The Club de Arquería El Hornero made its official competitive debut as a federated institution during the third date of the Torneo Nacional 3D de tiro con arco, according to regional reporting. Held on an outdoor course, the competition challenged archers to take aim at 24 rubber targets shaped like various animals.
For El Hornero, the event marked a milestone not just in scoring, but in presentation. Four club representatives competed across different categories while wearing the organization’s newly minted custom jerseys, signaling continued growth for newer members stepping into national-level competition.
Standout Performances and Category Results
Gustavo Selios led the club’s delegation by securing a first-place finish in the Recurvo Tradicional Máster Masculino (Federado) category, posting a winning score of 321 points. Selios’s performance anchored El Hornero’s presence in the federated division during the outdoor tournament.
In the non-federated Tradicional Senior Masculino division, three other club members placed within the standings. Julio Oyola finished seventh with 236 points, Nicolás Linale took 11th place with 154 points, and Luis Cabral rounded out the group in 12th place with 126 points.
Understanding the 3D Archery Format
Unlike traditional target archery, 3D archery takes place on outdoor, wooded, or field courses where life-sized rubber animal targets are placed at varying, often unmarked distances. Scoring is divided into specific scoring rings located on the animal’s body.
According to event rules outlined by regional coverage, hits within the vital zones award 11, 10, or 8 points depending on the concentric circle hit. Impacts anywhere else on the animal target award a flat 5 points, placing a premium on precision over raw power in varied outdoor terrain.
Looking Ahead
