I shoot a high tech "hunting" bow (although you cannot hunt in the UK with a bow) but at targets. There is the traditional target archery in open fields at set distances and target face sizes etc. However, I only do "field" archery, which in very loose terms is simulated hunting. You go around a course (typically in a woods), shooting at targets (spots, 2D animal faces or 3D rubber animals) at either know distances or unknown distances, where you have to estimate the distances from the shooting peg.

Over the years I have represented my county and have won a national championship, got a couple of national records and numerous podiums.






Nice compound bow! I used to a bit of that too. I just used a club with targets but like the look of the hunting foam animal targets.
Here's a pic of my bow, sorry for the messy spare room ;-)
