*Rules for
William Tell Archery Competition
1.) The tournament will consist of Royal
Rounds only.
2.) If you are entering the William Tell
Shoot, you must shoot in two different classes. Your choice of classes will be open
class (Recurve only), longbow class (either 1 or 2), or cross bow.
These classes include the period version of each class. The highest
of your rounds in each of the two classes you shoot will be added
together. The overall
winner will be the person with the highest total score for two
rounds.
3.) The winners of each division will be
decided by their highest single Royal round shot.
4.) You must use your highest attained
ranking in any weapon style (i.e. – You are a Master Bowman in open
class and an archer in crossbow. You would be scored as a Master Bowman
for this competition).
#Rules for the Adult/Child
Archery Contest
1. The adult asks the child to shoot as
their partner.
2. Each team of archers will begin with 6
arrows.
3. The contest
will begin with the children shooting at 10 yards and the adults
shooting the remaining arrows at 20 yards. A second round will be shot at 15 and
30 yards respectively, etc.
4. The contest
will be a ring shoot based on the Adult’s Archery Rank and the
Child’s Division.
5. Junior Children
just need to hit anywhere on the paper. Senior Children must hit a scoring
shot within the White Ring or better. Adults must hit as follows: Novice and
Tyro Archers need to hit white ring or better; Archers must hit
black or better; Bowmen must hit blue or better; Master Bowmen must
hit red or better; and Grand Master and Ludicrous Bowmen must hit
Gold. Your partner will get
to shoot an arrow for every arrow that was a scoring shot. The
contest will begin with the child shooting 6 arrows and then the
adult shooting a number of arrows based on their partner’s scoring
shots. They will continue alternating this way until one team has
any arrows remaining at the end of a round. The remaining team will be declared
the winner.
