central 11 points circle, and the off-centered 12 points circles. Most archers in 3D tournaments use either a compound or a recurve bow. In most competitions, longbows are also allowed, but it would be wise to check the rules with the specific club that holds the tournament. In a standard competition, a fixed pin sight and binoculars are allowed, while laser sights and rangefinders are prohibited.
They give an unfair advantage to their users since a big part of bowhunting is estimating the range to the target. Remember to bring your arrows, quiver and other gear. Compound archers should bring their release aid and other gear, same goes for recurve archers and their gloves if you use any. If you use binoculars to make sure to bring them along as well. It will be a good idea to bring comfortable clothes with you, and maybe a small back with water and snacks.
They can cause a lot of damage to the targets, which are definitely not cheap. Archery tournaments can be a really fun activity, and a way to motivate yourself to practice archery. They are also an incredible place to meet practice buddies and hang out with other local archers.
I really recommend reading it. I really hope that after reading this guide you feel confident going to a shoot and that you understand everything you need to know about archery competitions. The main 3 types of archery tournaments are target archery, field archery, and 3D archery tournaments.
They require a completely different skillset and have different rules and scoring systems. A standard competition takes between 3 and 4 hours but may take up to a complete day. Though the shooting itself is the most exciting part of the tournament, a lot of the time is dedicated to scoring, resting and waiting for the judges. Field archery has 2D targets in different shapes, depending on the round. Big competitions can have large prize pools of thousands of dollars and high-end archery equipment, but usually attracts better competitors and have a higher entrance fee.
Some hobbyists make good money off archery. I'm an outdoors lover and sports enthusiast. I enjoy researching and writing about archery between my university semesters. Archery Information Or A.

In the Olympics, archery is always practiced outdoors , and so archers are subject to many outdoors influences and distractions such as noise, wind, rain, light, and even the pressure to compete in the Olympic games.

They are men's individual, women's individual, men's team, women's team, and mixed team. There are a total of 64 qualification spots available for each gender.

This ranking round determines the placements for all five of the competitions. In the ranking round, each archer shoots 72 arrows. Their scores will be tallied and each archer will be ranked from 1 to The men's and women's events at the Olympics both follow the same format.
After being seeded according to the ranking round results, the archers enter the elimination rounds, where they are whittled down from 64 to 1. Men's and women's team events also follow this same format. Each of the 12 teams include three players from the same nation, and each team is ranked according to the aggregate rankings of each of its members.
Because of this three archers per team format, each nation may only send a maximum of six archers to the Olympics. Teams then enter a single-elimination competition starting with a round of The top four teams are given a bye straight to the quarterfinals.
The 16 mixed archery teams include one male and one female archer each. They are formed by taking the highest-ranked male and female archers from each country and pairing them together.
The Tokyo Olympics are the first to feature this mixed team archery format. In the Olympic Games, all five of the archery events have the same distance between the archer and the target: 70 meters. The distance may vary in other competitions according to the size of the target, however in the Olympics both are kept constant.
All of the Olympic targets that have a diameter of centimeters. What is the target? There are 5 notable and visible colours that are marked out on the target placed on a large board.
Each colour is allotted two circles and each circle measures The points per colour in order of the distance outwards to the centre is:. Each archer in all the events has a total time of 20 seconds to shoot the arrow. Failing to do so within the stipulated time makes the score 0 for that particular shot.
For team matches, each team has a total of two minutes to shoot 6 arrows per set. The second team can only shoot after the first team has shot all the arrows of that set in no particular order. The team that reaches 6 setpoints first wins. In order to qualify for the team event with a maximum cap of 12 teams per gender, a country must be within the top 8 as per the World Archery Championships to make up 8 spots.
One spot is reserved for the host country while 3 other spots can be claimed by the top 3 teams at the World Qualification Tournament. Home Archery.
