HBAE Raid tracks
Rules #1-3 pertain to both the HBAE Raid tracks. #4 details the R2-3-5. #5 details the R2-3-4, #6
details the R2-3-3, #7 details the FFE youth R233.

1. Set-up
1.1 The track shall be 150m (R235) or 90m (R234 & R233) long between the start and finish
lines
1.1.1 As standard the track is straight. However, one/multiple curves in the track are
permitted, where the radius of any curve (measured to the inside track boundary) is
greater than or equal to 15m. Targets must be on the inside of any curve and care
must be taken that target placement does not present a hazard nor invalidate the
angle of the shot.
1.1.2 There must be barriers on both sides of the track for its full length.
1.1.3 There must be adequate run-in / run-out space at either end of the track, as per
General & Competition rules #8.5 .
1.2 The start and finish lines must be clearly marked. Where electronic timing is being
used the timing gates will be located here.
1.3 The targets shall be set at the positions indicated in the diagrams and the specific
rules for R235, R234 and R233
1.3.1 They shall be set back 8m from the edge of the track for a square target (#1.4a)
or 7m from the edge of the track for a round target (#1.4b)
1.3.2 Targets shall be set so that the centre is at 90cm +\- 10cm above the ground.
Measurements are relative to the ground level of the track at the optimal shooting
location, ie. the target height should be adjusted appropriately if the ground slopes
between the track and the location of the target.
1.3.3 Targets shall be angled on the horizontal plane so that the target faces the
position indicated on the track diagram, and inclined on the vertical plane so that the
face is perpendicular to an archer mounted on an average size horse.
1.4 The target faces shall be either:
a. As standard, an 80 x 80cm square target face, divided into 5 evenly spaced
concentric zones, set 8m from the edge of the track.
b. Alternatively, a round target face with a diameter of 80cm, divided into 5 concentric
circular zones (ie. a standard WA80(FITA80) target), set 7m from the edge of the track.
1.4.1 The zones are concentric circles / squares with a diameter/width of 16cm, 32cm,
48cm, 64cm and 80cm.
