If you are just getting started, don't worry to much about the rules. There are sooooo many different rule sets around you may never figure them out. Shot distances can be from a very few feet out to 60 yards or, in some rare cases, further.

Go to a local shoot and talk to the folks at the registration desk and HAVE FUN!!!

Do a Google search for ASA archery rules, be warned it is long, you will prob. want to shoot in open "C" class or hunter class.. biggest thing is arrow speed, must be or less then 280fps

You are welcome to check out our coalition website as it contains rules and class information. Remember some rules and classes are different for other areas/regions. This should help you. http://www.centralcarolinaarchery.com

Most local shoots will use ASA or IBO rules, and they might slightly alter them. For the most part, take your hunting rig, shoot "Hunter Class" or the equivalent, ask the person at the desk about their rules, and have fun. Or, just write "for fun" on your scorecard and don't worry about the rules. Max distance for hunter class will probably be around 40 yards. Youth, depending on age group, will be around 20 or 30 yards. It's a lot of fun and is addictive.
