KEOWEE 3D COON SHOOT FORMAT/RULES

Coarse Setup: Ten 3D coon targets will be placed at unmarked distances. Targets that face you will have a reflective tack in both eyes. Targets that are positioned sideways will have a tack in only one eye. White stakes are set for traditional and youth shooters at a maximum distance of 20 yards. Orange stakes are set for all other shooters at a maximum distance of 30 yards.
Pee Wees, 7 and under, may shoot as close as they wish.

Teams: Teams will consist of archers of mixed classes based on sex, age, equipment and abilities. Shooters 7 and under must be accompanied by their guardian and their score will not be included in the team score. Registration will begin at approximately an hour before dark and drawing for teams at just prior to dark. Team size will be determined according to the total number of shooters. In the case of teams with an extra shooter, the team average score will be deducted from the team total or if a team is short one shooter, the team average will be added to the team total. A shotgun start will begin as soon as appropriate darkness is achieved. We will draw new teams for each shoot.

Fee: For shooters 8 and older the shoot fee is $5 per person. Shooters 7 and under shoot free.

Lights: The club will provide one flashlight per team, which will be the only light allowed illuminated while anyone on your team is shooting. Personal lights may be used when no shooting is taking place. (please return club flashlights to registration table after tournament completion) Glow-in-the-dark light sticks will be positioned near each orange stake .

Optional Money pot: $5 per person. The money pot payout will be 100% and go to individual high score shooters. The number of places paid is based on number of participating shooters:

> 30 shooters = 4 places; 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%
20 - 29 shooters = 3 places; 50%, 30%, 20%
10 - 19 shooters = 2 places; 60%, 40%
2 - 9 shooters = 1 place; 100%

The prize money will be awarded the night of the tournament after all score cards are turned in.

Ties: Tie scores will be broken by first points lost starting from the top of the scorecard, regardless of your starting target.

Awards: The Keowee Coon shooters pin award will be presented to; each winning team member, the overall high score winner and the youth high score winner.

Note: For Keowee Bowmen members only, we will keep the individual scores from each coon shoot during the year to use in determining the "KEOWEE COON SHOOTER OF THE YEAR" award presented at the annual Bowhunters Banquet. (The lowest score or one no-score will be dropped from the calculation). Coon shoot points will also be included in our other “ARCHER OF THE YEAR” award calculations
