RE: 3D Archery competition
I always imagined just shooting a boring circular target.
Oh yes, me too! And that's what we started with when we joined an archery club. My boyfriend's father does 3D archery though and he has has a little area set up on his land for practice, so we can do both 3D practice and the set distances practice in our backyard! There are clubs dedicated to both forms here in the Netherlands and there are contests for both aswell, both nationally and internationally :-)
Bows aren't cheap indeed, though there are some very well priced ones on the market. Mine was less than 100 euros and that's with its own case and a couple of arrows too!
100 euros only?! I was probably looking at some fancy bow shop...
That's great that you can also practice at home. If I wanted to start with archery, I would have to go to a club as well, because I live in a housing estate. Well, there is a park, but it would seem strange if I shoot near people :D
It's a fact that I didn't even search for what type of archery competitions exists. So I'm smarter now! 3D archery looks useful if some survival struggle ever happened :D
Yeah it could really be useful for survival indeed! Though for now, it's just fun to do :D
Maybe you did check out a fancy bow shop. The compound bows are pretty expensive either way, but recurve bows don't have to be too expensive.
