In WA Field and 3D competitions you have barebow, recurve, compound, traditional and longbow categories in both junior and adult classes, both for men and women. The difference between Field and 3D rounds are that the archers shoot at different target type, Field archery round is shot at target faces with 5 circular rings, 3D archery round is shot on look alike animal figures made of synthetic foam.
Everybody who enjoys spending time outdoors will enjoy field archery, and it is challenging on it’s own as well as great practice for other types of archery since you will have to shoot uphill, downhill, sidehill and everything else you can think of – no target is like the previous, and no course is similar to another. You just cannot get bored with this sport, it’s too challenging and varied. If you are a travelling person you may find field courses to visit all over the world, from Northern Norway to Southern New Zealand.
