a form of archery where targets are placed at varying distances in natural settings

Field archery is a type of archery where archers shoot at targets set in outdoor settings, often in natural environments like forests or fields. Unlike target archery, the targets are placed at varying and sometimes uneven distances, which adds an element of difficulty. Archers must adjust their aim based on the distance and terrain. The targets can vary in size and may be set in different positions, sometimes requiring the archer to shoot uphill or downhill. Field archery emphasizes accuracy, adaptability, and the ability to assess and navigate different shooting conditions.

  • Field archery competitions often include different shooting positions.
  • Weather conditions can significantly affect field archery performance.
  • Competitors navigated through dense foliage during the field archery tournament.
  • The forest provided a challenging backdrop for field archery practice.
  • Field archery demands both precision and adaptability from archers.
