2017 Youth National Championships Supplementary Information for Rounds to be Shot

FIELD – General Information

There will be bow inspection and registration. You must attend both.

Please ensure that all your arrow shafts (not the fletches) are clearly initialled. This enables lost arrows to be returned to their owners.

There will be a briefing by the Chief Judge, each day, prior to the start of shooting.

It is important for your (and your fellow archers) safety, that you obey all signs, and instructions from judges and marshalls. STAY ON MARKED TRACKS AND IN WAITING AREAS!!

World Archery rules state that you must “draw up on your target.” This means that, when shooting uphill or downhill, your bow must be aimed at the target when you start to draw back. You must not come to full draw and then move your bow / line of sight onto the target. An accidentally loosed arrow is a real danger to all on the course.

There are two separate courses.

Archers are reminded that, while camo bows are now permitted, camo equipment (including arrows), camo clothing, and denim are not allowed.

Do not wear red clothing. Archery NZ rules state this colour is reserved for judges.

Competitors will be divided into groups of three or four archers each. You will be in different groups for each day.

Groups will walk in to their allocated target. Each group will start at a different target number. Make sure that you start your scoring at the correct target number on your score sheet.

Shooting will commence at the sound of the fog horn.

There will be one peg of each colour per target.

Archers will need at least eight to ten arrows; allow for lost arrows and misses.

Archers must be BEHIND the pegs. Archers may stand or kneel up to approximately one metre away from the peg

There will be space at each peg for two archers to shoot at the same time.

Step up to the peg to take your shot. Step back when you have finished shooting.

Both courses are winding, uphill and downhill. At times, while you are shooting, you may become aware of people moving, possibly in your peripheral vision. Safety and overshoot zones have been carefully considered by the judges. Concentrate on your shot.

An arrow will not be considered to have been shot if, the archer can touch it wth their bow without moving their feet from their position, and provided the arrow has not rebounded.

Shooting order. Archers who shoot first on even numbered targets, will do so for all remaining even numbered targets, and shoot second on all odd numbered targets. Conversely, archers shooting first on odd numbered targets, will do so for all remaining odd numbered targets, and shoot second on all even numbered targets. However, if all archers in the group agree, the order may be reversed for the second time around.

Follow the instructions to either “walk back” (return to the shooting peg to collect your bow) or “take bow” (the path to the next target starts at the target butt).

Do not stay to look for lost arrows. You will delay the following groups. At the completion of the round, archers may return to targets to look for arrows. Make a note of the target number and let a judge know.

“Port a loos” will be located at one or more points around the course. Their locations will be marked on your course maps.

There will be food and drinks available for purchase each day, at the club house.

Please ensure that you carry some snacks, a drink, warm clothes (including a hat that you can shoot in), a raincoat and wear sturdy, fully enclosed shoes / boots.

There MAY BE a point for spectators on the Marked round on Saturday. This course is newly constructed. You will be advised during the briefing on Saturday.

FIELD – Marked Round, Sat 30/9 The Course: This course will consist of twelve targets. Archers will walk around the course twice. Distances: Closest (m) Longest (m) Yellow Peg 5m 40m Blue Peg 5m 50m Red Peg 10m 60m

We recommend that you have sight marks for a range of distances (usually in 5m increments) to cover the distances required for your division.

The rules allow the makers of the course to build shooting areas with a margin of plus or minus 2m. Each distance will be marked on each peg.

Archers will shoot three arrows at each target.

The distance is measured from centre of the target to the peg location, approximately 1.5m above ground.

Target Faces:

Will be black and yellow.

Sizes will range from 20cm through to 80cm.

Scoring will be 6,5,4,3,2,1. The shaft of the arrow must be touching the line to be scored at the higher zone.

The majority of the archers on the target must agree when scoring line cutting arrows.

20cm Spots (Bug eyes):

There will be twelve faces per target, arranged in four columns of three faces each.

Yellow and blue distances will be between 5 to 15m.

Red distances will be between 10 to 20m.

The first pair of archers step up to the pegs. The archer on the left hand side shoots column one, and the archer on the right shoots column three.

The second pair of archers step up to the pegs. The archer on the left hand side shoots column two, and the archer on the right shoots column four.

If there are three archers in the group, the archer shooting alone will always shoot from the left hand side of the peg, into columns one or two.

At the completion of shooting, there must only be one arrow in each face, for the vertical column used by each archer.

If there are two arrows in one face, the score for the highest scoring arrow is forfeit, and scored as a miss.

40cm Faces:

There will be four faces per target arranged in two columns of two faces each.

Yellow distances will be between 10 to 20m.

Blue distances will be between 15 to 25m.


The first pair of archers step up to the pegs. The archer on the left hand side shoots at the top left face, and the archer on the right shoots at the top right face.

The second pair of archers step up to the pegs. The archer on the left hand side shoots at the bottom left face, and the archer on the right shoots at the bottom right face.

If there are three archers in the group, the archer shooting alone will always shoot from the left hand side of the peg, into the top left or bottom left target face, depending on the rotation of the group.

60cm Faces:

There will be one face per target.



Red distances will be between 35 to 45m. 80cm Faces:

There will be one face per target.

All archers will shoot the same face.




FIELD – 3D Unmarked Round, Sun 1/10

No cameras, mobile phones or range finders are allowed on the unmarked course.

There will be twenty four “model animal” targets of various sizes, set out at different distances.

Mostly (but not always), the smaller targets are placed at closer distances than the larger ones!!

Archers only shoot ONE arrow at each target, from the coloured peg appropriate to their division.

The red peg distances will be between 10 to 45m.

The blue peg distances will be between 5 to 30m.

There are no distance markers, so archers must make an “educated guess” as to the distance to the target and set their sight accordingly.

There will be a laminated A4 sized picture of the actual target animal placed at the waiting area of each target. The scoring zones will be marked in red.

Scoring for this round is 11,10, 8,and 5.

The shaft of the arrow must be touching the line to be scored at the higher zone.


OFFICIAL PRACTICE, Mon 2 Oct

This segment of the programme allows you to practice at the target venue, at the various distances and target faces that you will shoot for the remainder of the tournament.

There will be a short opening ceremony and then practice will proceed.

You must allow time for your gear to be inspected by the judges.

There will be registration for those archers that did not shoot the field rounds.

Archers are reminded that, while camo bows are now permitted, camo equipment (including arrows), camo clothing, and denim are not allowed.

Do not wear red clothing. Archery NZ rules state this colour is reserved for judges.

CLOUT, Mon 2 /10


Archers will all shoot at the same time, at different targets / flags, according to the distance for their division.

5 zone scoring will be used ie. yellow = 9; red = 7; blue = 5; black = 3; white = 1.

No spare arrows are to be carried into the target area. Your quiver must be empty before you step in front of the shooting line.

All archers must take care when walking forward to the target areas as there will be arrows on the ground that have landed outside the scoring zones. Protocol states that these arrows are to be struck, upright, into the ground, (at the place where the arrow entered the ground) to make it easier for the owner to find them.

Archers are NOT permitted to enter the scoring zones. Distances:

80m Barebow Kiwi, Cub and Intermediate, Girls and Boys Compound Kiwi and Cub, Girls and Boys Longbow Kiwi, Cub and Intermediate, Girls and Boys Recurve Kiwi and Cub, Girls and Boys

120m Barebow Cadet Women and Men, Junior Women Longbow Cadet Women and Men, Junior Women Recurve Intermediate, Girls and Boys

145m Barebow Junior Men Compound Intermediate Girls and Boys, Cadet Women Longbow Junior Men Recurve Cadet Women and Men, Junior Women

165m Compound Cadet Men, Junior Women Recurve Junior Men

185m Compound Junior Men Robin Hood and Maid Marion:

This is awarded to the New Zealand archer who shoots the FIRST ARROW of the FIRST SIGHTING END closest to the clout flag.

There will be one certificate / trophy awarded per clout target.

The arrrow used here must have your name and division clearly stated on the shaft of the arrow.

Sighting Ends:

There will be two sighting ends, followed by six ends of six arrows each; thirty six scoring arrows in total.

The archers will shoot their first arrow and then step off the shooting line. The judges will inspect each target to determine the Maid Marion and Robin Hood winners.

Archers will then shoot their second and third arrows. When the Director of Shooting (DOS) gives permission, archers may move their lollipops.

Archers then shoot their remaining three arrows. When the DOS gives permission, archers proceed to the target areas to collect their arrows.

The second sighting end is shot in two groups of three arrows, with a break to move the lollipop again, should the archer wish to do so.

Scoring ends are shot without the break after three arrows. Archers may move their lollipops before the start of the next scoring end.

Sights:

Only compound bows may use a prism.

The sight used must be one of the following options: o the normal target sight at the front of the bow: o the sight reversed o a pin, etc, at the back of the bow. If using a pin, the

archer may also use a point of aim, and remove the normal target sight.

Points of Aim (aka “lollipops”):

May be any colour or shape

Must not be more than 15cm above the ground.

Maximum diameter is 7.5cm.

Must not be placed in the target area.

May only be shifted when the director of shooting gives permission during sighting ends, or between ends when no permission is necessary.

TARGET – General Information


You must compete in the same division for the 1440 and 720 rounds to be eligible for target medals, trophies and Champion of Champions trophies.

Practice Ends:

Practice will be for a minimum of twenty minutes prior to the start of scoring.

Scoring:

The arrow holes in the target faces must be marked, after scoring but prior to pulling the arrows from the target butt. This is usually a pen or pencil line that extends from the edge of the hole. If any archer has an arrow that bounces off the target face, then an unmarked hole means that the archer can be credited with the score for that arrow.

The shaft of the arrow must be touching the line to be scored at the higher zone.


Double scoring will be used. There will be two complete sets of score sheets at each target butt. All boxes must be completed and all score sheets signed by the archer, scorer and a witness.

Alterations to arrow values. These must be signed on the score sheets, by all of the archers on the target. Kiwi, Cub and Intermediate divisions - any changes must be witnessed by a Judge.

Please check and double check your scoresheets before signing and handing in. IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE ADMIN TEAM TO CHECK AND CORRECT YOUR SCORES.

Archers will be allocated into teams of two. This will use the Youth Olympic Games format designed to create evenly matched teams. This places the highest ranked female with the lowest ranked male, and so on. An allowance will be made for single sex teams, where there is not an even gender mix.

The LOC anticipate that all archers will proceed to this part of the competition.

Cadet and Junior Recurve archers will shoot from 60m onto a 122cm face

Cadet and Junior Compound archers will shoot from 50m onto a standard compound 80cm face.

Kiwi, Cub, Intermediate (Recurve AND Compound) shoot at 25m on a full 80cm face.

Each archer will shoot two arrows per end. Time for each end is eighty seconds.

Each match consists of four ends
