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
In my latest podcast I provide a quick update on what has been going on over the past couple of weeks, including appearing in both Bow International magazine in a contributor’s sections and the official National field Archery Society members magazine, as the author of an article on encouraging children into the sport.
In the second half of the episode I launch into the coaching content of the episode where I explain a technique I’ve used myself and have coached other archers with. It is surprisingly straight forward and can help build confidence in distance judgement and overall shooting. It revolves round the basic idea of shooting 2 arrows, the goal to have them both land the prime spot of the target. It sounds simple but I go into a more detailed explanation in the episode, outlining how it can build confidence and factors to consider concerning consistencies etc.
As I’ve mentioned before I can embed Spotify material on this site but for those of you who use amazon music I can only provide a link.
