Mounted Archery

Mounted archery is a form of archery practiced while riding a horse. This ancient skill integrates the use of a bow and arrow with the movement and rhythm of the horse, requiring both the archer and the horse to work in harmony. Historically, it was utilized in warfare and hunting by various cultures, such as the Mongols and the Native Americans. Today, mounted archery is often a competitive sport, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and the ability to shoot arrows at targets while navigating an obstacle course or moving targets. It celebrates a unique blend of equestrianism and archery.
