Official rounds of the Florida Archery Association

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.  EVENTUALLY ALL OF OUR ROUNDS WILL BE HERE IN DETAIL.

Rounds are ordered by the typical seasons that FAA shoots.  State Championships are usually held Indoor (both)  (last weekend in January, first two weekends in February unless it is being held with the Sectional), International (just moved to November - too many shoots in April), Metric Field (late August), Field (Memorial Day weekend), Sunshine State Games (June),  Florida 1440 (September), Target (900)  (October) and 3 Marked 3-D (January, March, April).

 
Indoor Round.

1.The standard round shall consist of the 60 arrows shot at 20 yds in 12 ends of 5 arrows each with your target face being moved from top to bottom and from bottom to top right after the sixth end.  The archers shooting the lower target shoot first.  Archers have 4 minutes to shot 5 arrows (any arrows not shot in the allotted time period are counted as missed).

2The Indoor target is blue with a white spot.  The archer has a choice of two different faces when shooting the Indoor round.  You may select a Five spot face or a single spot face.  Once an archer has selected a target face they may not change to the other type during that round.  The five spot face contains only the spot, five ring and four ring.  Any arrow not in a scoring area is counted as a miss.  The single spot contains scoring for the spot, five, four three, two and one.


  18M /Metric Indoor Round.
1.  FAA currently shoots a Fita I consisting of 60 arrows shot at 18 meters.
2.  There are 20 ends of 3 arrows each shot in two minutes.
3.  600 is a perfect score.
4.  Targets are scored 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.  Compound shooters use the "x" ring for a 10 ring and the rest of the gold is scored as a 9.   Recurve shooters use the two inner rings as a 10 and the outer gold ring as a 9.
5.  Archer has a choice of shooting a single spot or a three spot multicolor face.

6. Archer may not change face once scoring has comenced

Metric Feld Round
1.  FAA shoots a Fita Field Round of 24 targets.

2. 12 are marked distances:  Three targets each 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, and 80cm size faces:

    60cm face:    BB = 30, 35, 40  --  Oly & Cd = 35, 40, 45

    80cm face:    BB = 40, 45, 50  --  Oly & Cd = 50, 55, 60

3. 12 are unmarked with the distance to the target being in the range of the distances permited for the size of the target face.

.  Three unmarked targets for each size face with shots that are either single stake or walk ups.  These three targets for each size face are suppose to be short, medium and long within the distance spread.

    20cm face:    BB = 5 to 10 meters  --  Oly & Cd = 10 to 15 meters
    40cm face:    BB = 10 to 20  --  Oly & Cd = 15 to 25

    60cm face:    BB = 15 to 30  --  Oly & Cd = 20 to 35

    80cm face:    BB = 30 to 45  --  Oly & Cd = 35 to 55

4.  There are three arrows shot per target scored 6,5,4,3,2,1.
