Rules
General Information
- The R100 is a family-friendly 3D archery circuit that works with clubs all across the country to host R100 events. All events will be the same format including two 50-target ranges (the Safari Range and the North American Range). On top of the 2 ranges, we also provide specialty shoots each day, which you can learn more about here.
- The max group size at the R100 is 6 shooters. If you are attending the event by yourself and would like to shoot with a group, you can ask to join others or ask the event coordinator to help you find a group. You will find that most archers are very friendly and always willing to join up with someone new!
- There are no assigned group start times or pairings. As long as the range is open, you can shoot when and with whomever you wish.
- Each range loop must be shot in order. For safety and courtesy reasons, please do not shoot targets in reverse order. If there is a way to safely go around a back-up and skip a target or two, you may do that. When you return to shoot the targets you skipped, please start from the beginning of the range. Always be aware of other shooters around you.
- Spectators are allowed on the range at no additional cost. Pets are welcome as well as long as they are people and pet-friendly. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times and please make sure to clean up any messes they may leave.
- Please respect the grounds and targets at the event. We want to leave the host clubs as clean as possible and respect their property as if it was our own. Please treat the targets with care and do not climb on any target as they are not built to withstand weight on top of them.
- In the event of inclement weather, we will shoot rain or shine. The only foreseeable circumstance that will result in closing the range is flooding or lightning. In the event of lightning, we will close the range until the storm passes and reopen as soon as we can confirm that it is safe to shoot. If we have to cancel due to flooding or other acts of nature, refunds will be issued accordingly.

If you pre-registered online, you will receive one additional ticket. Extra tickets are NOT available for purchase. Drawing held daily.
Awards
Top Finisher pins will be given for 1st – 5th place for each division on each range. These will be handed out Sunday with our 3:00pm door prize drawing.
We will also give out pins for shooters that shoot over 1000 points for the weekend. These can be picked up at any time. We do give point handicaps to the following divisions:
Hunter: 20 points
Traditional: 150 points
Youth/Cub: 250 points
To calculate if you have earned an R1000 point pin, add both range scores to your handicap. If that number is > 1000, you will receive a pin.
(Safari Range Score) + (North American Range Score) + (Handicap) = TOTAL
You must be present to collect all door prizes and awards, they will not be sent out after the event.
The Ten Commandments to Safely Enjoy Shooting at the R100
- Field points only. No broadheads or blunt tips.
- Alcohol on the range is strictly prohibited. This includes the practice range and specialty shoots.
- The max group size is 6 archers per group. Groups with 7 or more shooters will be asked to split up to help range flow.
- Please let smaller groups that are waiting for pass through to help range flow.
- Please avoid sky or side drawing to avoid sending errant arrows downrange.
- Please shoot from the correct stake for your class. If you would like to move up or down to a different division you can shoot the range from your desired stake and change your division when you complete the range.
- DO NOT shoot the fiberglass animals outside of the insert area. These animals are made of fiberglass and steel. Any arrows outside of the insert may result in damaged animals and on occasion a broken arrow.
- Be mindful of your surroundings when pulling arrows, wait for those around you to clear the area so that they do not get poked by a nock when arrows are being pulled.
- We strongly encourage that you bring a pair of boots in the event of inclement weather. Other great items to bring along include bug spray, sunscreen, water, a chair or stool, and rain gear.
- Please be honest about your scores and add your scores carefully. Remember to have fun but also remember that this is a friendly event and we want everyone to be fair and honest to their fellow competitors.
