Archery - Field Archery

Field Archery is a form which involves shooting at targets generally set at various distances (often unmarked) in a in woodland and rough terrain. Field Archery is particularly popular in Europe and America. One goal of field archery is to improve the techniques and abilities required for bow hunting in a more realistic outdoor and wooded setting. Field Archery is usually shot according to either IFAA (International Field Archery Association) rules or to FITA (Federation International de Tir a L'Arc or International Archery Federation) rules.

FITA rounds consist of 24 targets, which may have marked or unmarked distances depending on the specific type of round. FITA Field Archery is very popular in Western Europe whereas 3D is shot mostly in the Americas and Oceania. National Field Archery Association (NFAA) is the US affiliate of the International Field Archery Association. Three common types of NFAA round are the field, hunter, and animal. A round consists of 28 targets in two units of 14. The information in the following sections is taken from the NFAA Styles and Rules.


Some national organisations (such as the NFAS in the UK) have their own rules. n the United Kingdom the NFAS (National Field Archery Society) sets the rules for many shoots including Big Game and 3D shoots. Most of these consist of 36 or 40 targets or 2x20 targets. The NFAS is not affiliated to any international organisation.
