SUMMARY:Summer Field Hunter Animal League
DESCRIPTION:The Turpin Outdoor Education Center will be hosting a National Field Archery Association (NFAA) Field Hunter Animal (FHA) League at our beautiful outdoor Field Course this summer! \nThe FHA round simulates real-world conditions and challenges archers with varied distances\, target sizes\, and terrain. Each week we will alternate between the Field\, Hunter or Animal round that consists of 14 different targets each. If you haven’t been to our Field course before\, now is a great chance to explore it with other experienced archers! \nThe league will meet at the outdoor shooting tower at 6pm on Thursday evenings for 10 weeks\, starting May 15. From there groups will be determined and set to start at a specific target within the field course. \nIf you can’t make it to league night\, archers can drop-in during the center’s open hours\, collect your scorecard and shoot the round outside on the field course Friday through Tuesday\, sunrise to sunset. Targets will be rotated each week. The final date to turn in scorecards will be July 29. \nParticipants who are new to field archery should join us on Thursday evenings to enjoy shooting with the group\, to learn the ropes\, and gain valuable experience shooting with seasoned archers! \nIndividual prizes will be awarded by drawing ‘tickets’. Tickets are earned by attendance\, top score each week\, most overall improved\, and top overall score. The number of prizes awarded will depend on the number of entries (1 prize per 5 entries). Weekly top score tickets will be awarded for each age class/bow style represented. \nFor participants without personal equipment you may opt to use a rental bow on the Thursday League Nights (or if they are taking a class\, their class bow). \nLeague is open to anyone 8 and up. Previous archery experience required. \nSign up for all 10 weeks at once for $80 (20% discount for annual pass holders)\, or pay at the door for $10 per attendance. \nAGE CLASSES\nEach target station will have distance markers indicating where archers in different classes should shoot. The age classes are:\n• Cub (Under 12)\n• Youth (12-14)\n• Young Adult (15-17)\n• Adult (18+)\nAll archers will shoot from their specific yardage marker that will be marked and labeled at each target on the field course. All the distances are already measured\, marked and verified! \nFor our league – Longbow\, Traditional\, Barebow and Barebow Recurve shoot the same distances as Youth. Olympic Recurve shoots the distances as assigned for the age class they are registered in. \nThe maximum distances for each age division is as follows:\n• Cubs: 30 yards\n• Youth: 50 yards\n• Young Adult and Adult: 80 yards \nFIELD ROUND\nScoring is 5 for the spot\, 4 for the two white rings\, and 3 for the outside black rings. The X is counted as 5 points and used as a tiebreaker. \nEach archer shall shoot 4 arrows at each of the 14-target layouts in a unit. In 10 cases this shall mean shooting the four arrows from a single stake at a single target. In the other four it may mean either shooting one arrow from each of four stakes at a single target or it may mean shooting all four arrows from a single stake but at four separate targets\, or one arrow from each of four stakes at either two (2) or four (4) targets. \nFundamentals of a Field Round \nHUNTER ROUND\nScoring is 5 for the spot\, 4 for the center ring\, and 3 for the outer ring. The X is counted as 5 points and used as a tiebreaker. \nArchers will shoot 4 arrows at each of the 14 target layouts in a unit. In shooting the Hunter round the archer will observe the following shooting positions:\n• 1 marker – Shoot four arrows from the same stake.\n• 2 markers – Shoot two arrows from each stake.\n• 4 markers – Shoot one arrow from each stake. \nFundamentals of a Hunter Round \nANIMAL ROUND \nArchers will shoot a maximum of 3 marked arrows\, in successive order\, and the highest scoring arrow will count. In the case of walkup targets the first arrow must be shot from the farthest stake\, the second arrow from the middle stake\, and the third arrow from the nearest stake. \nScoring dots will NOT be used on animal targets. The maximum score for each animal round is 280 points. \nFundamentals of a Animal Round \nLEAGUE SCHEDULE\nWeek 1 – May 15: Field\nWeek 2 – May 22: Hunter\nWeek 3 – May 29: Animal\nWeek 4 – June 5: Field\nWeek 5 – June 12: Hunter\nWeek 6 – June 19: Animal\nWeek 7 – June 26: Field\nWeek 0 – July 3: No league\nWeek 8 – July 10: Hunter\nWeek 9 – July 17: Animal\nWeek 10 – July 24: Archers Choice – Final Week \nRULES\nAll rounds will follow NFAA rules as stated in the NFAA Constitution and By-Laws\, Article VI\, Sections A-C (pp 50-54).
