FG PROPOsAl #8-
Submitted by NFAA/OBH constitution committee
consisting of Buck Kelty, George Johnson, Don Mendez,
Linda Maxson and technical advisor Mike Thomas, OBH’s
NFAA Director. These changes are recommended by the
NFAA Director.
Whereas, OBH’s NFAA Director has informed OBH
that some of their By-laws and tournament rules are not in
compliance with NFAA rules
Therefore Be It Proposed that the entire body meeting
in Bend, OR for the annual Field Governors meeting on
Feb. 24, 2013 act upon the following changes:
General Tournament Rules. NFAA has a rule that the
state must offer one indoor tournament and one outdoor
tournament and if no one can host a State Field tournament
then the 3D outdoor tournament may be used.
(2) which now reads: The Championship Tournaments
shall follow NFAA rules, age divisions and shooting
styles unless otherwise stated in the rules for the specific
tournament (such as the 3-D Tournament). Add to (such
as the 3-D Tournament unless the 3-D Tournament is used
in place of State Field for that year then NFAA rules shall
apply for the 3-D Tournament for that year only.)
(3) which now reads: All competitors competing for
awards must have a current membership in good standing
with OBH and the National Field Archers Association
(NFAA), except the 3-D Championship. There are no
residency requirements for any tournament.
Change to read: All competitors competing for awards
must have a current membership in good standing with
OBH and the National Field Archers Association (NFAA),
except the 3-D Championship unless the 3-D Tournament
is used in place of State Field for that year then NFAA
membership is required. You must be a resident of the
State of Oregon to compete for awards.
(10) which now reads: There shall be a guest division
for any non-members of OBH/NFAA, paying normal
registration fees and not competing for any awards.
Change to read: There shall be 2 guest divisions
paying normal registration fees neither of whom may
compete for awards. A guest competitor shall be a NFAA
member from another state. A guest participant refers to
non-NFAA/OBH members.
Protest rule:
(12) which now reads: Decisions of the target captain
are final unless followed by submission of written protest
to the OBH Tournament Director within 45 minutes upon
completion of the last competitive shooter. The Director
plus two appointed members will review the protest and
$50 fee must accompany the written protest, which will
be refunded if the protest is upheld. The Director, plus two
appointed members will review the protest and a decision
will be made at that time.
Change to read: Protests arising at tournaments will
be discussed and ruled upon by a committee consisting of
the Tournament Director and two appointed NFAA/ OBH
members. A list of the members of this committee shall
be posted in public view. Protests must be submitted in
writing to the Tournament Director within 1 hour after
the end of the day’s shooting or, if indoors, the end of the
line on which alleged offense occurred along with a $50
fee which will be refunded if the protest is upheld. The
Tournament Director plus the two appointed members will
review the protest and a decision will be at that time. No
protest that is filed after the time limit will be considered
or acted upon.
111 OBH INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
TOURNAMENT
(1) Requirements to hold the tournament shall be:
i. reads A heated range.
Change to read: A heated range, an inspected and
approved range, chartered with NFAA/OBH and shall
have liability insurance equal to or greater than NFAA.
Because NFAA requires the state to hold one indoor
and one outdoor tournament once a year Delete from
the By-laws Art XII, sec. 12.02 c which reads: If a bid is
not received for one of the Championship tournaments
within a reasonable time to host the tournament, the said
tournament will not be held that year only.
Because NFAA requires that we use official NFAA
animal targets Delete from the tournament rules #15 which
reads: OBH will not use any paper, cardboard, flat or 3-D
targets of any animal on the Federal or State government
threatened or endangered species list. Also delete from the
Policy Page # 7 which basically states the same idea.
