Default Marked 3D courses.

Are they usually in yards or meters?

Bring your own range finder and use which ever units you like

Bring your own rangefinder anyway. I've seen occasions where the posted yardage was not the same as the yardage my device gave me.....I know, right? It does happen though.

Last year the majority of outdoor shoots were marked. Other than Provincials and a couple club shoots.

The fun in that, is that they make the shots more challenging. You know how far it is, but now you have to weave an arrow through a 3” gap between trees. Or shoot out to 80 yards or more.

I found the odd time it can be off by a yard or two

The 3D shoot we attend is non range finder, but that's the rules they run with.

I'm off to Wolverine today so I can get up to speed on the traditional 3D stuff.

Over 50 years of age, Recurve no sights.

Oh Boy,,, I hope the lights in the building have deflector plates over them. LOL.

36 years ago was a long time to be away from the old stick Chucker,,, it has been the funest archery to date.

Just under $200 and "hopefully" I can squeeze the group down from my last shoot.

From shaky hand Don. Ha

If it's a manageable distance I won't even pay attention to the staked yardage. I'll just judge the target then shoot. If it extreme up hill or down hill, or further than 50 or so, I'll range it.
