The NFAS / National Field Archery Society exists to foster and promote Field Archery as a sport. All courses are unmarked (i.e. unknown distances), usually situated in woodland, and targets are predominantly 3D or paper animal faces.
There are eleven shooting styles within the society:
Primitive,Longbow, American Flatbow, Hunting Tackle, Barebow, Traditional Bowhunter, Freestyle, Bowhunter, Compound Limited, Unlimited and Crossbow.
Each style is split into six classes:
Gents, Ladies, Junior Boys, Junior Girls, U12 (Cub) Boys, U12 (Cub) Girls.
On a standard round an archer will shoot until he/she scores, up to a maximum of three arrows. Arrows are shot from the following pegs:
Shoots are held throughout the year all over the country. We also currently hold two championship events:
