Target Archery is truly a global sport which continues to grow in leaps and bounds. When people think of Archery, an image of the round, colourful target is usually what’s on their mind.
- This is a discipline of Archery that is shot both indoors and out. Archers shoot from distances of 18 to 90 metres. The targets themselves are the traditional single-spot, five-colour, ten-ring targets, but three-spot, three-colour, six-ring targets are also used.
Recreational Target Archery is very popular, but for those interested in becoming a high-performance athlete in the sport of Archery, opportunities abound.
Bow style is often a preference. But depending on where you want to go with your sport, your end goal may dictate your equipment choice. Recurve Bows are used at the Olympic Games, while Compound Bows are used at the World Games. Paralympic Archers may use either at the Paralympic Games.
Archery Manitoba works towards developing skills in emerging archers. Young athletes can take advantage of the coaching offered to those on our Provincial Target Team. With opportunities to participate in Local, Provincial, National and International competitions, the archers’ advancement is paramount to goals of the Provincial Sport Organization.
