What is Field Archery?

E-mail Print PDF

altField archery involves shooting at targets over varying unmarked distances, often in woodland and rough terrain (rarely in a field). The archers follow a course, shooting at typically 28 to 36 targets in sequence, each from one or more positions depending on the rules in operation. The courselayer will try to fool the archer into mis-judging the distance by subtle use of dead ground or by using natural obstacles!

A variety of bow styles may be used (more information here).
We shoot at life-size 3D animal targets or paper pictures of animals or birds.

Field archery provides exercise, builds stamina and requires self-control. But above all it's fun for all the family!

Who are LEFA?

E-mail Print PDF

Long Eaton Field Archers are a field archery club, run entirely by volunteers. We have about 200 members, mostly from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and neighbouring counties.  We put on club shoots for our members, open shoots for other clubs, beginners courses and ongoing coaching and more, all in a wood near Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

Field archery is archery done in the woods as opposed to Target archery which takes place on a field.  Confused? Don't be.  At the end of the day we are all archers with very similar disciplines, but we have different types of bows, targets, and areas in which we shoot. Read 'What is Field Archery' and take a look at our gallery and it will become clearer.

Interested?  Want to know more?  Read on, your questions will be answered, or vist our  Contact LEFA  page and we will get back to you with answers.
