CREEKWOOD'S 420 TARGET:
Creekwood's
420 Target was
born in 2008. It is a copyrighted target, and is in the process of being
trademarked. Here is the short version of
it's acceptance. In 2010, the NFAA
decided
to sanction our 420 Pro/Am
Tournament as a five point event for the NFAA
Pros. This was a major happening for
The 420 Target , and
Christie Colin (she is a true archery ambassador) was the person who helped it
come about. The NFAA had a four page promotional article about
The 420 Target and the 420 Pro/Am Tournament in their
magazine. It
is our belief
that
The 420 Target brings
challenge to the Pros without hurting the amateur
shooters, and
this is why we have worked
so hard promoting
The 420 Target as
"Bringing
the
CHALLENGE BACK to Archery" for everyone. Most all the
Pros shoot 60X 300's and are bored with the normal target. We have had Pros
shoot the our 420 Pro/Am Tournament every year since the beginning of the 420 Tournament.
In 2013 Ricky Smith shot a 377 on Friday including a 5 Inside "X" round for 35 points,
he did it
with 2712's.
The older
420 scores and, are listed below:
I

The 420 Target can be shot as a
420 Single Spot Target
or a 420
Five Spot Target . The scoring is similar to the NFAA Blue Faces
with the exception of the “X” ring. The center 5 ring is grey with only the
SMALLER “X” ring being white. X’s are counted as 6 points and Inside “IX’s” are
counted as 7 points. Thus for 5 arrows you have a possible score of 35 points
times 12 ends equals 420 points. There is no adding of 6's and 7's. You score it
like this. First you write down your score the same as the NFAA target. Then you
write down your total number of X's (Both X's & IX's). Then you write down your
total number of IX's. The total of those three numbers is your score for that
end.
After shooting 60 arrows you have four totals. First you have your score which
is exactly the same as it would be on the current NFAA blue face. Then you have
your total number of X's and the total number of IX's (Inside X's). The sum of
these three numbers gives you the fourth total which is your
420 Score
for that game. If it's your Personal Best, LIFE
IS GOOD !
We
have had nothing but good comments
on the
target
by all that have shot it, and next year, 2014 will be our 5th Annual 420 Pro/Am. ELITE ARCHERY which has always sponsored
The 420 Pro/Am, offers contingency money for winning any class with any of their
ELITE BOWS.
The
The 420 Target has
been a big step on Creekwood's trip to "Shoot Em' In The Middle"
.
