52 There is no absolute maximum track length, particularly for specialist Hunt
1.3.1
tracks.
1.4 The organiser will nominate the number of runs made of the track(s).*
1.4.1 There may be multiple runs of one track in the same direction, or one track in
opposite directions, or di ferent tracks.
1.4.2 If there is to be just 1 single run of a long track then there must be a marker
post approximately halfway along the track.
1.5 The number of runs of the track(s) and target points available should allow a potential
maximum Hunt track score that is comparable with other styles run in the competition
2. Targets
2.1 The minimum number of targets is 6. On a single long track of up to 1500m the
maximum number is 30 targets.
2.1.1 When there are multiple runs of a track the maximum number of targets is: 15
targets (for 2 runs) or 10 targets (for 3 runs).
2.1.2 For tracks exceeding 1500m there may be 1 target more for every 50m over
1500m.
2.1.3 On a long track (as #1.4.2) there must be a minimum of 6 targets on each half-
track. Rules #2.4-2.5 must be applied to each half-track (ie. each half track must
include an o fside and ground shot), the long-distance shot(s) may be on just one
half or on both halves of the track.
2.2 The first target must be 15m or more from the start line. The last target must not be
within 15m of the finishing line.
2.3 The size and shape of targets may vary (examples are given at the end of these rules).
2.3.1 The distance of a target from the track can vary but must be appropriate for its
size (more guidance is given in the HTCD training).
2.3.2 The height of a target above the ground can vary. For targets raised above the
horizontal see rule #5.19 (Merida targets) and #5.20 (Qabaq).
2.4 GROUND SHOTS
2.4.1 One or two targets (but no more) must be set for a ground shot, either lat on
the ground (for a target boss) or directly on the ground (small 3D target), near the
edge of the track or in a fenced-o f island in the middle of the track.
2.4.2 It is permitted to place a target in a depression or on ground that is lower than
the track level.
2.5 OFFSIDE SHOTS
2.5.1 At least one target must be set for an o fside shot (ie. a right-side shot for a
right-handed archer).
