“Archery Tradition” is a traditional archery competition with four main archery disciplines: Target Archery, Field Archery (American Field, 2D & 3D hunting), Dynamic targets and Long range archery.

*******General disciplines

***Stand shooting – is shooting at a static target from standard distances
(20-25-30-35 m). This is the easiest and the most common way to determine the level of the shooter (archer), it also is fundamental for working out the basic techniques of shooting with a traditional bow.
***Practical shooting (Field Archery, 3D Archery) – is a simulation of a real hunting, which must show the archer`s ability to shoot at unknown distances, from different angles and unusual shooting positions.
***Dynamic shooting – combines the diversity of intuitively shootings at moving targets, and also shooting and moving. The examples are the following types of shooting : shooting at a pendulum target, a windmill and “flu-flu” disks.
***Long range shooting – one of the ancient and historic kinds of shooting, used by archers in wartime. They include such discipline as: target shooting at 60 meters and more, Korean shooting at 90 and 150 m, Clout shooting, when you have to shoot a canopy in a given sector , flight shooting – firing at a maximum distance.

******Main provisions
After registration, participants will be divided into 4 groups, which will start simultaneously in 4 different stages, but all stages will be passed in turns. A team leader, writer and controller will be appointed for each group by organizers. The leader will be responsible for a group`s correct passage of the route and
the announcement of score points that should be written to the score cards by the writer, and a controller will confirm their authenticity.
