WPRA Pattern

could you please let me know what the distance between each barrel is?

Regards,
Rebecca.

On a standard WPRA pattern, the distances are as follows:

scoreline to the first barrel – 60 ft
1st barrel to the 2nd barrel – 90 ft
2nd barrel to the 3rd barrel – 105 ft.

If you decrease the size of your pattern, you should do so in proportion and in many arenas you will have to set a smaller pattern because the size of the arena will not allow you to set this large a pattern. When setting the pattern, you should allow plenty of room for stopping if you run to a closed gate and your barrels should be at least 18 ft from the fence at the 1st and
2nd and at least 25-30 ft from the fence at the 3rd.
