archery tournaments

Competitive target shooting

Archery tournaments are organized competitions where archers shoot arrows at targets, with scores determined by accuracy.

Formats vary from indoor target shooting to outdoor field courses simulating hunting conditions.

Olympic archery uses recurve bows at fixed distances, while other tournaments allow compound bows or traditional equipment: She qualified for the national archery tournament.
