The arrows used in flight archery are typically lighter and specially designed for long-distance flights. This sport tests the archer's skill in controlling the arrow's path, along with the ability to use the right equipment and technique to maximize distance. Flight archery is often practiced in open spaces, and competitions focus on the range an archer can achieve.
