Archery is often divided into three main categories: target archery, field archery and bowhunting. Each one has different rules and equipment.
Target Archery: This is the most common type of archery. The goal is to shoot at a stationary target from a set distance. There are many different types of target archery, including indoor and outdoor, Olympic recurve, Compound bows and more.
Field Archery: In this type of archery, the targets are placed at various distances in an outdoor setting. Field archery can be done individually or in teams.
Bowhunting: As the name suggests, this type of archery is used for hunting animals. Bowhunters use specialised equipment designed for taking down game animals humanely.
