1.5 T2 & 4 (front and back shot targets) shall be set back 7m from the edge of the track. T2
at 40m facing to the track edge at 25m, T4 at 50m facing to 65m.
1.5.1 T2 & 4 shall be set so that their centre is 90cm +\- 10cm above the ground, or
lower. Measurements are relative to ground level within the track, ie. the target height
should be adjusted appropriately if the ground slopes between the track and the
location of the target.
1.5.2 Targets shall be inclined on the vertical plane so that the face is perpendicular to
an archer mounted on an average size horse.
1.6 T3 (ground target) should be laid lat on the ground with the centre 1m from the track
edge.
1.7 T5 (o fside shot) should be set back 3m from the edge of the track, at 90m (ie level with
the finish line) angled towards the track edge at 85m.
1.7.1 T5 shall be set so that target centre is 90cm +/- 10cm above the ground or lower
(as #1.5.1) and inclined so that the face is perpendicular to a mounted archer (as
#1.5.2).
1.8 Safety overshoot areas must be strictly observed by both people and horses; this is
particularly relevant for T1 and T5 which are in non-standard locations.
1.8.1 Organisers may set up a double layer of backstop netting behind T1 & T5 if they
wish, but there shall still be no persons or horses in these overshoot areas.
1.8.2 With this target set up it is not possible for horses to wait at the start or finish
line, nor for people indicating manual timing to be right next to the finish line. The
chief referee shall instruct people on where they may stand, and competitors on where
they must wait. *
2. Procedure

2.1.1 The archer is allowed 2 test runs in canter before the scored competition runs,
shooting is allowed on both runs.
2.1.2 At the referee's discretion warm up runs on the track at walk or trot, with no
shooting, may be permitted prior to the test runs (#2.1.1) to help familiarise horses
