Archery can be inexpensive to get started in, and skill improvements can be made in a short time. To see more about the benefits of archery, check out my Top 10 Benefits Of Practicing Archery article. There are more than 10 benefits for sure, but that article can give you an idea of the most common benefits a new archery will experience. We started practicing archery as a family, and it was easy to enjoy with a group. The time spent in archery, and with the family, has been well worth the cost.
The only upkeep costs you can expect, are buying new arrows and targets when you need them. There are many archery competitions around the world held by different archery organizations or groups. The odds are that there is an archery competition that will take place near you at some point every year.
USA Archery holds many tournaments throughout the year at different locations across the US for their members. You can find an event with them here. For field archery, and other events, you can try the National Field Archery Association here. But again, you will need to pay for a membership to compete. After you sign up, you can register for events and compete against other archers. The reason I mention these two organizations is to show how widely accepted archery is as a sport.
Anyone can join into a local tournament and compete their way to the big leagues. Eventually reaching the more competitive tournaments and competitions that have a cash prize for the winner, and are held in different places around the world.

Skip to content Sports have colored culture on a global scale for generations. The Sport of Archery Although physical contact and defensive and offensive maneuvers are absent, bow hunting requires strength and stamina that may seem subtle to the casual observer.
What is Bow Hunting? Target — the competitor shoots at a target with either a recurved or compound bow. Distances and target diameters are based on the type of target and whether shooting indoors or outdoors. Competitions are between individuals or teams.
Field — the course is set up for the archer to shoot a set number of arrows at varying targets over cross-country type terrain. Distances and targets vary and are not specified to the competitor. Archery increases balance, strength, focus, coordination and raises self awareness and conciousness through grounding, centering and steady breathing.
