ARCHERY: A MODERN AND TRADITIONAL SPORT

There are two decisions you need to make when you’re first starting archery: Which type of archery you’re interested in, and which bow will work best for you. One of the most popular types of archery for beginners is target archery. This consists of shooting bullseye targets. This is a great style for beginners because an archer can set up and practice in a variety of settings – indoors and outdoors. This is the style of archery featured in the Olympics. If you like hiking or just getting outdoors, you’ll love field archery! Archers shoot at stationary bullseye targets, which are set along a course through the woods. The fun of field archery isn’t just shooting different distances, but also the challenge of uphill and downhill shots. If you’re interested in archery and love the outdoors, you should also check out 3D archery! In this game, you shoot at 3-dimensional foam animal targets, which are set at different distances throughout the woods. There are closer distances for beginners and more challenging shots for increased skill levels. If you loved ‘The Hunger Games’ and feel a connection to the old school, authentic archery, you need to try traditional archery. The bows used in traditional shooting don’t have modern accessories, which lets archers really connect with their bow and arrows. Traditional archery might mean shooting at targets or at stumps.
