For those of you that are unfamiliar with 3-D here is a small synopsis.

3-D shooting involves a realistically designed course placed in a natural, wooded setting, where life-sized foam targets including deer, bear, turkeys, javelina, and other animals are situated. The targets are marked with the animal's vital areas, and shooters can practice "picking a spot" at which to shoot.

There are 5 scoring rings Marked on the target. 5 points is anywhere on the animal. 8 is largest ring. 10 inside of the 8. and two different  12 rings inside of the 10 ring. The lower 12 is what we call the Saturday 12 or first round 12 located in the bottom of the 10 ring. It is shot during the first round only when you have to judge the distance to the target.  The second Sunday 12 is located high in the 10 ring it is shot only on the second or known range round. There is also a 14 ring located outside of the 10 most vital area for either the more experienced or the low man to try and make up points. Like actual hunting, but unlike other archery competitions, distances to targets are unknown but only for the first round in our competitions.
