yesterday I went up into the mountains and into the the woods to participate in what they call her in france "tir nature" it's abit like 3D but is on animal targets or photo's of animals on foam buts at unspecifided distances from 10 m to 50 m , It was over two rounds off 21 targets and using two arrows marked one and two and shot in that order and from two different positions, Do you have a competion like this and what is it called ?????

It was great fun I went round with longbowmen recurve archers had grilled lunch after the first round and this was all done in autumn sunshine with all the colours to go with. Absolutely amazing day !!!!

I looked at the gnas site and read the rules and it seems to be the same except for the scoring is slightly different, but I can understand why its popular, I still like the 3D very much but was excited by the chalenge of the field as you have to make the first arrow count. Plus am very happy with myself for first time out and a possible 1470 points for the day I finished with 1255 which I was told was not to shabby.

You've almost described NFAS archery to a T.

The only difference is that we don't always go up Mountains, a round is 40 targets, bacon butties before you start is traditional, and lunch is normally a burger.

Other than that it sounds just like it.
