Gentlemen & Ladies, ... I realize that this may seem a bit early, but I have been considering sponsoring a new archery competition at Pennsic. Last year one...
Gladius, First let me say I am very happy that the Pennsic archery community is taking action to make Pennsic archery more exciting. No hit on those who have...
I was at an event outside of Houston, back in Sept., and part of their archery competition was a clout shoot made up as a giant five ring target. They used...
Christophe, ... You bring up a good point. We already have a day set aside for the champions shoot. Perhaps this prize shoot can be made open to everyone...
I am inserting comments below. The idea is to keep things simple and to involve as many as possible, as I understand it. A simple hit or miss butt would also...
If you want to avoid any math, try using the closest arrow/bolt to the center is the winner. This just requires a roundel/circle of whatever size and at...
Jon, ... Hmmmm? Okay, we set up a saunders matt at say 40 yards and let everyone shoot 3 arrows. We then let people glean all of the arrows off of the...

Sounds like fun. ... What about pass-throughs? Will the target have some type of central aiming point or will it just be a blank face? ... If an archer does...
Jon, ... It's a good thing I posted this to the group. You brought up a number of issues I hadn't addressed. I was thinking in terms of a saunders matt and...
If you run out of space to move the target and you have tie scores at that point, you can have the next end at the same distance and the archer closest to the...
... We did a combination of these last year as a fundraiser. 3 arrows, and the target moves back. Any arrows that missed the target were lost for future...
Hobbe, ... It may be possible to move the people back, if the parallel ranges are closed at that time. I expect to use the existing gates, but until the new...
Sounds good. Sounds simple. I've seen a similar thing done before. But you need to move everyone back (or the target back) at each phase. Else you can be...
Kelly, ... That's it in a nutshell. The rest is all legal mumbo jumbo. ... Jim Koch "Gladius The Alchemist" ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
