How to score a Big Game round

By far the most popular round in the National Field Archery Society is the Big Game round. It is the one that is used at both the 3D championships in May and the paper face National champs in September.
It’s also the one that most clubs use as a basis for their open competitions.

The scoring of this can be confusing for new archers and a few years back I recorded a video explaining the scoring. I’ve updated this recently using the official NFAS faces.

I probably need to record one explaining the scoring on 3D targets at some point.

For reference below is the original version.

I hope you find these useful and if you have any questions then drop me a line. As always thanks for listening and supporting the site. Enjoy your archery

Episode 140 – 2026 with and thoughts on NFAS proposals and rant about bad tour operators

Welcome to the first podcast of 2026, crazy to think we are already in February. I hope 2026 is treating you well and any new year resolutions you made are still going well.

As always here is a link to the amazon music version

I will admit to having a bit of a rant at the start of this episode concerning the appalling service we have received from TUI airlines following our long flight delay when returning home. After everything that happened end of last year we decided to book a ski holiday, which was fantastic but the flight home was delayed for hours.

Anyway lets change the subject to more archery related. In the episode I  give my thoughts on the proposals that have been sent out to NFAS members for voting on this year concerning rule changes. Some of which I like others of which I am less keen on.

Let me know what you think.
