Traditional/field archery

grosser

Hey I have done some research and found that there are no field archery clubs/groups in Galway.
Are there people who might be interested in trying to form a group or club?
If so please pm so maybe so we can see what measures need to be taken to start one.

thats olympic style. field archery is based on the idea of hunting. 3d targets are used in wooded areas and you walk through the course.

If you want to shoot some 3D archery in Connaught drop up to Mayo Archery Club one Sunday. Our 3D course is located between Castlebar and Ballina. Check out some of the photos from shoots held over the last couple of years on our Facebook page:
