McAirrow Cup

There you can read a report from my daughter, who lives in the USA for one year: "Here in the USA in Oak Brook, llinois we have every year the McAirrow Cup with thousands of users and hundreds of millions of spectators. Beside the traditional 'McAirrow target' there are disciplines like 'McAirrow hunting' , 'McAirrow gulf', 'McAirrow gate' as well as 'McAirrow parcours'. All these games are of largest popularity and find great interest even at the TV. In particular 'McAirrow hunting', where a player uses a remote control to move a model auto with ballon as a rabbit, is the hit. I did not understand all the complicated rules. They also seem to vary from event to event."
McAirrow gulf On the lawn with well filled grandstand there is a flag and in a twenty yards distance the line of fire with the players: All carry a McAirrow Classic with three indoor arrows each. After some test shots the players have to place their three arrows within two minutes as near as possible at the flag. Unfortunately no aid is permitted, so that their success depends stronly on the right 'load data', firing angles and -direction. The supervisor measures the distances of the arrows to the flag, summes them up and notes them. At the end of the event he subtracts them from the total score of the 'target-' result.
McAirrow parcours Five tin cans of a certain size (a certain soup label which should not be called is suitable) are placed in unknown distances between five and ten yards standing on short bars on the lawn. The player carries a McAirrow Classic with an indoor arrow and has to hit each of the cans successively, after the supervisor has given the starting signal. After each shot the player runs to the next bar. If he was successful, he resets the can on the bar, gets its arrow and goes on to the next soup. Otherwise he gets his arrow, goes back to the last bar and shoots again. After successful handling of all cans he runs back to the line of fire. The supervisor notes the seconds and subtracts them at the end of the event from the total score of the 'target-' result.
McAirrow hunting On the lawn with almost overfilled grandstand we see the 'hunter' and the 'rabbit'. The rabbit is either a remote controlled model auto with a ballon or a ballon controlled by a piece of string, as we see at the picture. In both cases the 'rabbit' must overcome a five yards distance between two cardboards, without beeing caught by the hunter, who is ten yards away at the line of fire. After the starting signal of the supervisor the rabbit has two minutes to overcome the distance between the two cardboards and the hunter has only one arrow. Who of the two players is the rabbit and who is the hunter, is decided by drawing lots. The hunter or the rabbit or none of them (if the hunter misses and the rabbits does not reach the shelter) receive the points. Our supervisor adds it to the total score from the 'target-' result.
