3D Field Range

This is where the fun starts! On this range the gradient of the ground is variable, "dead ground" is plentiful, there are lots of light illusions, there are many obstacles and the ranges are not marked. It should really be called "Multi dimensional range" but we will stick with convention on this one. Welcome to the "3 Dimensional Field range". It is a great place to…

1. Compete with yourself or friends

2. Relax

3. Have fun

4. Enjoy the views

5. Break and lose arrows

 

The 3D range comprises forty targets cunningly set up in several acres of woods and fields. These are life sized model animals. Some are small, like the Owl and Stoat, some are big like the Bears! Each target has a Kill Zone. Hits inside the Kill Zone are classified as K-Kill (Catastrophic Kill). Hits outside the Kill Zone are classified as M-Kill (Mobility Kill). Target ranges are between 10m and 90m.

The Game

Each target has a set of associated shooting positions that you will see on approach to the target. The Silver pegs are for the Jedi, Stripy pegs for Competition starts, Red pegs for the experienced, White pegs are a bit easier, Blue pegs are for new archers using hire equipment and finally the Yellow pegs are for young children, though I have witnessed Sir Lee miss one once ;0)

As a group decide on what colour peg to start on. Red is a good one for most. With one foot on the peg, each archer shoots just one arrow at the target. If an archer has missed the target then they repeat the shot from the next peg down. This way every single shot is different and presents its own challenges. Once everyone has either shot the target or expended three arrows move on to the next target and repeat from the group's starting peg. Only one arrow per archer on each target counts towards the score. Score cards can be found in the office.

 

Scoring is as follows:

First arrow	Second arrow	Third arrow
20 - K-Kill	14 - K-Kill	8 - K-Kill
16 - M-Kill	10 - M-Kill	4 - M-Kill
