Broadhead Round

A variant of the animal round, a broadhead round features archers shooting broadhead-tipped arrows through various single-sheet, 2-D cardboard cutouts of animals that are hung between two wooden poles, strung in the air by bendable wire, with a large dirt mound behind it as a backstop. Like the other events in field archery, the archers in the broadhead round go from station to station to shoot from various distances and in unique circumstances; some stations may even employ a moving target. These stations do not list their yardages in order to create a ‘real field’ feel to the simulation provided by the competition. The highest scoring is achieved by (1) scoring inside the highest scoring ring and (2) is done in one shot. Typically an archer is allowed one scoring shot unless he or she misses, which they are allowed another shot, but must reduce their score by half; if they miss, their score is zero and scoring for them is completed. This is an old practice form of archery competition in the United States that is still enjoyed today.

Bionic Buck

Where only the most skilled and willing shooters with great quantities of arrows apply, a bionic buck competition features archers attempting to shoot through a small hole in the kill area of a cast iron steel deer target. The hole size varies from two to four inches (102 mm) in diameter. Typically the archer is placed twenty yards (18.2 m) from the bionic buck and given however many chances they have to succeed; success means having the arrow go through the hole, or otherwise if the arrow hits any the steel it will immediately drive the tip of the arrow back and shatter the arrow be it made of wood, aluminum, or carbon. Such a challenge usually can boost the ego of any archer, especially those who do not use sights or other mechanical means to 'sight' the target hole, but many more suffer the humiliation of hitting the dreaded Bionic Buck; their misses very audible. A version of this type of target can be found at an American Archery club in the UK. Liberty Archers, at R.A.F. Lakenheath, have a very good and quite famous (in N.F.A.S. circles) target called RoboDeer. Robodeer is a half sized deer made from steel cheqerplate with a 3-inch (76 mm) hole cut out for the kill area.

Blarows

A fun, two player game where player 1 sets out 3 helium balloons and marks an X behind one of them. Player 2 must then guess which balloon is marked from the back, and shoot it from any starting point. If player 2 hits the correct balloon, player 2 automatically switches turns with player 1 after telling how far player 1 must move back. If player 2 misses or hits the wrong balloon, player 2 is then blarow forced which means player 2 has to do/give whatever player 1 desires(age appropriate). Player 2 then has an opportunity to use any of three cards each player has from the beginning to; escape blarow force/ to substitute blarow force/ or a fun activity.

Champion of the World!

Each player takes turns to try and gain the title "Champion of the World" by shooting a designated target. At the end of the first round, the person who's arrow is closest to the center of the target is to be called Champion of the World! Any player who misses the target is eliminated from the game and is then called "Chinese Ambassador". It is up to the remaining players to steal the winning title by getting an arrow closer to the center of the target than the Champion.

Darts

Like a big darts game, at a greater distance ( The shooting line is at 15yds.) and using a proportional sectorized target. In Black & White The rules are much like the original game. The rules can vary from club to club, i.e. start with a Double/end with a Double. Or, Straight in, straight out with exact score. Often, two archers will shoot at the target together, but with grouping, damage could be caused to the arrows. A good indoor game for a change of target.

Golf Archery

This variation of clout archery uses the same rules and field as the classic golf, except the ball replaced by an arrow and the clubs replaced by a bow. There is sometimes competition between a golfer and an archer. The field should be free of other golfers.

Golf Archery

More of a family/children's event than a pure competition, night shooting consists of archers going out on a short, one round course using flashlights to light their way through the course and use the lights to shine the targets which often have reflective tape or paint on them. The course, laid out and roped off in advance before dark, is designed to keep all participants safe. The distances to the targets are very short, often not more than twenty yards (18 m), and the targets are typically quite large in size. In some cases there can be two shooting distance markers: a far one for adults, and a short one for children; the rules do allow for children to move closer if necessary in order to shoot. The short shooting distances are necessary since, at night, complete misses would mean the loss of an arrow(s). Though there is no inherent practical purposes for night shooting, it is just a different form of competition that is enjoyably fun. There are two variants: the Monster Shoot and the Raccoon Shoot.
