I am totally new to this. Where can I find the rules to what kind of gear you shoot in each class, and a few tips on what to do.

Here is a link to the page on our website that has the LSBA rules. We use LSBA yardages and stakes. When you register for the shoot, ask Sara (she'll be handling registration) or George to group you with someone who is familiar with the rules and they will be more than happy to give you pointers. You may have to ask them to stop after a while, lol. Some folks like talking archery non-stop!

If you don't see the info you need, please send me a message and I'll try to answer any questions.

Targets will be scored as follows:

12 points – Small circle within the 10 ring
10 points – Circle inside the vital area
8 points - The vital area other than the 10 or 12 ring
5 points - The remainder of the animal touching body color, including hoof.
0 points - A miss or an arrow stuck in the horn

To score points, the arrow must be stuck in the target except for the Mini-cub class and for pass-throughs that are witnessed. These arrows are to be scored as agreed by the group or shot over. No glance offs will be scored, unless the hit is in a scoring section and witnessed. (Some targets have hard spots, inserts, pipes, etc that may cause an arrow to bounce from the scoring area of a target)

An arrow shaft touching a line, receives the higher score.

An arrow that renders an arrow already shot in a target unshootable will receive the score of the original arrow in the target.

Targets are to be scored by both scorers before arrows can be pulled. If an arrow is pulled before it is scored, it counts as 0 points.

Only one arrow per archer shot at each target will be allowed.

Targets are to be set at unknown distances with the vital areas open and targets
distinguishable. Maximum yardages are to be set absolutely no longer than stated in the 2008 L.S.B.A. 3D Class Descriptions (handouts available)

The shoot will consist of a mixture of 30 3D targets of various sizes.

All L.S.B.A. sanctioned shoots will have three (3) shooting stakes. The stakes and classes are as follows:

RED STAKE: (50 yard max)
Male Bowhunter Open (MBO)
Female Bowhunter Open (FBO)

BLUE STAKE: (25 yard max)
Male Longbow (MLB) Female Longbow (FLB)
Male Recurve (MR) Female Recurve (MR)
Teen Traditional (TT) Youth Traditional (YT)
Youth Compound (YC)

WHITE STAKE: (35 yard max)
Male Bowhunter (MB)
Female Bowhunter (FB)
Male Bowhunter Novice (MBN)
Teen Compound (TC)

MINI-CUBS may shoot from anywhere.



The shooter's age, as of January 1st of that shooting year, qualifies a shooter for the classes of Mini-Cub, Youth, Teen. If your birthday comes in the middle of the year, you do not have to move up to the next class.

The shooter must touch the stake with some portion of their body while making the shot.

The furthest stake from the target are to be shot first unless directed differently by range official. No shooter can walk between the stake and the target before shooting.

Any obstacle that can be touched from the stake can be removed by the shooter.



A shooting session may be interrupted for a maximum time limit of THIRTY (30) minutes for replacement or repair of faulty equipment. All equipment failures shall be reported to a range or shoot official. After equipment repair has been made, the shooter will return to his/her own group to shoot the remaining targets. Any missed targets will then be shot with a range official.

If a shooter has any questions on shooting stake color, equipment or class they should be in, please ask before registering and starting on the range.



Clickers, Fine Line Type sights, and levels are all permissible.

For Traditional Equipment, any string walkers with marks on the string will be considered as aided. Markings on tabs, gloves, bow sight window, or string will not be permissible. At least one finger must be touching the nock while at full draw.

Fixed pins are defined as points on the bow, set at predetermined distances that are not allowed to be moved up or down while on the range. Competitors in “Fixed Pin” classes may make one “gang adjustment” of their sight during competition without calling a breakdown. The adjustment may be made following a shot, and prior to proceeding to the next target, under the following procedure: (1) inform the group, (2) make the adjustment to the whole pin set in front of the group. Individual pins may not be adjusted.

Overdraws are legal in all classes.

All sights, stabilizers, and v-bars must not extend more than thirty (30) inches from the forward edge of the bow, at the point of attachment, in all classes except Open Classes.


Binoculars and cameras will be allowed on the course. Any type of range finder, whether used or not, will be grounds for disqualification.

There will be no discussion of yardage before all arrows have been scored.






No sky pulling is allowed. Please draw your bow level or pointing at the ground. A second warning will mean disqualification from the tournament.

Absolutely no alcoholic beverages are allowed on the range or to be consumed prior to the shoot.



Mini-Cubs may shoot from anywhere on the shooting lane. Mini-Cubs will receive awards at all shoots.

You must have fun!!!
