We are members of the National Field Archery Society which promotes Field Archery as opposed to Target Archery. Field archery is usually practised in natural undulating terrain, in woodland preferably, shooting at targets which are pictures or 3D models of game animals at unmarked distances. This is very much a family sport and all ages are accommodated for, with the emphasis on enjoyment of the sport.
Competition is at both club and national level.
Club shoots are held throughout the country every weekend. This year the Scottish Championships were held at Parton near Castle Douglas over the Easter weekend. Although we do not have access to a wood at this time we are seeking to find suitable woodland locally. We are also looking for a venue for indoor practice in the Mintlaw area and would welcome any suggestions. We are looking to recruit both experienced and novice archers to the club.
