Official Rules & Conduct

FORMAT

  • 3D NASP/IBO rules

SCORING

  • Be sure your archers know how to score their arrows. A scoring machine is used to tabulate the final score. Scorecards must NOT have any additional marks or the machine will not read it. We will be scoring the NASP method which is 10-9-8 from smallest to largest circle.
  • The animal body scores 7 points. Zero points for hooves and horns. Five arrows will be shot for practice followed by shooting 5 arrows at each of the 6 animals. The closest target will be 10 yards and the farthest will be 15 yards.

EQUIPMENT

  • Bring your own bows and arrows.

RESULTS

  • We are currently working with arrowscores.com to post all individual scores and team scores online.

JUDGES

  • All Judges/Officials decisions are final.
