Advantages of the linked trail are; <br /> • The course designer has a reduced requirement to establish and clear the trail, using <br /> LINKED <br /> TRAIL <br /> ARCHERY <br /> COURSE <br /> Tx<`,1t <br /> ,�1 v I 1►1 <br /> � `•aafne+ n.a .r.�-* +S'.-T .�sn��an*�^ ^t2-+e, rir'rtvT +r"�r*r+ �!�9r <br /> 1 qkY a� �i {fi��°sn.. �ia.M sa+; +G{,.:its 4 1 n ip♦ fa,."

Primarily,a course trail <br /> should be consistent,a mixture of continuous and linked targets can be confusing and dangerous. <br /> Although space limitations may dictate that a club build a linked trail course on a particular piece of <br /> property,the better design from a safety perspective is the continuous trail. <br />
