Central Florida 3-D Circuit

Our Circuit

Robin and I started this Circuit so Florida shooters could have a tournament to attend approximately 1 week before an ASA tournament. We try and have a good time help all shooters in their quest for better scores and make friends of the competitors here in Florida. If you have any questions please ask us either by email or directly. Shoot safe and have fun. 

Rules for 2008

Rules:
Here are the rules we will shoot by in the Circuit;
They are Modified ASA rules please read:

for complete ASA rules please visit : http://www.asaarchery.com/proamrules.htm 

 

1.   ASA rules apply in most ranges, scoring, participation and equipment. All ranges should be within 10% of what you shoot in your class in ASA.

2.   To be eligible for the Circuit Championship in 2008, you must physically shoot 2 shoots and you must pay for all 6 plus the Championship. You can miss four shoots and we have at least 1 shoot scheduled on a Sunday . You must pay for all six plus the Championship. Any shoot that was rained out and you were in attendance will be counted as a completed shoot for the championship.

 

If you know that  you are going to miss any shoot , we ask that you please pay prior for the shoot that you intend not to attend for bookkeeping reasons.

3.                                                        3.   Start time will be 9:00 am.                  15 targets only no double point targets (horn) shotgun start 3 1/2 hours till (horn) lunch break(1 hour from last shooter) then 15 more in the afternoon 3 1/2 hours finish ALL Shooting Starts And Stops with Horn!!!

If you are late, targets you miss you cannot make up.  Although any points scored though will be added to shooter of the year totals.

. You can have a breakdown of 45 minutes with make up during any or both rounds. See Buster or Robin.

IN 2008  15-target total for each round unless the crowd requires a 20 target field 

Weather permitting any shoot deemed hazardous or unwise will be terminated by Circuit officials or hosting club officials with the score from the number of targets completed from any prior round being the official score. If no round was completed then the monies collected will be returned to all in attendance with valid score cards.

4. $25 dollar entry fee in 2008 will include the new Shooter of the Year money class!! All classes from intermediate to pro will be accumulating points for every shoot and the most points wins SOY jackpot per class. If you change classes your points do not move with you so stay in the class you intend to shoot .



· Children 11 and under shoot free, .  (no Payback) awards only.

5. Dates for shoots will coincide with ASA and TBoF dates as not to be held at same time. We are the only ASA style 3d circuit in the state of Florida and therefore WE will schedule our shoots to be as close to ASA Pro-AM events that happen so if it happens to fall on a NFAA date we are sorry but we will not change the date of our shoot The ASA dates are already set and we will try to have our schedule posted to try and miss other dates but this is near impossible!

 All Shooter of the year awards are based on total points scored during the year and any shooter forced to move during the year by ASA will not have to move in the circuit until the following year.

6. Classes: 

 Though we try and keep up with changes in the ASA it is hard to have every class so in the interest of making the payouts larger we have combined some classes that shoot from the same stake. In the last 5 years of this event the number of participants has grown and as such we feel in order to attract more participants per class we need to have more of a class separation. So beginning at the first shoot this year we will offer the following changes in class participation;

   Since this is an amateur shoot we must insist that ASA pro and semi pro participants be they Men or Women, have their own class though it be small all ranges could be off by as much as 10% though we try and keep them below or around the maximum it is possible for the range to be over so keep this in mind. Some changes for 2008 will now separate classes as follows:

Open PRO will consist of all shooters in the pro and semi pro classes class and now  the Men's Unlimited class. Any shooters that have shot in this top class will be required to stay in this class.  Ranges of approximately 50 yards. All RANGES UNKNOWN !!!

Although the ASA new rules say unknown for both days we will let all classes  use their rangefinders on the second round.

 
 OPEN  will consist of shooters in the Open  A and be combined with the shooters from  Open B ,  classes only with ranges of approximately  45 yards: 

 

  Open C class  .They will shoot from ranges of approximately 40 yards. All shooters wanting to participate in this class must shoot this class for the 2008 season. Any women open shooters wishing to compete (since the more shooters the more money paid back) in this class are also welcome but must remain in the class for the season. 

 

Senior Class shoots from white stake out to 45 yards  this class is available for shooters over 50 but under 60 please note that this may be a small class and if you sign up for this class and later change your mind and wish to shoot in the more popular Open class your points will not travel with you if you change classes for Shooter of the year money.

Super Senior  shoots from the red stake ranges out to 40 yards  for shooters over 60 as in the senior class this class may be quite small and it is you option to shoot with the Open C shooters to form a larger class for more payout money and Shooter of the Year Jackpot. As in the senior class if you shoot this class and later decide to change to the larger Open C class your points for Shooter of the year will not travel with you.

 MEN'S Hunter  (open to men and women) will be fixed pins,12 inch stabilizer, magnification and 280 fps of approximately 40 yards: Standard ASA Hunter

  Although ASA now lets classes under 30 yards use rangefinders they can only be used in the second round in the circuit.

  Men’s Hunter Intermediate. Which was and will be the same equipment as bow novice. It will be 30 yards max. This class is for all those bow novice previous winners from 2003 and 2004,2005, and 2006 that have no desire to move up in class to open or hunter. Any one who won any money in bow novice must shoot this class or move up. This class grows every year and still leaves room for the true novice.

 Bow Hunter Novice will be fixed pins no magnification and of approximately 30 yards ASA standard Bow Novice . 

This class is for the true novice having won no monies in the circuit. Once money has been won in this class the shooter must move up to intermediate or higher classes. There is no novice class in the championship. No shooter of the year plaque for bow novice. If you wish to shoot for shooter of the year you must be in the intermediate class and up to receive the award.

 

All Shooter of the year awards are based on total points scored during the year.

Recreational Shooters are welcome at every event with a charge of $15, $5 going to the sponsoring Club, per shooter the remainder going to the general circuit fund.

 

Hosting club will be responsible for

A.   Setting up targets and lanes, in a manner that will be safe for all shooters. Any targets that deem illegal, will be thrown out and counted as a zero for each shooter. At the end of the shoot we will not give out any prize monies until all ranges have been cleared of targets to the satisfaction of the hosting club. Hosting club is required to set up 2 separate 15 target ranges As we some times have had over 100 shooters this is now a requirement.

Other grievances about targets or lanes, is the hosting clubs responsibility.

Also please try to use lanes that do not have field round range markers. This may be difficult. WE are most concerned on this matter for the club that is going to host the Circuit Championship.

B.   Needs to provide water on the ranges. Host clubs can Offer drinks, lunch, or snacks at their prices

 

C. All hosting clubs are rented for the day by the Circuit: 

      Only shooters participating in the circuit will be allowed to shoot that day at any club hosting a shoot.  Shooting of target butts or other non 3-D targets excluded.

     However if the club hosting the event would like to forfeit any circuit funds ,they may allow any shooters they like, so far as it does not interfere with the circuit shoot.

     If a shoot must be cancelled due to in climate weather and no first round can be completed then all monies will be returned to the archers present, with paid a scorecard. In the event of a fully rained out event the Circuit will pay the hosting club a $100 Rain Check fee for target setup and target takedown.
