Summer camp scheduling!
In the outdoor season of archery, several tournaments are coming up. Some are “900 rounds” and some are “FITA rounds”.
There is a 900 round on Saturday at Conyers at 7 pm: Night the Lights came on in Georgia Registration
Whats a 900 round?
What’s a FITA round?
The 5 color (gold,red,blue,black,white) target is used for both and is scored 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
For our program Sunday , seasoned archers with "red and better” at the furthest distance in their division, (noted below) or if using their own arrows, may participate in a short version of a 900 round. We will be shooting a total of 36 arrows at 3 distances: 2 rounds of 6 arrows(total of 12) at each distance. We will be shooting YARDs not meters.
A 900 round is a common, short, 1 day tournament.
Fundamentals of a "900" round.
A 900 round distance is set in either meters or yards, so double check entry specifications when registering and for practicing.
The basics: 3 distances, based on age, shot at a122cm face for all. Typically 5 ends of 6 arrows each distance, total 90 arrows, so a perfect score is 900.
