Archery tournaments are competitive events where archers shoot arrows at targets to score points. Participants are usually divided into categories based on age, gender, and skill level. The tournaments can take place outdoors or indoors, and they often follow specific rules set by organizations like World Archery or USA Archery. During a tournament, archers take turns shooting a set number of arrows at designated distances. Scores are calculated based on where the arrows land on the target, with points awarded for accuracy. Tournaments can vary in format, including individual and team competitions, and they often culminate in awards for top performers.
