Field for me also, can't beat a good walk through the woods with good friends, seeing the changes that Nature makes throughout the year. _________________ Users are not allowed signatures untill they have made 5 posts - this is to prevent spam bots spamming the forums.

Seems that the mould is set and Field archery is our forte, great stuff. There is nothing better than walking in the bush enjoying a fine sunny day shooting arrows and having a good time to boot

Field mainly, However i do shoot Target every now and then as thats where i cut my teeth so to speak. In truth I think target archery is the perfect place to start to learn form and shooting styles. _________________ Trykon XL www.autonomousarchers.co.uk

Target for me is deffinately somewhere to discipline yourself and your technique, field is a more relaxed atmosphere, well thats how I find it _________________ Why not?

Question if I may TrykonXL. What makes target better than field as the perfect place to start to learn form and shooting styles? Wondering here what your rationale is because both require the archer to fling arrows

For me it's field, preferably with a stick bow. I love roving in the woods on autumn mornings stump shooting. I'm a hunter at heart. One day Steve kirk _________________ JUST SHOOT IT Owlethall Bowmen Secretary

They can't run very fast and its easy to get off a second shot.
