[Archers] New Archery Rule Change

[Greg Christensen]

Anybody have a diagram of this.... ??????  Not all ranges or should I say very few ranges have 100 yards from all points on the shooting line.  Does that mean that 100 yards front, back, to the sides, up and down.  Also I am sorry, I can take a 25# bow and shoot 120 yards, so might as well kill all archery.

Subject: [Archers] New Archery Rule Change






Greetings everyone. I have received a few emails about the rule change for archery that came out a while ago.  I just wanted to make sure everyone was first, aware of the new rule, and secondly, understands the new rule.  This e-list is a good place to discuss the issue and make sure we are all on the same page, since I've heard more than one interpretation of the new rule.


 


This is also a good time for us to review the event sites we typically use and make sure the archery ranges are usable under the rule change, and whether or not they will need a waiver from the Deputy Earl Marshal for Target Archery. Remember that this needs to be done well in advance of the event.


 


Tawk amongst ya selves.

MODIFICATION :

3.9.3.2.2 At a minimum, each shooting station will have a safety zone that

extends 30 degrees from each end of the shooting line to a line even with

the furthest target, or 50 yards, whichever is closer. The safety zone will

then extend 100 yards from all points on the shooting line, or half the

distance from the shooting line to a line parallel to the farthest target,

whichever is greater. A larger safety zone is recommended if possible.



A waiver may be requested for shorter ranges provided there is a physical

barrier, which will stop arrows. This waiver must be requested in writing

from the DEM-Target Archery only and approval must be received in writing

and retained by the Marshal in charge at the site. The DEM-Target Archery

may provide restrictions in order to use the modified range, such as

restricting bow type and poundage.



NEW POLICY NUMBER:

3.8.3.2.5 The MIC-Target Archery will design the range with safety being the

primary concern. Range design will account for control of the shooters,

visibility of the range and the surrounding area, site layout and foot and

vehicle traffic patterns.
