North Wales Field Archery

Come and enjoy the North Wales Field Archery Experience. An Introduction to the most enjoyable and unique sport of Field Archery.

Field archery involves shooting arrows at targets but this is where the similarity to standard target archery ends. During a shoot archers will shoot at up to 40 different targets in sequence, shooting up to 3 arrows at each target. The field archery course is usually situated in woodland and the targets are all set at different un-marked distances. The targets may have to be shot up or down gradients, at a variety of different distances or shooting angles. A selection of different rounds can be shot on the field course but the most commonly shot are the 'Field' and 'Hunter' rounds. The targets also vary in size depending on the round being shot and the distance. In short, field archery involves a level of knowledge and intuition which has a greater effect on success than perhaps in any other form of archery. It is this challenge that attracts archers to field archery
