While the 3-D season is slowly ending the indoor season is ablaut ready to start. Indoor archery is a lot different than outdoor archery. One of the main differences is that you know how far away the target that you are shooting at is. Another difference between the two is that in indoor archery you shoot paper targets and not foam animals. So now you are probably wondering what the point of indoor archery is.
Indoor archery is just as important, if not more important, then 3-D competitions. The reason why it is just as important is because they allow you to shoot your bow during the winter. This keeps you in shape so when 3-D season comes back around you will be able to shoot your bow for a long period of time without getting tired. Another reason why indoor archery is important is because it is a great way to perfect your form. Since you do not have as many variables when you are inside you can focus on the exact problem you are having with your form. Outside it is often hard to fix these problems because there are too many variables such as wind, temperature, and unknown yardage.
While you are inside practicing you may find the need to change equipment. This is the perfect time to do this because you will be able to learn how to use your new equipment before you have to step outside. Some equipment that you might want to look in to changing would be your release, arrow rest, or sight. These items are changed and upgraded often due to the advances in technology. During the fall season and going into the winter season is also the best time to join a league. Leagues are a good way to learn from other in a competitive environment. The important thing though is to sign up early because these leagues can fill up very quickly.
The standard distance for indoor archery is 20 yards are 18 meters. These two distances are only about four inches apart so it shouldn’t make a big difference on where your pin needs to be. The amount of arrows that you shoot depends on which organization’s rules your particular league is following. You can expect to shoot between three and five arrows each in one round. This means that you should have at least six if not seven arrows in case one of your arrows breaks. Make sure you ask the person in charge of the league or range where the league is held the rules of the range. These rules are usually posted somewhere at the range but sometimes it can be hard to find them. Even if it is your first time shooting indoors you can still have fun!
