Since its inception in 1939 field archery has evolved into a World class sport yet on the clubman level it can offer individuals or whole families a fascinating leisure pastime for young and old alike.
It is a woodland sport, with targets set out over challenging terrain and shot from a variety of distances 10-80 yards which vary from uphill to downhill. Field archery has been called "golf in a forest" an apt description for it is shot by groups, shooting either 28 targets or twice round a 14 unit and trying to achieve the maximum of 560 points per 28 targets.
Adults shoot 80 yards max, 13 to 16 years up to 50 yards and 9 to 13s up to 30 yards.
Crossbows are banned under the SFAA /IFAA rules and regulations. Hunting with any type of Bow and Arrows is ILLEGAL in Britain.
