Results Caid Archery Open

The premiere target archery and thrown weapons tournament in Caid.

The Caidan Open is a double-elimination Royal Round tournament-style competition. The rules are basic. Each archer is paired like a fighting event. The only scores of concern during each round are between the archer and their opponent. Sequence of shooting: each archer is allowed 3 arrows for sighting at the 40-yard line. Range Marshal will instruct the archers to retrieve these arrows from the target butts and face only. Gleaning of other arrows is not permitted at this time. Six (6) untimed arrows will be shot for score at 40 yards. The Range Marshal will command the archers to score and record all 6 arrows at this time. The archers will move to the 30-yard line and shoot six (6) more untimed arrows for score. The Range Marshal will command the archers to score and record all 6 arrows at this time. Gleaning of arrows other than those on the target butt and face is not permitted at this time. Six (6) untimed arrows will be shot for score at the 20-yard line. The Range Marshal will command the archers to score and record these 6 arrows at this time. An archer with less than 12 arrows in his quiver may request permission from the Range Marshal to glean enough arrows to have 12 arrows in his quiver for the upcoming speed round. The Range Marshal will run a 30-second speed round at the 20-yard line. It will be scored and recorded. The totals will be tabulated and the highest score of each pair is the winner of that pairing for that round. All arrows may be gleaned at this time. Archers are eliminated from the competition after 2 losses. These competitions may take seven or more rounds to complete. It is considered a full-day's shoot. It is held once per calendar year, the winner of the Open Division holds the title of Caidan  Archery Champion during the following year.

Period Division is run the same as the Open Division but must use equipment of a more period style, Bows must not have built in shelves (archers shooting off of their hands) and arrows are to be self knocked (see IKAC rules). Equipment used in this division can not also be used in the Open division on the same day. It is held once each calendar year and the winner holds the title of Caidan Period Archery Champion for the following year.

Crossbow Division is run the same as the Open and Period Divisions. Modern Style (Whammo, Barnett, and others) crossbows are not permitted front or rear sighting devices. Period-style crossbows are permitted a period rear sight only. It is held once each calendar year and the winner holds the title of Caidan Crossbow Champion for the following year.

Caidan Thrown Weapons Tourney Is a single royal round "Thrown Cold" (no warming up) with Axe, Spear and Dagger (currently 15 of each) with the winner taking all. It is held once each calendar year and the winner holds the title of Caidan Thrown Weapons Champion for the following year.
