Target Archery
This is an Olympic sport in which the UK does quite well. In this arrows are shot at set distances in rounds at a target
of coloured rings. A round consists of set numbers of arrows at a selection of different distances. These range from
20yds to 100yds and 4 dozen to 12 dozen arrows, there are Imperial rounds which have been shot for centuries and
more recent metric rounds which are the International rounds set by FITA (Federation International de Tir a l'Arc) the
International governing body.

Field Archery
This is something like golf. Archers walk round a course, often in woodland, shooting at different targets which may
be pictures of animals, as in hunting.

Roving
This is archery where the archers take a walk and targets are picked as they wander, they may be tufts of grass or
similar that are picked by the best archer at the last target.

Clout
Shooting the target is a stick in the ground and the arrows are shot up in the air to fall closest to the stick.

Popinjay
Arrows are shot at 'birds' on a pole from underneath.

Flight
Shooting is where maximum distance is aimed for. This is very rarely shot in the UK as it requires a very long
distance, the current record is over a mile and specialist bows are used.
