Competition and Shooting Rules

Reason for rule change at this point in time:

To allow for a more flexible Target Butt for Sporting Crossbows the TC have modified the rules with regards the dimensions of the butts used at Target, Bench / Prone and Forest Round Tournaments. It is now also permissible for relevant sized 3D animal targets to be used in place of paper faces in the Forest Round should the Organising Committee so desire.   Please refer to the relevant sections in the shooting rules.

The Indoor Target Records had a typographical error, an incorrect size face listed. A record was listed for a 60cm face at 25m, there is no such round listed in the Indoor Rules. The records have been amended to a 40cm face at 25m as per the Indoor Rules.
