traditional archery

Bow without sights

Traditional archery is the practice of shooting bows without modern aids like sights, stabilizers, or mechanical releases.

It typically involves recurve bows, longbows, or other historical designs, emphasizing instinctive aiming and form over technology: He got into traditional archery after years of hunting with a compound bow.

The term distinguishes itself from competitive target archery and modern bowhunting.
