A Field tournament is comprised of two ranges, a field and a hunter. Each range has 14 targets with 4 arrows shot at each target. The maximum value per target is 20 points. Each arrow has a max value of 5 points. Ex: 4 arrows x 5=20. 20 points x 28 targets = 560 total points per day. The field range has marked distances from 20 feet to 80 yards. All distances are divisible by the
five (5). Ex: 20, 35, 60, 15. There is no particular order to the targets. The first target can be at 40 yards and the second can be at 15 (feet or yards) and so on. The maximum distance is 80 yards. The hunter range is also marked but the distances are not necessarily divisible by five (5). Ex: 32, 26, 44, 11 yards. The maximum distance on the hunter side is 70 yards. Each target is marked and indicates how the target is to be shot. There are four (4) different ways to shoot targets. Standard, Walkup, Fans and Birdies
Standard, competitors shoot all 4 arrows from the same spot.
Walk-ups, competitors shoot one arrow at each target. Ex: The 80 yard target is a walk- up. Competitors shoot one arrow at 80, 70, 60 and 50.
