2.5.2 O fside targets must be positioned so that it is possible to shoot them without
changing bow hand, ie. the angle of this target is not beyond a 45 degrees forward/
o fside angle from the direction of travel.
2.5.2.1 Non-standard o fside shots (ie. beyond 45 degrees and/or with a
mandatory change of bow hand, may be included as Archery technical elements,
see #5)
2.5.3 O fside shots must not account for more than 30% of all targets in a course.
2.6 LONG DISTANCE SHOT
2.6.1 There must be at least one target set for a long-distance shot, ie. where the
target is 30-45m from the track edge at its closest point.
2.6.2 There will be a main scoring zone, equivalent in size to a single FITA 122, two
conjoined 80cm squares or FITA80s (see example 4 in the diagrams at the end of the
HT rules), or an irregularly shaped zone of a similar area (see #2.6.4).
2.6.3 There may also be be a zone surrounding this on the vertical plane (for
peripheral hits, also known as near misses). It is not mandatory for this near miss
zone to be physically marked on the target. Measurements for near miss zones are
given in #2.6.4.
2.6.4 Target options:
a. Scoring zone = a single FITA 122 or two conjoined FITA80s. Arrows within 12cm
of the edge of the main scoring zone count as a near miss.
b. Scoring zone = two conjoined square raid targets (ie. 80x160cm rectangle).
Arrows within 10cm of the edge of the scoring zone count as a near miss.
c. The near miss area is the whole frontage of a rectangular 1x2m target boss. An
"irregularly shaped hit zone" with an area approximately half the total area of the
front of the 1x2m boss is permitted.
2.6.4.1 There is allowance (2.6.2) for slight variation in dimensions, or an
irregular shape (c), but there may not be a hole or significant cut outs (non-
scoring area) in the middle of the scoring zone.*
2.6.5 During the whole Hunt track event a minimum track length of 90m should be
dedicated to taking long-distance shots. Where there are multiple opportunities for
shooting at a long-distance target (ie. there is more than one long-distance target on
a long hunt track which is ridden once, or one long-distance target on a shorter hunt
track which is ridden several times) this 90m+ track distance should be divided
between all opportunities to take a long-shot. (Therefore if 2 runs of a short hunt
track are made, at least 45m of that track must be dedicated to shooting at the long-
distance target). Therefore the scoring potential from long-distance shots can be
appropriately balanced against the scoring potential from other shots.
