Butch, 80 yards is distance that is required for NFAA. After you do it a few times you get a feel for it. One thing for sure it will show a flaw in your form.
There can be 28 targets one after the other, or you can have a 14 target
course and shoot it twice to make the round. Each 14 target unit has the same shots, but not necessarily in the same order, on a 28 target field course. You shoot four arrows at each target, so you shoot a total of 112 arrows per field and hunter rounds. Some of the shooting positions let you shoot all four arrows from one marked stake; some shooting positions have stakes at four different positions where you walk toward the target on each shot, or in a fan position. The distances vary according to the round you are shooting. The standard NFAA field round has distances that vary from 20 feet to 240 feet. There are four different size faces, the further the target, the bigger the target. "Hey," you say, "I don't shoot at deer that are 80 yards away." No, neither do the rest of us. The idea is that it teaches you to aim at a spot and will make a better all around archer out of you.
The course is set up like a golf course, its alot of fun. The guy that owns the local bow shop is a national champ. He stacks them at 80. What's wierd is waiting for the arrow to hit at long distances.
