Open Archery

Open archery is a style of archery where the archer uses traditional or less restrictive equipment, often with a more natural stance and sighting method. Unlike target archery, which emphasizes precision and standardized gear, open archery encourages individualized form and equipment customization. It promotes a flexible, accessible approach, allowing for various bows such as recurve, longbows, or handmade designs. The focus is on the enjoyment of shooting, skill development, and sometimes competitive accuracy. Overall, open archery combines tradition with personal expression, making it suitable for beginners and experienced archers alike who value a more relaxed and versatile style.
