Archery Competition Rules & Format

Sponsored by

Archery is an ancient sport that combines skill, focus, and precision. Originating as a tool for hunting and warfare, it has evolved into a popular recreational activity and competitive sport. Archers use bows to shoot arrows at a target, aiming for accuracy and consistency. The sport requires a blend of physical strength, mental concentration, and discipline, as each shot demands steady hands, perfect alignment, and calm under pressure. Whether practiced indoors or outdoors, archery offers a rewarding challenge, enhancing coordination and focus while fostering a deep connection between the archer and their target.
