Dimensions for Flight Archery Field
« on: February 13, 2015, 10:06:18 am »
What size do we need ?
I know you are knida talking 50 yds by 400 yds   but we also need safety factors and such

The Fields around here are plenty big but there is a grass parking lot that may be big enough and we could use it most anytime not just when the crops are harvested
Guess I will go measure it and see what you all think
Thanks

  We have quite a few arrows that go left or right of center by 50 yards, we started setting up a center flag which has been a huge help in keeping arrows closer to the center but we still get flyers that go off by 50 yards or more either way.

    Do you plan on shooting regular flight or traditional flight? Or both?

Maybe both
Would love to put on an event soon as you folks are ready and can get me schooled up on how you want it done
The training will be the hard part
Mean while I will measure some areas up and do some shooting

Well the two grass areas I had in mind are bit short at just a little over 330 -340 yds then a fence that could interfere so next I will start approaching a farmer or two about wheat fields
How are the regs coming?

   I hit a bit of a stand still but should be back on them next week. I think we are pretty well set it is just my web sight building skills are not so good. The Reg flite rules and classes are prety well set but on the traditional classes I am debating withmyself over a few things. The only was I can see to accurately weigh and shoot a bow is to use a broadhead that will stop on the back of the bow or measure to where it falls off the shelf. Very few people will be pulling it that far back for safety reasons so I kind of hate to see them penalized by measuring that far back. I am thinking to the middle of the shelf might be the best compromise and those guys who pull it evey last fraction will just have a slight advanatge which they would have anyway if all bows are measured to the rear of the shelf but most are shooting well in front of that. It has to be non ambiguous and clear whatever we do.

What ever you decide will be fine as I have confidence in you to do what makes sense
As for web sites  have fun I am no help at all!! but could find you some if need be.
In fact Chris Gault is a web site builder and as far as I know he still checks in on the bow forum from time to time
Thanks again for all you are doing !!
