                   2024 SASA Trail Shoot Championship Results

December 24th, 2024

My favorite shoot that I have done in a long time, maybe ever.

We might really be onto something here.

We, SASA/900 Club, have done a “State Trail Shoot” championship every year but this is the first with this format. We have never had a good turn out, and despite only drawing 6 archers this is our best turnout ever for an annual Trail Shoot, but this might change.

 

On the compound side of things today notice that all 5 archers are within 6 points of each other. It felt like we had a new leader on each target as we moved through until the final couple of targets and Neil and John battled to the last arrow. Great fun to watch. 

On the women’s traditional side Angel Duncan laid down an amazing score which establishes an SASA Trail Shoot record that I don’t see getting beat anytime soon. Amazing work Angel, you deserve so much credit and kudos for your hard work and diligence. Keep it going. 

Here are your results…..

  Compound Open/Unlimited

         1st     John Coros          390         3 X’s   $25.00  New Club Record

        2nd      Neil Thagard       389      7 X’s

         3rd      Ken Walter         387        5 X’s 

         4th   Dave Morgan       386        9 X’s

         5th      Ray Parrish          384         2 X’s

    Women’s Traditional

        1st       Angel Duncan       358        4 X’s      Established Club Record & Personal Best

The 2023 SASA State Trail Shoot champion was none other than Coach Marty Honea.

SASA Trail Shoot Archery Rules and Guidelines

The SASA Trail Shoot is based on our own unique set of rules but is very similar to other common trail and field shoots used worldwide. We have compiled this page to give shooters a good idea of what to expect when coming to our trail shoots.

First and foremost please be prepared for the hike, uneven terrain and the possible challenging weather and temps. Make sure you have a way to carry plenty of water, have proper shoes, a good hat and a pair of sunglasses. 

The SASA Trail Shoot 420 will consist of one course of 14 targets. The 840 Shoot is 28 targets, two courses of 14 targets each. 

All targets will be known yardage and shot from the white stake for compound shooters, black stake for all traditional classes.

Course will be numbered 1 - 14. 

Each shooter will shoot 3 arrows at each target.

Where possible two or more shooters will shoot at a time. Rotate which pair of archers shoots first target to target. When shooting one archer at a time rotate the order target to target. 

At this time SASA is only hosting adult, senior and masters aged archers. 

Please ignore all other colored stakes.

There is no bow weight or arrow restrictions for this event.

There are four target faces.... 20cm, 40cm, 60cm and 80cm.

Targets are black with a yellow center. 

The yellow area consist of the X and the10 ring. 

The black area is 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and of course, a miss. 

Target Distances....

20 cm Target - 3 to 19 yards

40 cm Target - 18 to 32 yards

60 cm Target - 30 to 50 yards

80 cm Target - 51 to 83 yards

Target 1 80cm 55 Yards [single]

Target 2 20cm 11 1/2 Yards [4 Targets]

Target 3 80cm 80 Yards [single]

Target 4 40cm 20 Yards [double]

Target 5 60cm 35 Yards [single]

Target 6 60cm 50 Yards [single]

Target 7 60cm 45 Yards [single]

Target 8 80cm 65 Yards [single]

Target 12 80cm 60 Yards [single]

Target 13 40cm 25 Yards [double]

Target 14 60cm 30 Yards [single]

Here are a few suggestions and reminders.....

• Have a good pair of binoculars and be ready to make quick and accurate adjustments after the first arrow you shoot, and again after your 2nd arrow. 

• The shooter can let down his/her bow, but cannot adjust their sight until that arrow is shot. 

• Shooters are required to straddle the shooting stake, basically putting the stake between your feet. Do not stand behind or in front of the stake.

• If your group is approaching a target and the group in front of you is still shooting please stop well behind them as not to interupt their shooting. Wait until the group is done shooting, pulling arrows and leaves the area into a safe area before you start shooting.

• If your group is moving slower than the group behind you it is fine, in fact it's encouraged, to allow the faster group to "shoot through".
