Field Archery at London Archers
London Archers has an active field shooting membership. Mini field shoots are held on the second friday of the month, normal club shoots are on the first and third friday of the month.
Field shooting is a sport that requires skill and judgement and relies on instinct as the distances are not set and sights are not used. It seeks to replicate the experience of traditional bow hunting (hunting with a bow is illegal in the UK) and usually consists of a series of artificial animal targets set up in natural woodland.
Obviously we don't have a great deal of woodland on our archery field, so we set up targets that are designed to train the 'instinctive' shooting style.
The images here are from a recent shoot that our club members attended.
