Well it depends on who set it up. If it's a general rove with lots of light weight bows the average will be a about 170yds with most between 80 and 200 but sometimes some very short ones. If its a warbow rove the average will be about 210yds with most between 120 and upto about an eye popping 300yds. It's good fun and yes you loose a lot of arrows!

YewArcher:
 :D Thats great!!

Most shoots here in the USA are geared more towards hunting distances. Folks complain at shots past 30 yards. I am gonna try and change that though by becoming more active with my war bows. Thanks for the info. I may need to pic your brain a bit more on some good shot ideas if I can get some guys together to start shooting with me.

YewArcher, Your bows look real good, and having youth on your side is a big help when pulling the heavier weights. I like that full draw shot!
