Australian Course
Name: Aussie course (advanced class - canter / gallop)
Course diagram:
Track required: 90m track 2-4m wide
Equipment required: 3 targets with either FITA80 targets (ie 80cm diameter round, 5-zone), stopwatch or timing gates
Rules:
The rules are essentially as per the IHAA Korean rules other than a few details
-
Arrows can be held in the hand or in a quiver
-
The track set up for the triple shot is different: comprising a forward first shot, a perpendicular 2nd shot, and backwards 3rd shot. The targets are set 7m from the edge of the track, and #1 and #3 are angled towards the track 10m away.
-
The Aussie set used in grading and postal matches is 6 runs in total - 3 runs of double and 3 runs of 3-shot
Scoring:
As per the IHAA Korean:
-
5 zone scoring: 1-5 pts
-
Par speed is 14s for 90m. Faster than this you gain points at 1pt/s up to a maximum of 5 points (ie no further point gain for covering 90m in less than 9s). Slower than 14s points are deducted at 1pt/s (or part thereof).
Speed points are only gained if a target is hit on that run. -
3 bonus points awarded on the 3-shot if all targets are hit

Historic aspect: none
Benefits: Easier to safely set up in an indoor school with several participants as all shooting is directed towards the middle of the 90m run. A good introduction to Hungarian for beginners.
