Are you trying to say that Target Archery is less of a challenge than Field Archery? I think you will find that one of the reasons that Field Archery is less popular than Target, is that the venues are few and far between compared to Target Archery grounds.
I would have to travel for an hour to get to the nearest Field Archery club, or I can go less than 10 minutes down the road to my local Target Archery club. Archery is archery, as I see it, the only difference is not knowing the exact distance you are shooting at. However, like anything, in time you start to learn this and can give quite accurate measurements of distances just by looking.
So now then, what’s the difference, you know how far away your target is, we know how far away our target is, in principle it’s the same, so I see it makes no difference which discipline of the sport people follow. The same could be said about Recurve and Compounds, should be all be shooting Longbows? I have shot all 3, and they all require their own unique skills to shoot properly, no one is that much harder than the other, its just down to a level of accuracy.
