with 2-1/2 minutes allowed for each end to be shot.

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),

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.
