For the state tournament, one (1) arrow will be shot at each target.
Archers have 2 minutes to shoot their arrow after they step up to the stake.
Scoring will be accomplished in the same way as in the indoor competition. (Rules 3, 4, 5)
In case of a breakdown the shooter has 45 minutes to repair or replace equipment. Missed targets will be made up at the end of the competition in the presence of tournament officials. Only one breakdown per round.
A dropped arrow between the quiver and nocking or on a called let down may be re-shot. Any arrow shot with the energy of the bow propelling it, no matter the distance traveled, will be judged a shot arrow.
There will be a 5-minute time limit to find lost arrows. Enough arrows must be carried to complete the round. If an archer must leave the range to get additional arrows all missed targets shall have NO SCORE.
All disputes shall be taken to the tournament official. If one is not available at the target, mark the cards and consult an official before turning in the cards. Once the card is signed and turned in the score stands unless obvious corrections need to be made by tournament officials.
Any person shooting Basic Bow class will shoot one distance lower than their age. Ex. BB YA – Shoot Youth distance, BB Y – Shoot Cub distance, BB C – Shoot Cub distance.
