Archery is a sport which requires both physical and mental strength. Though to many it may seem like a sport which requires few effort, archery is a very challenging game. Techniques and concentration are the two most important tools that are needed to do well in archery. The satisfaction in archery comes from achieving the target score that the archer has set for himself or herself.
Archery is divided to two main types, target archery and field archery. Target archery is the form of archery whereby archery shoot different sizes of target paper at a different distances. Whereas field archery is the form of archery whereby archers shoot still structure of wild animals.
The popularity of target archery has spread throughout the whole world. Due to this demand for this sport, a body was formed to supervise and regulate the rules for target archery. This body is called FITA ( International Archery Federation.).
The same can not be said for field archery. This form of archery requires irregular shooting grounds and patience. Field archery is very popular in America. Since it is practiced in only a few countries, there are no international tournaments for it.
