ARCHERY
Pleasing and very relaxing
This deftness game is very captiving and made for people of ages
The link between the player and the bow is perfect when esthetics meets efficiency. The bowman respects his bow while learning to dominate it. Archery is more than a sport, it is an art.
The way this activity is organised is adaptable to all kinds of challenges.
Two possible practices:
Classical shooting on targets :
the beginner starts shooting approximately 8 metres away from the target, then he will evolue while learning different techniques (such as the global, "Appache" ways or the Mongolian technique...). Quite quickly, the distance between the target and the bowman will reach 15 metres.
Flag shooting:
this activity isn't as well-known as the usual target shooting, but it is extremely interesting. Flag shooting takes place on a wide open space. The aim is to reach a 15-metres-wide perimeter marked out by a flag. This perimeter is set at a distance of at least 50 metres. The arrows used for this activity are specific. They are made of wood and can be made by those participating.
They are special in that they have slower and wider flight and fall than the usual arrows.
