6. Targets
6.1 It is the responsibility of event organisers to keep targets in good repair so that arrows
do not frequently bounce or pass through the target.
6.2 Target stands should be made of a material that will not easily damage an arrow, or
cause it to bounce back or ricochet, if the arrow hits the stand. I.e. wooden stands are
suitable but metal stands are not.
6.3 Target bosses should be properly secured (using straps and/or weights), so that they
do not blow over in the wind or when struck by arrows.
6.4 To allow the accurate scoring of arrows that are a 1pt-miss linecutter, there must be at
least 2cm of target beyond the outside scoring ring.
6.5 Target faces should have an accuracy tolerance of +1mm. Therefore the use of printed
paper, plastic or fabric faces or foam shields is recommended.
6.5.1 If the colour of the zones di fers from the IHAA standard there must be clear
di ferentiation between zones to enable accurate scoring and consideration should be
given to potential di ficulties for target scorers or competitors with colour blindness.
6.5.2 The only exception to #6.5.1 is with the traditional, 2D or 3D targets used on the
Hunt track where the zones are demarcated by a line. Organisers should ensure that
target judges are suitably trained and able to di ferentiate the zones.
6.5.3 In 1* level competitions hand-painted foam targets or hand-drawn paper faces
are permitted. In 2* competitions (or higher), when running mainstream straight
tracks (eg. Raid, Tower, Skirmish), standardised printed faces or foam shields must be
used.
[for further information about competition levels see the IHAA website]
6.6 All information about the size, shape, elevation and locations of targets is specified in
the event rules, as well as how to score the di ferent target faces.

7. O ficials
7.1 Every competition shall have the following roles assigned: competition organiser, head
judge, track marshal (starter), start-line judge, target judge(s), time keeper, and score
keeper. Somebody will be tasked to keep the safety lag.
7.1.1 Specific events may require additional personnel
7.1.2 All o ficials must declare any con lict of interest to the Head Judge at the start of
the competition (eg. family members competing). If the head judge has a con lict of
interest, they must outline it to the competition organiser.
7.1.3 O ficials must conduct themselves in an impartial and professional manner
7.2 Each role may be held by a single person or by more than one person jointly (eg. a
competition may have 2 people working as score-keeper; working concurrently, or covering
