Field Archery

Field archery is an archery discipline in which archers shoot at targets set at varying distances in outdoor terrain. The courses usually run through forests or hilly landscapes. Distances may be known or unknown, depending on the rules being used.

Typical features of field archery include:

• A combination of shooting technique and distance estimation
• Natural outdoor courses
• Constantly changing shooting distances
• Uphill and downhill shots

Popular field archery competitions are organized by associations such as World Archery and the International Field Archery Association.
