*******Please no cheating. I am very limited in how I can regulate cheating. Please know that this league is supposed to be fun and that I really hope to introduce new people to the sport of target archery with this league. Cheating will cause others to become discouraged and not participate and you will be directly affecting everyone involved by doing this. This is all I will say on this, so please use your conscious when submitting those scores. I have no doubt that we are all mature enough here to follow this to a T.[/b][/align][/ul]
[/b]


So in short:

- 45 arrows
- 3 arrows per end
- 15 ends per game
- 450 is a perfect score
- Distance of 20 yards (measured)
- 7 weeks total
- Drop your lowest score
- No handicaps
- You must have fun. No exceptions, if you can't do this don't sign up. [8D][/b][/ul]

Looks good Matt...Thanks for the work you and Don put into this each winter.

[Matt/TN]

Sounds good Matt. I was hoping for 30 arrows, they are easier and less timely . It should be a blast though!

[whitetailbowhunter]

OK just want to clarify a few things. Can you shoot 45 arrows per week or per day? And are these target ok or not? Ok so i'm not able to upload any pictures i will try again later. But these are the one that have three target faces staked one top of each other in a strait line. The scoring is 10x, 10, 9, 8,7,6 like the picture you posted. And i don't understand you score board.

And we won't be your friends if you do cheat, and nobody wants that. Matt turns into the evil twin....That's just no good for everybody.

No, seriously.....There is really just no way to regulate this. Even if we ask for a photo of the target, all someone has to do is take an arrow and punch holes in the target. If your desire to win is that strong, go somewhere else. I just don't want that type of person involved.

With that said.....This is gonna be fun, and I can't wait for Matt to take us all to school. Sure am glad I'm not in the same class as he.....

Mat

Yep, that's a Vegas face. Unless Matt knows something I don't (obviously he does) that target is perfectly acceptable.

[whitetailbowhunter]

OK great! And can you explain the score board for me pls? and it's 45 per day or week?

Mat

[mobow]

Not sure what you need to know about the scoreboard.....But you must shoot all 45 arrows same day. I don't think it matters how long it takes, but you can't drag it out all week.

Scoring is pretty simple. 15 ends of 3 arrows, score the ring you hit.

[whitetailbowhunter]

Ok. The thing i don't understand is this.
30 - 2x 28 - 1x 28 - 2x
29 - 1x 30 - 3x 29 - 0x
28 - 1x 27 - 0x 30 - 1x
30 - 3x 29 - 2x 27 - 1x
29 - 2x 30 - 1x 30 - 3x
__________ _________ _________
146 - 10x 144 - 6x 144 - 7x

Total - 434 - 23x
And can you shoot 45 arrows every day and put them in your score? I know i'm asking alot of questions but i to do it right!


Mat

[mobow]

Ok....you shoot 3 arrows per end, for a total POSSIBLE score of 30. 3X10=30

Shoot 3 arrows, add score of those 3. Shoot 3 more, add score of those 3. Do that 15 times, add the total, and voila.

The 30 - 3X indicates one end of 3 arrows. Or 28 - 3X, whatever you shoot each end of 3.

A perfect score is 450, w/ 45X. Because, 30X15=450. 30 being a perfect end of 3 arrows, done 15 times is 450.

You can shoot as many rounds of 45 arrows each week you want, but only turn in 1 score each week. The score turned in MUST be shot that week.
