With over 90%, the hunting round is the most frequently shot scoring system worldwide, and is also at the top in Austria. A hunting round means three arrows and three scoring zones. The first arrow counts as 20/18/16, the second arrow as 14/12/10, or the third as 8/6/4. The first hit counts. In second place in the statistics is WA-2014, or the World Archery scoring system, which is shot as a double hunter with four scoring zones - two arrows are shot and added together as 11/10/8/5. For compound archers and anyone training for HDH or AAA, there is also the IBO scoring system, which is the third most prominent scoring system worldwide and is scored exactly the same as WA, but with one arrow as the "hunter round."
Of course, you can write everything down on a piece of paper and calculate it in your head, just like our grandparents did with the household budget, but in 2020, you use an app for your household budget – and you can and should do this with archery, too. The market leader, 3D Skill Board, supports all known scoring systems and is the only app that allows you to create your own scoring systems, so there are no limits to your creativity.
In the free app, you select the course you want to shoot on that day from the comprehensive course directory, add the participating shooters with their email addresses, and select the appropriate scoring system. Mixed rounds are also possible, allowing each shooter to shoot a different scoring system. After completing the round, you get a nice overview, and once you've synchronized, the other shooters can download their results to their smartphones (which is why the email address is important).
Have fun on the course & all for the kill, Bernhard Haba
