What's the best way to plan a 3D archery course?
Let's say you want to establish a 3D archery tournament. You want to create a small 3D course.
You are at the stage where you want to make a concept for the trail. How do you create a map to ensure safety (shooting direction, terrain), to ensure that no one can get lost, and to gather some stats such as trail length and height?

The NFAA has a great guide on how to create a field archery course. The guide talks about minimum distances between targets, backstops and safe angles of approach.

The Easton Foundation also has a more illustrated guide to range design.

My key takeaway: expect to use 1 acre per target.
