field archery

Forest bow sport

Field archery is a form of archery conducted over varied outdoor terrain rather than at a flat range with fixed distances.

Archers walk a course through woods or fields, shooting at targets placed at different distances and angles, often unmarked.

The discipline emphasizes judgment of distance and adaptation to natural conditions: She preferred field archery to the predictability of target archery.
