Archery tournaments are competitive events where archers shoot arrows at targets to score points. Participants are usually divided into categories based on age, skill level, and equipment type, such as recurve or compound bows. The tournaments can take place outdoors or indoors, and they often follow specific rules and formats, such as Olympic rounds or field archery. During a tournament, archers take turns shooting a set number of arrows at a target placed at a designated distance. Scores are calculated based on where the arrows land on the target, with points awarded for accuracy. Tournaments can be local, national, or international, attracting archers from various backgrounds and skill levels.
