competition or grading runs, shooting is allowed on both runs.
2.1.2.1 According to G&C #9.2.1 & #9.4 an organiser/ judge may reduce test runs
to a single run. Competitors must be advised of this in advance.
2.2 Horses must be in canter or gallop throughout the track
2.2.1 A loss of gait that occurs whilst taking a shot (having started to draw the bow)
shall not be penalised and that arrow shall be scored. Further shots taken without
regaining a canter shall not be scored.
2.2.2 No further penalty or disqualification is incurred for breaking gait.
2.3 Arrows must be individually drawn from a quiver, belt or sash. (Rules on permitted
quivers are General & competition rules #3.5). Arrows may not be carried in the boot
2.3.1 If two arrows are drawn together, one must be discarded or returned to the
quiver, and the other may be used. The competitor gains nothing from their error and
so is not penalised.
2.4 Competitors may start with one arrow nocked or in the hand. The remaining arrows
must be in the quiver, belt or sash (as per #2.3).
2.5 Arrows must be shot only between the start line and finish line.
2.5.1 A competitor is deemed to have "crossed the startline" when the front of the
horse's chest crosses the line. For the purposes of #2.6, a competitor "crosses the finish
line" when the archer’s body passes the finish line.
2.5.1.1 The benefit of the doubt shall be given to the competitor. If the judge is
not sure then no penalty shall be imposed.
2.6 Only one arrow may be loosed at each target.
2.6.1 If more than 1 arrow was shot at a target then the lowest scoring arrow
(including arrows registering a 0 score for a miss) will be counted.
2.7 Any arrow shot in contravention of #2.2 (breaking pace) or #2.5 (outside the track) will
score 0 points regardless of where it hits.
