We divide the traditional competitions and the historical competitions.
An ETO (European Traditional Open) based on 3 rounds, shot on 3 days (1 round per day), these are subdivided into 1 round of 3D sport and 2 rounds of 3D hunting.
3-D Sport | unknown distances |
3-D Hunting | unknown distances, but maximum 30 m, for students and adolescent only 20 m |
3-D Sport is a 3-arrow round that counts first hits. Rating Kill/Wound 20/16 Pt., 14/10 Pt., 8/4 Pt. , 24 to 30 targets on unknown distances must be shot. Unknown means really unknown, there is no limit on the size of the animal. For every archer the same conditions apply. The goals are set so that it is feasible and fair for every archer. The focus is set on the sporting challenge.
3-D hunting is a 2-arrow round, 2 arrows have to be shot. Scoring Inner-Kill/Outer-Kill/Wound 10/7/2 Pt. , 24 to 30 targets within a maximum distance of 30 meters. Each target has two different pegs, one arrow per peg. Group IV animals must always be set up in pairs. (not necessarily the same), in this case there will be a peg for each target.
An EHO (European Historical Open) were shoot also at three days. The targets are mostly defined by historical paragons. (Historical) There were moving targets (Technical) and 3D- targets for filling up. Due tue the fact, that we have no experiance how much time we need, we are starting with 24 targets per round. Later we can increase it up to 30 targets. The rating depends on the numers of arrows to shoot.
3D | Scoring like ETO | max. 20 Pts. |
Historical | 1 to 6 Arrows | prox. 20 Pts. max. 24 Pts. |
Technical | 1 to 6 Arrows | prox. 20 Pts. max. 24 Pts. |
