If you won a tournament like that, you could really call yourself a champion archer! |
Its not missing, it's on Skye! The Skye week archery tournament is a double clout, a double field round, and a double FITA. The winner is the one the with the best overall score!
I did it this year, it was my first taste of field. I thoroughly enjoyed the field round, although it's difficult to find a measure of how well you're shooting on a field round, as you can never tell whether you shot a bad shot and that caused it not to go in the gold, or whether your sightmark was wrong, whether you didn't account for the slope....etc.
