3D Archery is a form of archery that involves shooting at life-sized, three-dimensional animal targets placed at varying distances in a natural setting. This sport simulates hunting scenarios, allowing archers to practice their skills in a realistic environment. Participants use either compound or traditional bows to aim at these targets, which are often made of foam.
Competitions in 3D Archery are typically held in outdoor ranges, where archers navigate through a course with multiple shooting stations. Scoring is based on accuracy, with points awarded for hitting specific areas of the target. This engaging activity promotes both skill development and a deeper appreciation for wildlife.
