necessary, each end will consist of one set of three arrows
with 2-1/2 minutes allowed for each end to be shot. Three or

SPORT RULES
1. All archery events will be conducted in accordance with NAA
(National Archery Association), NFAA (National Field Archery
Association) and FAA (Florida Archery Association) rules,
except as modified.
2. ‘X’ ring hits will be kept on the scorecard by all competitors
and will be used as a tiebreaker. If still tied, the number of
‘10’ ring hits will be used, then ‘9’ ring hits, and so on until
the tie is broken.
3. Whistle system: 2 = go to line, 1 = shoot, 3 = advance to
score, 4 or more = emergency stop.
4. Should equipment failure occur, a 30-minute repair time
will be allowed with no disruption of the shooting line. A
maximum of two ends may be made up at the discretion of
the Director of Shooting.
5. Field glasses or scopes are permitted for spotting arrow hits.
Scopes may be placed on the shooting line provided they do
not disrupt the shooting of the adjacent archer. Scopes shall
be removed from the line between ends if not utilized by the
other archer shooting in that space.
6. No broadheads will be permitted.
7. Regulation FITA 122-centimeter (48-inch) five-color target
faces will be used. Scoring values are: Gold (10-9), Red (8-7),
Blue (6-5), Black (4-3), White (2-1), 10-ring scoring. At the
discretion of the Director of Shooting, replacement centers
may be used to repair a target face during competition.
8. Dividing lines are part of the higher scoring ring. The arrow
shaft must only touch the color or dividing line between
scoring zones to score the high value.
9. Targets will NOT be marked for hits. A witnessed bounce out
or pass through will be shot over. If an arrow countersinks or
destroys another arrow in the target and then bounces back,
that arrow shall count the score of the arrow it destroyed.
10. Two archers at each target will keep the double set of
scorecards. Scores shall be compared after each end. If the
scorecards do not agree after arrows have been removed
from the target, then the lower score shall be the official
score. The winner in each style/age group shall be the archer
scoring the highest number of points in the single 900 round.
11. Archers will not be required to wear white or blue attire,
however, they will be expected to wear clothing appropriate
for a state championships event.
