Field Archery by Michael Hamlett-Wood
Field Archery is the definitive guide to this increasingly popular and highly enjoyable form of archery which involves simulated hunting of 'big game', using 3D targets, in woodland or on rough ground. The author, a qualified instructor with over thirty years' experience in field archery, discusses the fundamentals of the sport such as: learning the various techniques of shooting a bow, organizing an archery ground; the different types of targets; repairing equipment; and setting up the wide variety of bows used; and the rules of the regulating organizations. Also included are descriptions of field archery competition which help to give a flavour of this extremely rewarding and satisfying sport for which no great level of fitness is required and which is suitable for all ages. Michael Hamlett-Wood has distilled his many years of experience and knowledge into Field Archery. It is an indispensable guide for all those contemplating field archery as well as for those already involved.
Michael Hamlett-Wood started shooting in 1967, initially as a target archer, but soon discovered that the delights of field archery were more to his taste. He started a club on moving to Cheshire and was actively involved in assisting with running the club and competition shoots for many years. His club was the first to stage regular competition shoots using home-made 3D targets, before the American mass-produced targets came into use. He has taught hundreds of beginners the art of shooting with a bow. He has shot mainly in the Freestyle class and, in later years, the Compound Unlimited classes, shooting frequently in open competitions and in National Championships - with some medals to show for it. He is still an active field archer.
