Would you like NFAA indoor archery if the X ring was a 10 instead of just a X for tie breakers. Other words score the 5 spot target as a 10. 9. 8. 7. instead of the boreing 5' 4' 3' ring that we now score. also go to a 30 arrow
round instead of a 60 arrow round

So in other words, make it vegas scoring without having to shoot at that stupid yellow face with a center that is impossible to see? Sign me up.

Yes shoot 6 ends on a 5 spot target with X Ring as a 10

 

[knarrly]

Why? for me that would just make it a vegas round and we already have those The only difference would be the colors.

I'd just leave it as it is and people can choose what game they want to play.

 

[field14]

The NFAA blue face already has an option for scoring the X as "6" points! It is used in the Iowa Pro-Am and the Lancaster shoot, and is shot as a 360 round.

So, if I was going to vote for any change for normal shoots, the Sectionals, or the Nationals, it would be to use the X-ring as 6 points, the rest of the white as 5 points...for a 360 round.

NO NEED TO GET FANCY WITH THE NFAA FACE....

The options are already in place.

you dont need to see the X, use the force!

I wasn't shooting Archery when NFAA started shooting the Indoor round with the Blue Face. Where did they come up with it. Since I got back into Archery I have never understood 5/3 scoring on the Blue Face. I think there should be a blue Bullseye and score it 5/4/3 like the Field Target.

What I am trying to say is, were suppose to be spot shooters and that X, that I have to have a 6X Scope to see, ain't no Spot.

i like the 5-spot round, it´s fun, but it´s not really separateing the shooters when all end up on 300, you still have to count the X:es.
on the FITA 18 meters, you are most likely done after 60 awrrows just by the scoring.

 

[AT_X_HUNTER]

I agree with Field14 on this. If you change anything make the X a 6. In the current format yes, there are a lot of ties. But if any of you went to Vegas last year you would have seen 12 or 13 guys on the last day in mens freestyle championship div. being watched by hundreds of people. They were standing on the bleachers, chairs, and anywhere they could get a peek at these guys going head to head. The shoot off had a pretty heafty crowd too. It sure seemed to me there is plenty of interest in watching a shoot off between a handfull of people who tied with perfect scores. Nationals is the same way.

 

[Tommy Chumley]

I say leave the NFAA Indoor round alone!!!! I like it the way it is!

 

[big scores]

they need to have some way of breaking a tie. X count just doesn't do it.

 

[Mr. October]

It seems okay now. Why mess with it? Those that sit on the sidelines and say "I'm not good enough to do that" or "I can't shoot spots" aren't going to come shoot no matter what you do.

 

[rock monkey]

why does the nfaa need to fix what ISNT broke?

the blue face has been around for atleast 30 years.

tied x counts?, so what...have a shoot off, thats what makes things exciting. golf has sudden death and people go nuts about it. all sports have an overtime format, and thats what makes any sport interesting and exciting.

mr october hit this one on the head. those that can, will and do.

enuff with tryin to change things, get out and shoot. how many times do we see someone say that the game was changed to cater to a special interest?....quite a bit. isnt changing the game to accomodate the aging population the same thing? i'm not saying this to upset the older guys, but to more or less point out the fact that it is one in the same.

aint nothin wrong with any format we shoot now, its just an issue of attendance. all venues are suffering. some of it is from urban sprawl, others from rising costs and others still from throat cutting by scheduling. some things we can control...worry about what you can do and fix, not whine about what cant be done.

the lancaster classic has its own, unique format that is both a tough round overall to shoot and extremely exciting to watch during the shoot offs. nobody complains about it being too easy. nobody complains about it being too tough. you know well ahead of the tournament what you will be shooting and how it will be scored. the shoot off had in any tournament is what gives us our drama...see who has it and who caves.

I shoot 300 52X, you shoot 300 48X - I WIN. YES X count does do it.

Seems pretty simple to me, indoor 300 is and has been just fine for a long time, there is no need to change it.

Oh, by the way big scores, I have never shot a 300, so I guess you would win.:embara:

Robert.
The BLUE FACE INDOORS is NOT scored 5/3!

On the 5-spot, the X counts as "5", the rest of the white counts as "5" (X's are counted for tie-breakers), and the entire dark blue is a "4". After that, ON THE 5- SPOT FACE...it is a "zero" in any other area.

If you shoot a single spot face, then the scoring is X=5, rest of white = 5, and you score by the lines on the target...4 ,3, 2, 1...TOUCHING the line counts for next higher value.

I hope this clears your misunderstanding of the blue NFAA indoor face and scoring? 5 arrows per end, 12 ends for 60 arrows time 5 points possible per shot, for a total of 300 and total possible X count of 60.

I've been in the game since 1968, and the blue face was around then...a little bit different color of blue, and NO "X" ring when I first started, and everyone shot a SINGLE SPOT FACE...The 5-spot and X-ring were introduced, I think sometime in the late 1970's....don't recall just when, however...

You have your CHOICE of whether to shoot single spot or 5-spot, but once selected, you cannot change from single to 5-spot, or 5-spot to single spot during the scoring round.

Sorry about the 5/3 instead of 5/4. I live and breath Field Archery and when I try to shoot Indoors I just can't seem to make my 62 yr old brain focus on that "X".

[60Xbulldog60X]

X as 10

Any of the changes mentioned above would not make any difference in the outcome. The only thing that would help as a tie breaker would be to add an inner ten in the middle of the X ring. Some things are best left alone. There are enough different rounds to accomodate most everyone. There is no need for a change. Just my oppinion.

I agree with this statement. Why change it, it already works. If you want a serious challenge then shoot a FITA 18m round. Dime size X in the gold is your ten! This will seperate the shooters out.

 

[henman]

Leave it alone.

I say leave the NFAA Indoor round alone!!!! I like it the way it is!

I agree with you!

 

[the GREY GHOST]

So you are saying hit the blue and still be able to win.....The pressure is what the blue ring is about for the average shooter.
Better shooters don't care what it is so......the better shooters will score high reguardless.....
The average shooter reaches a level of success when they shoot a couple of 300s so changeing it would ruin the 5 dot game.....
