“Field archery is basically archery combined with with low impact bush walking”
Discover Field Archery
Field archery is a really fun way to get into the sport of archery as it is the most natural form of shooting. Basically it combines archery and bushwalking. It is based around shooting in woods, forests and open ground not just standing in front of the same target. Instead this is you, with a bow and arrows in the woods, often with friends and all sorts of targets from paper circles to dinosaurs. Field archery includes three bowstyles: recurve, compound and traditional (longbow, horse bow, etc). It is suitable for ages 7-80 years and all types of fitness levels.
At Lilydale Bowmen we stand to promote the spread of archery in its many forms, including competitive target shooting, bow hunting, and personal practice for fun, exercise, and meditation.
Lilydale Bowmen encourages new members of all ages to come and join
