5.19.4 Arrows in contravention of #5.19.3 that are shot at the Merida target will not be
scored nor count as a target hit.
5.20 KIKAC and QABAQ
The kikaç shot is an extreme back shot at close range to a small target close to the ground.
The qabaq shot is made upwards to a target raised on a pole. Respecting Turkish tradition,
the kikaç and qabaq targets may only be included in a HT as a paired unit.
5.20.1 The kikaç target is located 40-60cm from the edge of the track, aligned with the
direction of travel (ie. not angled towards the track and so that it is shot with a back
shot). The angle of elevation is 45 degrees to the horizontal and the centre of the
target is 30-35cm above the ground.
5.20.1.1 The target face is a 30cm diameter kikaç target face (see target example 3
at the end of the HT rules)
5.20.2 The qabaq target is a 60cm metal disc at the top of an 8m tall pole
5.20.2.1 The base of the qabaq pole is 40-60cm from the track edge, and 35m
along the track from the kikaç target.
5.20.3 The kikaç target must be shot with a regular arrow (sharp point, standard
letching) and the qabaq target must be shot with a blunt lu lu letched arrow.
5.20.3.1 If the incorrect arrow is shot for either of these targets zero points will
be recorded for this element (kikaç and qabaq targets combined) regardless of
any hits scoring on either or both targets.
5.20.4 An arrow collection station must be located directly before the kikaç target,
with a distance of 10m or more between the arrow collection station and the target.
Unless the kikaç & qabaq are the first targets on the HT (see #4.1.1)
5.20.4.1 The specification of the arrow collection station is covered within the
HTCD course.
5.20.4.2 The blunt lu lu arrow may be collected at any gait, or when stopped.
5.20.4.3 The blunt lu lu should be held in reserve for the qabaq target (the 2nd in
the pair)
5.20.4.4 There are no mandatory rules about the order of drawing the regular
arrow from the quiver and collecting the blunt from the station.
5.20.4.5 The blunt lu lu may be held in either hand, but not elsewhere. The
recommended manner is to hold it near the tip using digits 4&5 of the draw
hand, with the sha t running parallel to the forearm.
5.20.5 It is not mandatory to shoot at both targets, hits are scored even if only one of
the targets was shot.
5.20.6 A 5 point bonus for this element is awarded if a competitor collects the blunt
