Hunting Archery Challenge
  1. Archery Challenge: Participants will walk through a field archery course in a natural setting. The course is designed to simulate shooting situations encountered while bow hunting.

  2. The Archery Challenge will be conducted with the participants taking shots at life-size game targets (3-D) varying in distance from 5 to 30 yards with scoring areas directly over the vital areas of the game.

  3. Each participant will shoot a total of 15 shots each worth 20 points if inside the vital area, or zero points if outside the vital area. All shots must break the vital area line to be counted as a vital "hit." Challenges must be made on the range before the next arrow is pulled. The Archery Challenge has the possibility of 300 points.

  4. Bow and arrows will be supplied by the sponsor. Shooters may use only one bow for this activity except in the case of malfunction. Only target or field point arrows will be permitted and will be provided.

  5. The following equipment will be used for the Hunting Archery Challenge:

    • Recurve bows, 10# - 35# draw weight, with no sights;
    • Aluminum shafted arrows with field or target points;
    • Arm guards and finger tabs or gloves provided
      - (participants may bring their own);
    • No mechanical releases will be permitted or provided.
