Peg distances in 3DAAA

[Marcus]

What are the peg distances in 3DAAA? Do they have groups like in ABA? If so what are they?

[OldDog]

The peg distances are related directly to equipment sex and age,
Championship (semipro) MBO and Mbr, :50yds max.
Hunter class FBO FBR MCU. YMR 40yds max
RA FCU YFR YMCU Max 30yds
The kids have a max of 20 yds, (rarely seen)

[Marcus]

So is that all we know is it? That a target can be up to 50yards away? Is there a "On the Standing Bear between 20 and 30m" kind of thing?

[OldDog]

No, They can be anywhere between 1 and 50 yds,

[Marcus]

What are the peg colours for the different divisions?

[Maranoa_Archer]

Orange - MBO, MBR, MSR
Green - MBF, FBO, FBR, FBF, MCU, YMR(15-17), HUNTER CLASS
White - TRAD, RA, RU, FCU, YMR(13-14), YF, YMF, YMU
Red - CUBA, CUBU

This is what you wanted wasn't it???

[Eberbachl]

So for example, Marcus and I ...a couple of amatuer Mexicans...what would we shoot? 50yds max orange peg?

Are we MBO, MBR, MSR? What do they stand for?

[OldDog]

MBO Luke, I have to go out for a couple of hours, will explain more when I return. :D

[robbo]

Noel
Is that correct, kids under 13 shoot up to a max 20 yds?
Are there any divisions like sighted or bare bow for kids?

Just trying to find out as much info as possible, we would like to get there if we can.
Does 3DAAA have a web site?

Thanks
Robbo :P

[mike]

can you imagine if 3DAAA, IFAA, ABA, IBO and AA had a combined shoot.


the presentation would go for weeks... :roll:

[OldDog]

Yes and Yes Robbo, really have to go will talk later.

"And now the winner for U15 female longbow using tradition drawing methods but pin sights from AA is......"

I actually though 3DAAA's looked pretty good, only 20 possible 1st places instead of 96 for AA. Of course why women can't shoot 50m is beyond me. :roll:

[OldDog]

Back again Luke, MBO is Male bowhunter open, basicly the same rules as fita mens compound, anything goes, no bow weight limit rule, 5 grains per pound arrow weight rule, While the maximum distance is 50 yds your average shot at a guess would be about 30 to 35 yds.

[OldDog]

Robbo, !!sighted barebow!! oxymoron there mate, what I think you meant to ask was, is there a division for under 13 using sights, yes there is, it is called cub aided. HTH.

[OldDog]

In all divisions binoculars are not only allowed they are encouraged, Maximum power is 8* This power is not enforced with first timers.

[Eberbachl]

Thanks Noel!

Does that mean that if I turn up with my Opticron 10x32's they'll turn a blind eye ?

Or do I need to buy new binos :cry:

[OldDog]

That is correct. Was that a play on words or an accident. :D

[robbo]

Noel
It should have read sighted OR barebow, I left out the OR.

I have just been to the 3DAAA website, the kids are bare bow so they are CUBU.

Robbo :P

[Eberbachl]

Actually just an accident :) but I though as I posted...hey that sounds clever...better not let anyone know I didn't plan it :angel:

Damn...I just did :bday:

[robbo]

Another question Noel
I shoot barebow with fingers, male compound unaided (MCU) .

Are there any restrictions on bow weight, point weight or fletching size.

Thanks
Robbo :P

[OldDog]

No Robbo, the only rule relating to arrows is 5 grains per lb of bowweight for this class. Your maximum distance is 40 yds, Your average shot will be around the25 to 30 yds.

[Foxcub]

[robbo]

I'm sending in my 3DAAA membership application in today, as soon as I get off this forum (this thing is addictive).

I got a membership form in the email this morning.

All I've got to do is take the kitchen out, put a new one (second hand) in and renovate and paint a bedroom and I am allowed to go.
:lol: .. :lol:.. :lol: .. :lol: .. :lol: .. :lol: .. :lol:
Now all I need is a few more pairs of hands and a builder.
:lol: .. :lol: .. :lol: .. :lol: ..:lol: ..:lol: .. :lol:
I'll have to do some sweet talking I think.
:angel: :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

Hopefully I will see a few of you up there.
Robbo :P

[Marcus]

On the Friday before the Nats just say you are nipping out for some liquid nails.
When you don't come home and get a call on your mobile just say "Geez Bunnings is big! Seeya Monday"
:P :lol:

[robbo]

I don't know if that will work. the missus knows all my tricks and excuses.
Although I haven't used that one before, sounds good.

I've been fixing the kitchen for 6 months. :D

I might have to actually do something this time :wink:

[Foxcub]

[Marcus]

Yep I'll be there. My first 3D tournament too! Looking forward to it.

[Eberbachl]

[Eberbachl]

Hi Foxcub, who is your Dad?

[Foxcub]

[robbo]

Looks like there's going to be a lot of first time 3DAAA shooters at Coffs. I hope they can handle us all. :2gunfire:

[Eberbachl]

Hey Foxcub....what sort of Mathews does he shoot? Is he on this forum?

:o :angel: :bday:

ohhhh, and Marcus, I'm going to nominate you for comment of the year with that one :D

[Foxcub]

yes he is n teelow

[Eberbachl]

Just as I suspected Foxcub....the clue was Silverfox :D

[Marcus]

I suspected it when he said a Mathews. Only one man could have such poor taste!
Hey Foxcub, does your dad know you are talking to degenerates such as us? :lol:

[Eberbachl]

Hey dude, speak for yourself! :D

:angel: :bday: :angel:

[Marcus]

I think there is too much evidence to support the degeneracy of this board to bother arguing against it.

[Eberbachl]

Yeah, OK ya got me...I can't argue with that kind of evidence :D

[OldDog]

:D :D :D GUILTY :D :D :D

[Grant]

In 3DAAA there is maximum bow weights, they are:-
80pounds for all male classes except traditional which is 90 pounds.
60 pounds for all female & youth classes.
40 pounds for all cub classes.

[robbo]

Are there any rules on stablizers ie. under 12inches etc?

[Maranoa_Archer]

robbo there is only one division where you are limited stabilier wise. This is hunter class -
Only one(1) single stabiliser with a maximum of 12 inches in length from the nearest point of attachment is allowed

That is straight from the 3D archery association of australia rule book for 2002.

Hope this answers your ???

[robbo]

Thanks Maranoa

I'm Male compound unaided I think, so it shouldn't affect me.

[Foxcub]

Male compound unaided shot of the green peg and if there is some one from the orange you will shot 2nd and dont freget to have fun :angel:

[robbo]

I will have fun if I don't miss the targets too many times.... :lol:

I am going to practice next week so hopfuly I wont miss too many.... :lol:

[robbo]

Well got my ID cards and rule book from 3DAAA, now I'm ready for Coffs Harbour, well almost. Just got to pack the trailer tomorrow. :D

[Inner-10]

As far as stabilizers go, I have a 3/4" weight screwed into the left side my bowsling 'afficiator', is that legal, and is it illegale to put a Y-bar on the back of the bow and then attatch a weight?
