Archery

Archery

This is one of the four shooting events. Targets are typically 3D silhouettes of game animals placed in a natural settings at various distances. The Hunting Archery Challenge has the maximum possibility of 300 points.

Key Points

	The Hunting Archery Challenge will be conducted with participants taking shots at targets varying in distance from 10 to 40 yards. Targets will be either NRA Life-size Game Targets or 3‑D game targets with scoring areas directly over the vital areas of the animal. NOTE: A time limit of 45 seconds will be applied at each station.
	Participants will move through a 15 to 30 point field archery course in a natural setting. The course is designed to simulate shooting situations encountered while bow hunting.
	Each participant will shoot a total of 30 shots, each worth 10 points if inside the inner most scoring ring, 5 points for the outer most scoring ring (vital area), and 3 points for outside the vital area. All shots breaking or touching the vital area will be counted as a "hit." Challenges must be made on the range before the next arrow is pulled. All arrows must have either glue on or screw in target or field points.
	All bows allowed but compounds will deliver best accuracy
	Use flashcards to learn hitting areas
	Broad-heads prohibited in the YHEC program.
	Shooters may use only one bow for this activity (exception - bow malfunction).

... a word of wisdom

	Practice, practice, practice. Archery is the most technical of all shooting events. You must have a properly tuned up bow and a lot of arrows in your quiver.
	Assessing the distance of your target is essential. Practice.
