  • Understanding FITA Field Archery
    Archery Victoria Title: Booklet Subject: Understanding FITA Field Archery Author: Chief Executive Officer - Trevor Filmer Date: 13/06/12 Replaces: 18/02/11 Number: 1215 Pages: 40 Understanding FITA Field Archery An extract from the FITA Field Guidelines booklet published by FITA in 1995 Overview Field shooting is a popular archery shooting discipline in most countries but in order to make it more popular and easier for beginners to take up field shooting we will use this booklet to try and explain some of the "secrets" of field archery. Shooting field archery is basically the same as shooting target archery, and very often one will find that a good target archer will also become a good field archer. However, as you will see there are quite a few things that should be kept in mind when shooting field - and this is what this booklet is all about. In field shooting, all Archery Victoria divisions are accepted, meaning that there are divisions for Compound, Recurve and Barebow. Compounds are mostly shot with a release aid and a magnified scope sight, and the archer will generally use the same equipment as on the target disciplines. Recurve is shot with a recurve bow and uses sights and stabilizers. Barebow is shot with a recurve, compound, limited compound or longbow without a sight or stabilizer; however, different aiming techniques are used, so that the archer can use the point of their arrow or their arrow rest as an aiming device. The barebow archer will most probably "string walk" to vary the position of the arrow in relation to his aiming eye, or use different anchor points, or a combination of both in order to make it possible to aim in the middle at different distances.

  • Archery Study Guide HISTORY
    Archery Study Guide HISTORY The origin of archery is unknown; however, archery has been an activity with varied objectives for human beings since the beginning of recorded history. The successful use of archery skills by primitive people literally meant survival for them by providing food. Skilled archers through the ages were able to win battles, and that changed the course of history for many nations. In contemporary society, target archery is considered a challenging sport for the competitor who places value on the pursuit of excellence. The oldest tournament on record is the Ancient Scorton Silver Arrow Contest in Yorkshire, held every year since 1673, excluding the 2 World Wars. The National Archery Association (NAA) is the governing body of target archery, founded in 1879. The National Field Archery Association (NFAA) was established in 1936, sets rules and regulations governing field archery competition. Archery first appeared as a sport in the 1900 Olympics Games in Paris and was held at the Games of 1904, 1908 and 1920. However, international rules had not yet been developed and each host country used its own format. As a result, archery events in these early Olympic Games varied widely. Because of the lack of uniform international rules archery was then dropped from the Olympic Games. Target archery was adopted back into the Olympics in 1972 There are four archery events held at the Olympics: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team and Women's Team. Archers used to shoot a double FITA round of 288 total arrows, with the championship decided by the highest total score.
